Art Basel: AVAF Labyrinth Wynwood Walls Miami
Commissioned by The Dietch Project NYC for Art Basel Miami 2010. Project management, architectural supervision and art application for part of the 'New Murals Created at Wynwood Walls'..
Ben Jones is the legendary member of Paper Rad and ruler of all things neon and comic. At the center of the exciting art renaissance in Providence, RI and taking his show on the road to make paintings, videos, video paintings, sculpture, design and even an animated TV show, Jones creates a hyper-digital comic tableau of his signature character, "The Narrator."
Dearraindrop is a collective of three artists from Providence who live in Virginia Beach, VA. Their particular swirl of dystopic pop psychedelia will manifest as a tangle of characters in angry orange.
Finally, international art collaborative Assume Vivid Astro Focus (AVAF) are a roving band of collaborators known for executing colorful and composted installations all over the world that incorporate their extensive, and web visual, vocabulary of cultural debris. The AVAF labyrinth, entitled "archaeologist verifies acid flashbacks," is an installation of hundreds of feet of AVAF's signature wallpaper designs tangled into a dizzying labyrinth. A "retrospective" of sorts, these wallpapers span AVAF's 10-plus year career and show the development of their "hybrid" collage style and data-moshing abilities into vibrant digital compositions. Additionally, AVAF will execute a two-layered mural on the exterior of the building that their wallpaper labyrinth occupies. This project is a co-production of Tony Goldman and The Suzanne Geiss Company with support from The Hole and Kingsley Design.
