Alien She
Sep 3, 2015 – Jan 9, 2016
Alien She, curated by Astria Suparak + Ceci Moss, is the first exhibition to examine the lasting impact of Riot Grrrl on artists and cultural producers working today. A pioneering punk feminist movement that emerged in the early 1990s, Riot Grrrl has had a pivotal influence, inspiring many around the world to pursue socially and politically progressive careers as artists, activists, authors and educators. Emphasizing female and youth empowerment, collaborative organization, creative resistance and DIY ethics, Riot Grrrl helped a new generation to become active feminists and create their own culture and communities that reflect their values and experiences, in contrast to mainstream conventions and expectations.
Riot Grrrl formed in reaction to pervasive and violent sexism, racism and homophobia in the punk music scene and in the culture at large. Its participants adapted strategies from earlier queer and punk feminisms and ‘70s radical politics, while also popularizing discussions of identity politics occurring within academia, but in a language that spoke to a younger generation. This self-organized network made up of teenagers and twenty-somethings reached one another through various platforms, such as letters, zines, local meetings, regional conferences, homemade videos, and later, chat rooms, listservs and message boards. The movement eventually spread worldwide, with chapters opening in at least thirty-two states and twenty-six countries.* Its ethos and aesthetics have survived well past its initial period in the ‘90s, with many new chapters forming in recent years. Riot Grrrl’s influence on contemporary global culture is increasingly evident – from the Russian collective Pussy Riot’s protest against corrupt government-church relations to the popular teen website Rookie and the launch of Girls Rock Camps and Ladyfest music and art festivals around the world.
Alien She focuses on seven people whose visual art practices were informed by their contact with Riot Grrrl. Many of them work in multiple disciplines, such as sculpture, installation, video, documentary film, photography, drawing, printmaking, new media, social practice, curation, music, writing and performance – a reflection of the movement’s artistic diversity and mutability. Each artist is represented by several projects from the last 20 years, including new and rarely seen works, providing an insight into the development of their creative practices and individual trajectories.

The second of two semi-static posed figures is complete. This version depicts the creature as it appears in the deleted "crab-walker" scene from the 1979 film as Lambert and Parker make a desperate attempt to escape the Nostromo. This deleted scene however was thought comical by many, not well executed on film and revealed too much of the creature...reducing it to nothing more than a man in a rubber suit...something Ridley Scott was avoiding by using smoke and shadow.
Hand sculpted, hand painted. 1:18 scale. I borrowed resin cast parts from the original Alien figure I created a year earlier, made modifications to the torso, neck, shoulders
and legs.
When crouched or "crab walking", the figure is approx. 3" high from highest point on head to the feet. When standing, the figure is approx. 5.25" high, still not fully erect as the leg and hip joints limit the full motion (again, this was originally meant to be a static posed figure). Fortunately I was able to add several articulation points to the figure: Ball jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles. Vacuum formed PETG dome is removable. The tail is static but is attached using a revoltech joint and can be switched out with a longer tail option.
Original was sculpted using Aves FIXIT sculpt, a two part epoxy. Parts were cast in resin and assembled to build this version. Used Model Masters Polly Scale and Tamiya acrylics.

Very close view of a succulent plant (Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi?) - Another product of the day I was playing with new extension tube kit for macro - thanks to Black&W
YOU MUST! View On Black ;-)
The first of my Alien Visitors was made from two Japanese plastic kits. The head, torso, hands and feet came from one of four “Monster Cyborg” kits made by Imai around 1984. The arms and legs in this kit were just thin rods intended to flail about as the figure was jiggled. I found more substantial limbs in an older (1976?) Marui kit of a robot named Jagaranda. I went to the trouble of combining these two kits because I really wanted to use the Imai head, which seemed to be based on the goblin-like creatures reportedly seen in Hopkinsville, Kentucky in 1955. This was a nice change of pace from all the usual “grays”!
The gun came from a Tomy Zoid. I littered the base with some tools to give a rustic, farm-like look, thinking that the extraterrestrial might be looking for a cow.
Completed in 1993.
Eagle Eye Joes last thought is this Adventure Team gig has come back to bite him in the ......lol :)
Alien Visitor number two is a more common “gray” type, and I set him down in New Mexico. The figure was sculpted by Mike Cusanelli who sold it as a resin piece under his early Ridwolf label as “Mars Man”. This was a straight painting job stuck to a base along with a big Aurora rock and a piece of lichen.
Completed in 1996.
In the near future, humanity has established a surprising and peaceful contact with an extraterrestrial civilisation. These aliens, whose technological level far surpasses our own, have granted us access to advanced technology with the potential to revolutionise all aspects of our world. Among the many gifts they have brought are a series of mysterious devices and toys that particularly captivate children – especially girls.
These alien devices appear to activate a form of direct communication with the girls' minds. It is as if they resonate with their brains, transmitting an infinite stream of knowledge. The girls become astonishingly intelligent, their understanding spanning from advanced physics to poetic interpretations of the universe. Yet a shadow of uncertainty remains: What is the purpose of this knowledge? What consequences will it have for them and for us as a society? Is this resonance a bridge between species, a collaboration, or something deeper and more enigmatic? While we ponder these questions, we choose to let the girls continue their play, both fascinated and apprehensive about what the future may hold.
This image series explores this fascinating and mysterious encounter between the girls and their new toys. It is a visual narrative of curiosity, technology, and the unknown.
Poem: "Resonance"
They came with light,no demands, no demands.The voices of their technology spokethrough the stars,a whisper in the mind.
The girls' hands reachedfor the alien objects,and with each touchcame a stream of universesthrough their minds.
Is it knowledge or a riddle?Is it freedom or destiny?They laugh, they learn,while we watchand wait for answers.
Haikus
Stars burn bright above,
mystic hands bring minds to sing
in unison's hum.
Girls' wide eyes glimmer,
knowledge flows like endless streams
through time's hidden paths.
Play births creation,
alien voices murmur
secrets to their hands.
Peace from the beyond,
technology’s dance now rests
in the girls' small palms.
What is their intent?
A gift or a subtle test?
We choose still to see.
A very important update on the Aliens situation,just for you my friends.I managed to sneak in and take this shot of a UFO coming to Earth....it's now a lot faster for them to travel here because they built a Portal to the universe....scary but true...I know that what I am doing is dangerous in case they find me but it's my obligation to the world to keep reporting..wish me luck!
To be continued...
P-S-Not done with photoshop:-)
#Alien: #Covenant #stop #motion art that will amaze you! Let's see the full video at viralgamesnews.com/flipbookaliencovenant.html
My LEGO version of the iconic 1979 ALIEN Xenomorph.
This has been an exceptionally challenging and and mind-expanding build. Working from references to create these organic shapes was a wholly new type of MOCing for me. I learned soooooo much during the late nights tinkering away at this guy.
Also, sorry for the delay in posting the shots of this bad boy. I had to move right after the convention and hadn't gotten a chance to photograph it. I still want to work on it further and finish up the bust ( if not the whole thing! ) someday. Again, I hope to have a REALLY pro photo setup again soon, fingers crossed for a home-loan and the perfect place to move into.
Comments and feedback much appreciated!
