FriendsWithYou is the fine art collaborative of Samuel Borkson and Arturo Sandoval III, working collectively since 2002 with the sole purpose of spreading the positive message of Magic, Luck, and Friendship™. Known for immersive installations and interactive artworks, FriendsWithYou invites viewers of their work to reconnect with and reinterpret their lives through communal experiences. The artists work in a variety of mediums including painting, sculpture, large-scale experiential installations, live performances, and more recently, virtual reality and animation. Incorporating the healing arts, modern rituals, animism, and unified symbols, their works are meant to prompt a wide spectrum of untapped emotions, from playfulness to self-reflection, enabling both personal and shared experiences. FriendsWithYou’s mission is to cultivate moments of spiritual awareness and powerful, joyous interactions.

 

Forging their own brand of post-pop visual language a la Takashi Murakami, Arturo Herrera and Yayoi Kusama, FriendsWithYou takes a spiritual and serene approach to form and figure. Their reductive and simplified use of geometric abstraction always contains a whimsical touch. Taking Nicolas Bourriaud’s Relational Aesthetics to heart and hand, the artists make art of the Post-Internet era. Alongside the body of works of Murakami, Jeff Koons, and Damien Hirst, FriendsWithYou is a new breed of artist, actively generating culture beyond the traditional art boundaries and reshaping the current contemporary art scene. By blurring the dividing line between perceived “high” and low” art, as explained in Murakami’s Superflat essay, FriendsWithYou utilizes other mediums like design and limited edition products from a fine art perspective. Their most important artistic tactic to foster these interpersonal relationships is the use of play. By reinterpreting religious traditions, symbols, and spiritual practices, FriendsWithYou inverts solemn and serious ideas through the act of play to open up a connection to the divine. Many FriendsWithYou works reference toys because they are meant for play, a tool for unstructured free association and interaction. Their sculptures and paintings, inflatables, and objects are meant to trigger the buried, neglected urges and yearnings that a seasoned art viewer may not expect to have activated; playfulness, laughter and inquisitiveness, with an end result of feeling connected. Influenced by the simple happiness found in everyday life, FriendsWithYou’s work is designed to be accessible to all.

 

Throughout the last fourteen years, FriendsWithYou has gained international recognition as pioneers in the field of experiential art. FriendsWithYou installations are fully immersive experiences that draw audiences into a magical world where the line between imagination and reality is blurred. What started as hand-sewn toy sculptures have grown into much larger than life projects and national and international exhibitions. FriendsWithYou’s work has been exhibited at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo; Art Basel in Miami Beach; Dallas Contemporary; Galerie Perrotin, Miami; Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin; The High Line, New York; The Indianapolis Museum of Art; Marine Projects, Los Angeles; Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara; Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles, and most recently at the Oakland Museum of California.

 

FriendsWithYou works are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, The Goldman Family Collection, Montblanc Collection, amongst others.

 

FriendsWithYou released their Rizzoli published monograph We Are FriendsWIthYou in May 2014. The book spans their career thus far, and features contributions by musician, producer and longtime collaborator Pharrell Williams; director, filmmaker, and spiritual guru Alejandro Jodorowsky; and Dallas Contemporary executive director Peter Dorshenko.

 

FriendsWithYou actively works to spread the message of connectivity around the world, with a simple mission to become Friends-With-You.

Thanks to LEGO_MOCkingJ (www.flickr.com/photos/132949993@N06/) for the hints which considerably improved the design.

 

1/35 scale.

 

Since there's that great minifig now there had to be the car, too. The main goal here was to get a superflat sports car that does the fig justice - which means that it should be considerably lower.

 

Due to the "discrimination" regarding size (minifig women in dresses are one plate taller than men, see www.flickr.com/photos/er0l/26823827544/) my male minifigs are allowed to wear platform soles which make them one layer taller - which furthermore improves the ratio between figs and vehicles. All this results in the fig being 3 layers taller (14 layers) than the car (11 layers) - one whole brick. On the other hand the fig doesn't fit into the car.

 

Another feature is the enlightened scanner (PF LED) which doesn't move, of course. Regarding the body one major feature is the slight wedge form of the sides.

 

Wheels are spinning. The rear canopy is an inlay.

 

100% Lego. Thanks for looking!

My first morning down Bondi Beach in 5 weeks and it was supercold - I cannot remember the last time that my hands were cold in Australia - this morning they were and the water was superflat. However this doggie was oblivious to all that and his whole world was that ball and its movement and he just stared at it willing it to move.

Skulptur von Takashi Murakami aus dem Jahr 2011.

Die ca. 3 m hohe Skulptur zeigt eine überlebensgroße weibliche Anime-/Manga-Figur, die auf den japanischen Otaku-Kulturkreis und die Ästhetik der "Superflat"-Bewegung, die Murakami mitbegründet hat, Bezug nimmt.

Sie ist eine Auseinandersetzung mit der Darstellung von Sexualität und Macht in der modernen japanischen Popkultur, insbesondere der sogenannten "mother complex" Thematik in Manga und Anime, wo überdimensionale, dominante weibliche Figuren im Mittelpunkt stehen.

First try at Vectoring. Didn't turn out too bad right?

This evening the comet was near the second magnitude star Hamal (α Aries), which made for a nice juxtaposition.

This artist was astute enough to include a kitten in his painting.

Or is it a lion?...;-)

九O年代末展開的超扁平(Superflat)運動,在村上隆一手主導之下,巧妙結合大眾藝術與流行文化,独立開創了自己的流派。過去在囯際藝術界普遍缺席,被認為是美式文化贗品的日本當代藝術,如今在藝拍上反而成了救世主,成交紀錄屢攀新高,儼然暴走的酷斯拉。長期關注區域全球化現象,曾獲得日本囯際交流基金會獎金的評論家Adrian Favell,觀察到九O年代初的泡沫經濟崩盤,讓日本社會再度落入二戰後的信心危機,現實的幻滅造就了人們往二次元世界遁逃的契機,原本被視為次文化的動漫反而風生水起,變成”酷”日本的最主要輸出品。「Before and After Superflat」是少數完整,收集歸納此一藝術運動的重要書著,封面特意捨棄了位居超扁平中心的村上隆與奈良美智,選擇了更激進的会田誠做為代表。
