“The Fat Monkey is a site specific work which was created out of the question from the Pixelshow to make a sculpture during their conference in 2010. Made with the help of local students and made from the brazilian icon; the flip flop which obviously works as one of the 10.000 pixels. The fat monkey is a work in the series Obeastitas.”

Erwin Wurm‘s new exhibition: Gulp. On view at Lehmann Maupin‘s gallery in News York:
“In gulp Wurm introduces the theme of the social envelope – clothing, food, furniture, cars, houses – in order to annotate the fragility of both the individual and collective identity behind it. Wurm uses these items as personifications of a social context through which individuals attempt to express themselves all the while being formed and deformed by it. In works such as Telekinetischer Masturbator, a sculpture of a man without arms, wearing a real shirt, and Me Under LSD, a single extended hand supporting a large cloud-like structure, Wurm translates psychological and mental realities into physical realities. The layers in which Wurm surrounds the body, both metaphorically and literally, the extensive fattening-up or thinning-down of people and things, are, like his softened architecture, sculptural metaphors for an existential insecurity about the boundaries of oneself.”

Jason Freeny is working on an upcoming exhibition named “Love Moment” and this is one of the pieces he will show. A Teddy Bear Fetus:
“I thought to myself, what describes “love movement” more then “makin’ babies”? well nothing. So for this piece that i will be titling “Egg & Incubator” im going to fashion our little bear friend into a bear shaped egg, then im going to sculpt a small fetal bear baby inside our robot incubator. The bear brings life and the robot provides. Kinda like life you think?”
