Disorder Disorder
Ulterior Motives in Contemporary Art
14 August – 14 November
Penrith Regional Gallery
For the exhibit “Disorder, Disorder”, I was commissioned to create part 2 of my ongoing series “Trapped and Frozen Forever.” This piece, entitled “Persistence of Visions of Faces of Death” places an HD-video next to a collage of the same size:
6 collages of the same size were created which when played frame after frame as video create a crude animation:
This piece was shown in a room along with recent single-channel videos including “Booty Melt”, “Peace Tape”, and “Untitled Super 8s” (with Shana Moulton). A still from “Persistence . . . ” was also on the cover of the catalogue. More information on the exhibit is below:
Disorder Disorder presents a range of new and existing works from artists generally seen as ‘outsiders’, ‘independents’ or ‘dissidents’. Working with a fierce DIY direction, and often with little formal or academic training, the artists come from areas of urban street culture including graffiti, commercial art, skateboarding, tattooing, surfing, punk rock, hip-hop, heavy metal, computer programming and gang-life – speaking to their peers in their own language rather than the art world. This is the ‘art’ of the disengaged, suspicious and justifiably cynical which creates a remarkably fresh approach to visual arts not created simply to please the existing art audience.
The exhibition features work from 10 renegade Australian artists, 6 artists from the USA, Stefan Marx from Germany, French and Marcus Oakley from the UK and Tomoo Gokita from Japan.
