ARTIST STATEMENT
My work is project-based and highly researched, drawing from a wide range of source inspirations. Elements of Pop Art, Disney, folklore, true crime, kitsch, tabloids, and horror, have figured largely into many of my projects. I use traditional as well as non-traditional materials to produce disparate ingredients of language, folklore, and popular culture into 2 and 3-dimensional works. I explore materials that tend to be tactile and sensuous – and as they relate to my deep interests. Fluorescent paint, expanding foam, reflective surfaces, and plastic jewels are some of my hallmark materials. My work takes delight in balancing raw and luxurious materials, upending high and low culture, and deepening an understanding of mass visual communication and its evocations. I mainly focus on repositioning the core element of a supercharged event or object so that it may resonate in fresh and meaningful ways for my viewers.

On Monday, December 19th, we partnered with Lenovo computers to build out the ultimate art-themed smackdown. Hosted at Villain in Williamsburg, guests stepped into a fully imagined warehouse art party. That night it was all about participation. We created a series of art activities to get guests making art and meeting each other. Guests captured the revelry of the night in Ventikoland’s projection photo booth. After some savory Espolón cocktails and tacos the art battle was ready to begin. 2 amazing artists competed head-to-head in a series of timed challenges and a head-to-head battle of creative awesomeness.

Joe McGinniss the 68 year old US author of bestselling nonfiction and novels has released his latest politically sensitive book ‘The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin’ to much fanfare and outrage. McGinniss had rented the neighboring Alaskan house next to Pain for over 12 months. Palin responded with a 4.2m fence to block McGinniss’s view, as they bantered online for all to see. The books release has unveiled allegations that Palin, said to be a racist had a short relationship with a black college student, an affair with a business partner of her husbands, and had used drugs. McGinniss achieved overnight success at age 26, with his bestseller ‘The Selling of the President’. The book described the 1968 marketing of Richard Nixon during his presidential campaign. While initially turned down by the Hubert Humphrey campaign, Nixon’s agreed.

Neck (site-specific sculpture)
Year: 2005
Materials: polyurethane, acrylic, glitter flake, feather boas, faux pearls, felt, rope, cardboard
Dimensions: 118 x 54 x 54 inches
Information: For my 1-month residency at BUILD, I presented “Neck”, that I assembled at the gallery site. Combining experimental materials such as glitter-flaked polyurethane, feather boas, and faux pearls I created a large-scale sculpture that evoked the cheap luster associated with child Beauty Pageants, celebrity tabloids, and the tawdry unsolved murder of JonBenet Ramsey. I activated the space with an imposing piece that drew its inspiration from dark source material, but maintained a lighter-than-air opulence that spoke to my interests in extravagant impulses and transmogrified beauty.

🎂 Sara Danius
watercolor ink on paper
”Jag behöver inte städa upp i detta som alla mina föregångare, som råkar vara män, har fått oss att hamna i under ett tjugotal år. Städa upp kan de göra själva.”
Professor Sara Danius started her career as a journalist and writer. In 2015 she was the first woman ever to become the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy. 2018, after a sex scandal within #metoo involving the Swedish Academy, Danius decided to leave her chair. Sara Danius died the year after at the age of 57.

Original Caption: 1/11/44-Paris, France: Picasso leans from the window of his two-story occupation of the city, this studio was headquarters for a group of anti-Nazi poets, writers, critics, musicians as well as artists.
The monsters are closer than you think. That’s right, is Guillermo, Guillermo del Toro we celebrate today.
Now that’s a name like a secret code, isn’t it? Like something carved into a cathedral wall, or whispered by a ghost behind a velvet curtain. Guillermo means ‘William’ in Spanish… and ‘del Toro’? That means ‘of the bull.’ But this ain’t no cowboy story, and he ain’t no matador. He’s a dreamer, a weaver of shadow and gold.
“I come from a culture of arranging. In Mexico, you give us five objects we’ll make an altar. We communicate by arranging all these complex things. To the point where the Baroque (style) was just Baroque enough for Europeans, but when it came to Mexico we made the Baroque of the Baroque, which is Churriguera. Which means, when the Europeans came in with their excesses, we said, ‘It needs more shit.’ That’s me.”
Oh Guillermo I hear you. That’s me too.
He was born in Guadalajara, Mexico. Land of color, land of ghosts, land of saints with bleeding eyes and demons that sleep under your bed. Grew up drawing monsters instead of superheroes, and reading books about things you ain’t supposed to talk about in polite company. He said he met a ghost when he was a boy, and I believe him. Most folks run from monsters. Guillermo runs toward them. Gives them names. Gives them hearts. Says they’re misunderstood. Says the real monsters wear suits, hold power, shake hands while they sharpen knives behind their backs. He made a movie about a vampire in the sewer. Another one about a devil with a cigar and a red right hand. And one about a girl who fell in love with a fish-man and gave him everything she had. Sounds strange, doesn’t it? But love usually is.
They say his house is full of curiosities, (life), sized wax figures, Victorian medical diagrams, old books that smell like sorrow and dust. There’s a room called The Rain Room, where it’s always drizzling. He keeps it for thinking. I knew a guy once who had a thunderstorm in his closet, but that’s another story.
Guillermo’s the kind of guy who makes the ugly beautiful and the scary sacred. He don’t make movies, he makes lullabies for the damned. Gothic fairy tales with teeth. Tells the kind of stories where the princess saves herself or dies trying.
So if you ever find yourself walking down a dark alley and something scuttles across the bricks, don’t be afraid. Could be one of Guillermo’s friends. Could be a story looking for an ending. Or maybe it’s just the city breathing heavy in its sleep.

In February 2006 Craig Tracy opened the PaintedAlive Gallery in his home city, New Orleans, La, USA. PaintedAlive is the first gallery in the world dedicated exclusively to fine art Bodypainted images. But where did his passion for using the human body as a canvas start?

Automotive Rhythms latest project combined our passions for automobiles and the arts. AR's 2016 Kia Sorento SXL 2.0T AWD was also the canvas for artist Jamaal Newman’s creation during the ART-of-Motion (AOM) exhibit in Washington, D.C. aka As ABOVE, So BELOW.
Jamaal was one of the featured visual painters of AOM produced and executed by Automotive Rhythms during the 2016 Washington Auto Show. He painted the Sorento live during the Auto Show in just under 13 hours. Inspired by the South Korean origin of Kia Motors and his research on the Korean War, the artist wanted his creation to symbolically unify North and South Korea. As ABOVE, So BELOW features a lion from Zion on the passenger’s side representing the North while a shark on the South guards the driver’s side. Unification is represented on the hood, meshing the Korean flag with the Yin and Yang badge to signify balance in Korea. Stated Jamaal, “Through my creative vision I wanted to bring equality and unity to Korea.”
