"Winston Smith's Studio Fallout partners once again with the legendary record label Alternative Tentacles to present The Bat Show 3.0, a special holiday edition featuring a retrospective of Smith's original "bat" icon alongside more than 45 new artist interpretations. This year, Studio Fallout and Alternative Tentacles join forces with 111 Minna Gallery to showcase the exhibition in their iconic downtown San Francisco space."
"Reflecting on the origins of the iconic bat, Smith shared: "It was based on a chicken-scratch rendering that Biafra suggested to me over 40 years ago, and on cartoons I used to pass around the classroom when I was 9 or 10." He adds, "It's been very gratifying to see the totally cool re-interpretations of my basic bat design by artists and fans over the last 45 years.""
Winston Smith's Studio Fallout and Alternative Tentacles present The Bat Show 3.0 at 111 Minna Gallery on December 19, 2025, with a one-night pop-up party beginning at 5:00 PM and music by Punk Rock Karaoke. The exhibition pairs the original Alternative Tentacles 'bat' emblem with more than 45 new artist interpretations and includes rare works from the label's permanent collection. Exclusive Studio Fallout and Alternative Tentacles merchandise will be available. A closing party runs December 20, 2025, from 12:00–5:00 PM, and artwork comes down on December 21, 2025. The show celebrates San Francisco's counterculture legacy.
