Dan the Man took us over to the South End on Friday to check out the SoWa artist guild and the galleries at 450 Harrison Ave. We scoped the goods at Bobby From Boston’s gentleman’s store and then stumbled into the O•H+T Gallery, where we found this hidden gem from Ben Sloat.

“I’m Not Like Other Guys” examines the cult of celebrity surrounding Michael Jackson and his “bizarre and tragic personal transformation from black boy to a white man/woman”. The exhibition features paintings, digital prints, a view-master reel, and a stained glass piece depicting a scene from Thriller.

The point-and-shoot died earlier in the day, but I grabbed these photos on the cell phone camera. At first, I thought the whole thing was a little gimmicky, but by the end, it was hard not to feel guilty about Michael Jackson’s downfall. Like Dave Chappelle said:

Just remember when you look at that thing that he calls his face, that he did that for you somehow. Somehow he thought, ‘Maybe it’ll help, maybe people will like me more if I turn myself into a white ghoulish-like creature.’

“I’m Not Like Other Guys” is on display until Sept. 27 at the O•H+T Gallery, 450 Harrison Avenue, Boston, 617.423.1677.
