NEW IN PLASTIC SLEEVE

Faux AiR

Holly Childs responds to her time in the Chrysalisseum AiR with the design of a fake-Nike themed body of work, examining the nature of authenticity and knock-off merchandising and its associations with sporting and rave culture.

Getting the swoosh just right (Just Do It)

A colorway that either has- or will- come out #havefaith
Crazy whole other trip over in @Europe
(says the kid selling hats on the corner Degraves + Flinders Lane)
How much would it cost me for you to agree to get:
'Just Do It' tattooed on your chest
Just before your Graduation/Formal/DebBall? Or the big rave
Would you let me shave a tick into your dog's fur? For $10?
Yr friend has Nike pills or Adidas trips (the old logo), which will you take?
If Nike + Eros sitting in a tree
Would all wars have turned empty?
Q. + tell me why would my Retro 6s squeak when I bounce?
A. Because I got them from a guy named 'Shady' from off an internet street corner NYC
Not "Stunting"
Just "Hoodwinked"

METAVERSE MAKEOVERS_ 1st REVEAL @ FUR + The Chrysalisseum

Applying, revealing, and reflecting the infinite. A make-over evolution.

METAVERSE MAKEOVERS is a series of live performance installations integrating the latest in live-video processing and augmented reality enhanced projections. Three works will be presented site-specifically in the hyper-colour environments of beauty salons, saunas, and nail parlours across 2011.

3d Filmed and cinematographic assets undertaken across the physical site-specific venues feeds into the development of an online game, and downloadable AR couture line.

METAVERSE MAKEOVERS places contemporary perspectives on beauty, the art of maquillage, and mediated forms of embodiment under a seductive lens.

Launching AiR: Ladies of Leisure

The Chrysalisseum launches its first Artist-in-Residence, with Imagination Suprnation (IS) living 'la vie domestique' and developing work in-situ informed by the AIR thematic Ladies of Leisure.


☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

IS' residency at The Chrysalisseum explores the genre of the blue movie as a format
for presenting performative work.

IS will investigate through a process of research and development the erotic and the role of the body in art history (historical and contemporary) and the blurred line between art and pornography.

IS is also interested in the how current scientific frontiers of genetic engineering, artificial intelligence and nanotechnology effect our understanding of the body, and how this then translates into the cultural expression of pornography.

The IS residency interfaces with the Chrysalisseum AiR theme of ‘Ladies of Leisure’ in various ways. Firstly, it takes the activities relegated to the ‘boudoir’ and transfers them to other zones of the domestic interior. Secondly, it uses the concept of the ‘domestic’ to reveal a site of female and ‘other’ empowerment through sexuality and sexual activity. Thirdly, in its fantasy and hyperbole (further heightened by the pornographic medium) it references the experimental lifestyles and erotic proclivities of artistocratic and regal women of history, such as Catherine the Great.

THE HOLY TRINITY

The Holy Trinity 'Warriors of the love Ministry' at The Chrysalisseum from Alicia king on Vimeo.

The Holy Trinity is a collaborative team comprised of the fictional alter egos of artists Alicia King, Mish Meijers and Tricky Walsh. Holy inhabitation of The Chrysalisseum follows on from the Genesis 1200cc Mary at CAST Gallery, to showcase the second coming of the Holy Trinity Galexia series, initiating atmospheric conduits and neo-disciples into the cult. The Holy Trinity channels psychic manifestations of trail blazing faith-guilt and chaos through experiential installation. THT engages cross-media materials to construct spaces exploring bodily metamorphosis and gender fluidity within hallucinatronic-fetishistic adolescent escapisms. Concentrating conceptual thematics around popular culture, social development and belief systems, THT conjures specific and disordered perspectives exploiting the sanctity of naive faiths.

I am interested in the use of every day painting materials, such as spray and enamels, using unconventional tools, pouring and scraping, and varying the speed in which paint is applied. I want the viewer to be able to see underneath the finished surface, to reveal the construction of the painting. I aim for the paintings to reflect the speed of contemporary life (Dave Hickey in Optic Nerve 2007 discusses the possibility of a "coherent, operative mental system of knowing, thinking responding and making judgements that exists outside of our own conscious awareness" and the implications this has for visual, abstract, communication); the over saturation of images, colours and textures we are familiar with through the internet, advertising, television, cinema and music. I want the work to be fast paced; made fast, observed fast, taking on aspects of the many lived, experiential and temporal resources abundant to us.
