5 body implication Artists.

Matthew Barney : American artist, works mostly in sculpture and short film as his medium, between 1994 and 2002 he created a series of short films called the cremaster cycle, considered one of the best avant-garde films of all time. Barney is from BOISE IDAHO, rep. rep! He caught national attention for his idea of drawing constraints and drawing in weird places like jumping on a tramp, drawing up on stilts, silly stuff like that, pretty sick idea but not a lot of quality art to show, the finished product isnt much and that disappoints me because for ME its about the journey but more importantly the destination, i really enjoy the finished, physical product of your tedious labor.. this dude is friggin nuts man.

“I am a lonely runner, but I am a long-distance runner.” as said by Louise Bourgeois, this quote really stood out to me, i think i could be surrounded by ten of my closest friends and still find a way to feel lonely so the way i interpret that is meaningful to me. Louise was a french-american artist specializing in spider scupltures earning her the nick name spider woman, she also started making sculputres of betrayal, fucked up house holds, anxiety, loneliness,  forced intimacy, etc..  ha yes many know the feelings. Many of these feelings were said to come from a traumatizing situation as a child where she found out her English teacher was also his fathers mistress... tiga tigga woods yall! Sorry but all of our parents do messed up shit, get used to it.  And the spider above is one of my most favorite things EVER!

Oh man o man sorry my dear blog, i have been freakin homeless for the past minute and during mid terms week, what a bitch. sorry i have neglected you but thats how its gotta be. Anyways, inspiration wise... i ran into an old friends down town last Saturday and he was wearing a hat he had colored all over, really bad ass. i wanna do something similar so i might go hunt down a white hat. I also think i will be starting a new painting that's really psychedelic and vivid in lue of a crazy night at the red room. atleast things are slowly coming back together after some several unfortunate events.

Yesterday we went to the lookout room to check out the brown paper bag test exhibit by Francoise Duresse and this was much more interesting that the curator previously. Her stories were really interesting and shocking, and her work was of very unique style. I liked how she talked about ripping the canvas and then covering it with a thick clear gloss as if to heal the wounds like her wounds have healed.  im really interested in her screen print method and how she did that it was a really cool print. the short film she showed called you are so smart was pretty weird i didn't really get it besides she was telling me i was so smart. hmm if u say so! hah she might have been talking to her self.. Over  ggsshh

So was it just me or was the curator talking about judais art talking like a curator? that was the dryest, hardest to follow lecture ever. i felt like that was a commercial. The content wasnt bad it was just that guy, man o man, please never again. I need to get some work done on these pads ive kind of been blowing this last part off im kind of worried that the pads wont stay bent but i took em off so i guess we will see. The gallery was just OK though, i was disapointed, i didnt like her little gadgets and stuff, i thought the glass candle in wood inlay was really really cool how ever i thought it would have been nice to see them light up tho!

Konbit Shelter: Super Adobe Dome Construction in Braddock PA from Sucka Pants on Vimeo.

Wewt...it worked! okay so video time, ive been reading juxtapoz mag. after my recent inspiration by alex pardee, this magazine is bad ass. Right now ill be talkin about the konbit shelter project to help rebuild haiti. Headed up by street artist swoon, they are creating some siick houses for haitians to live in. the design and form of the little huts are cute but full of character, using local and reusable materials, primarily mud and plaster, this 'city scape' of huts they are working to create is totally environmentally friends and environmentally aware of the looming threats of future forces of nature.  DIRTY.

Victor Reyes killin it, type work and painting on this arch cover  6 color serigraph.. how do u even screen print like that and how come we dont do any of that shit? this ice cream unicorn orgy he calls uncommon objects..this cats gunna be the next artist tho so you'll see him soon. PEACE!

Alex Pardee

Alex Pardee is an artist from cali who specializes in apparel design and album works mostly, all his works are super detailed and super dark as you will later see. Working in various mediums he primarily uses pen, paint and it appears occasionally illustrator or something else.  He is also a writer and blogger, you can follow his blog at http://eyesuckink.blogspot.com/ His art to me is just very dark and strange, i love it, i feel like you would have to be some what of a warped individual to produce art like this. His strong focus on the obscene and shocking, the disgusting, the violent, and his use of blood in some pieces, its there for a reason and i think that in many of his pieces he wants that meaning to stay some what of a mystery and open for your own interpretation. but thats just my take on it, im gunna attach some more sick photos and let you check him out. 

the used album cover he just did

alos check out justapoz magazine!   peace outt

this week for the transformation project i am going to take old thrown out hard back books and craft a pair of football shoulder pads touching on what our education is REALLY about to the school. now just to figure out how to cut the book covers and get this project rollin. over this weekend i found a silk screen set up and went a head and made my self a print for a t shirt for the upcoming game, it read, i <3 pounding beavers. that was about the high light of artistic abilities this weekend. Ill post more when i figure out how ill cut these books i guess.
