peres projects is pleased to present the West Coast premiere of Assume
Vivid Astro Focus, a.k.a. Eli Sudbrack with an installation of new works
by the New York based, Brazilian artist.
Sudbrack will present the world premiere of his new Walking on Thin
Ice
(done in collaboration with Brooklyn-based video group Honeygun Labs and
remixed by Action Daddy), based on the song of the same title originally
released by Yoko Ono in 1981 along with a 14 foot floor sticker entitled
Sick Bionic Woman and a new wall paper based on Renaissance era
Unicorn
tapestries like the ones found at the Musée du Moyen Age, Cluny,
Paris.
New photographs, wall drawings, t-shirts, stickers and other recent
works
will also be presented in an installation that is sure to overwhelm all
of
our senses.
By defying more traditional ethical concerns of appropriation and
authorship, Sudbrack revels in the power of the found image and the
computer age futility of copyright, while exploiting the music of our
own
personal nostalgia. His work has been influenced by diverse artistic and
cultural tendencies including unicorn and Bauhaus tapestries, Chinese
and
Japanese designs from kimonos and pottery, Francis Picabia, Tibetan
paintings, coloring books, Peter Max, graffiti, etc. The result is often
a
defiant reclamation of the lost splendor in the banal and a boyish
enthusiasm towards the true beauty in the world around us.
Sudbracks work has recently been seen in important New York venues
for
young artists including White Columns, Apex Art, Daniel Reich, John
Connelly Presents, and Bellwether Gallery which has resulted in reviews
in
the New York Times, Artforum and The New Yorker, among other
publications.
His work has recently been shown at New Yorks New Museum and later
this
year will also be seen at the Centre National d'art et de Culture
Georges
Pompidou in Paris. Sudbrack is a 2002 Rema Hort Mann Foundation Grant
recipient.
