Alien She
Sep 3, 2015 â 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 â70s 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 â90s, with many new chapters forming in recent years. Riot Grrrlâs influence on contemporary global culture is increasingly evident â from the Russian collective Pussy Riotâs 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 â a reflection of the movementâs 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.

Update: As of December 11th, this photo has 2,013 views. Apparently after I put it on my StumbleUpon page (shameless self-promotion) it was passed around a bit....
now it's up to 3,811 and climbing. It's on my Tumblr site now as a welcome to other SU users who moved on.
An invader from the Fourth Dimension, Alien Icarus disguised himself as an ordinary person inside an ordinary house to begin plotting invasion. But he didn't count on being discovered by a housebound little kid.

At the wonderfully named observatory above San Jose, with Greg Laughlin and the exoplanet hunters… on a quest for alien solar systems. We crawled through the telescope’s optical path.
((here are a few scribbles and doodles that I drew / digi-painted.. until I actually get round to taking decent photos! Intermission!!))
Girraffe Alien :D

I thought I'd make more Alien-looking landscapes.
You can use it as a texture also. Free. ~ Attribution ~
Please credit and leave a sample (small size) of your work if you use this as a texture. Thank you.
A combination of sunset and night shots including an alien abduction. Taken from Mount Dandenong looking over Melbourne's eastern suburbs.
An alien from "Alien." What was most amazing to me was how fast he was able to move dressed like that!
Battery in this sucker was bleeding as much acid as a real Xenomorph. Ate the connectors clear off. Would of been cool to of seen the clock working.
don't worry! it's only my Swatch :o)
I was playing with my watch when I realised that seen from a side view the watch looks like a little alien/robot face :o)

Sculpt update on the Alien Warrior - 1:18 scale - ALIENS 86. Completed the small scaled head sculpt of the Alien Warrior. The first attempt had the head too wide, the second was too short in length....the third though is just right smile emoticon The lower jaw is a borrowed cast from my ALIEN79 beastie. I plan to create some variants similar to the 79 version. Now - back to sculpting the upper torso and plenty of head sculpts that need to be painted. ‪#‎aliens‬ ‪#‎alien‬ ‪#‎warrior‬ ‪#‎queen‬ ‪#‎hive‬ ‪#‎sculpture‬ ‪#‎art‬ ‪#‎monsterinthebasement‬

Back with Alien session.
The bubble was there no PS. I swear we did a lot of effort to make this picture :)
....
Time is gonna take my mind
and carry it far away where I can fly...
No, I won't step back but I'll look down to hide from your eyes
'cause what I feel is so sweet and I'm scared that even my own breath
Oh could burst it if it were a bubble
And I'd better dream if I have to struggle
So I put my arms around you around you
And I hope that I will do no wrong
My eyes are on you they're on you
And I hope that you won't hurt me
I'm dancing in the room as if I was in the woods with you
No need for anything but music
Music's the reason why I know time still exists
Time still exists

'Life-saving amputation' is a legitimate surgical term, but a friend once invented its extreme version: 'life-saving decapitation'. This is what they seem to do to trees in early spring, an ugly operation (for a while) to provide for new life just weeks later. This scene looked truly surreal and form a different planet...
