Today’s Obsession: Adrian + Shane

2011-01-11T15:31:00.001Z

Print magazine just published this great article about Adrian+Shane:

"I am completely bananas over Adrian + Shane’s art right now. I ran across them last year, maybe middle of the summer, and since then they’ve put out a flood of angry, funny work. They’re a couple of artists working as one entity since 1998—a phenomenal achievement in and of itself. Working with another artist for any amount of time is a complete bitch; doing it for over a decade shows an understanding and devotion many people simply can’t pull forth.

Their work strikes me as sort of a more modern look at the ideas we got from Gilbert and George, Andy Warhol, Barbara Kruger, Tibor Kalman. The sense of propaganda is there, so’s the pop repetition and instant art, but there’s more punk to it. More spray paint, more Xerox, a little more like the work that came out of Act Up! In the late eighties and early nineties.

There’s a sense of belonging to the present, a deep connection to pop objects like Barbie, Madonna, and their own image. The thing I think is notable about their work that I didn’t see in older pop art is the ability to immediately perceive of these icons as a part of their own personal vocabulary. There’s never a sense of exploring something they’ve never seen before—more like upending a crate of Barbies and having a bitchy little fight with all their toys. It’s pretty magnificent stuff.

Image from their blog, and their Flickr stream".

For The Love Of God (group show)

2009-07-01T23:40:00.000+01:00

Art & Design Exhibition, Opening on 2nd July @ 7pm

Mill Street Studios, Mill Street, Dublin 8

Running dates:
2nd – 16th July 2009

Opening Times:
Weekdays: 12-3pm and 6-8pm // Weekends: 12-6pm

“For The Love Of God” asked creatives from all over Ireland to respond to the brief interpreting “God” in whatever way they saw fit. The responses to this often controversial and ambiguous topic have been as varied and contrasting as would be expected. The pieces range from the literal to the abstract and often the idiosyncratic. It makes for an ecclectic and intriguing body of work that is not to be missed.

“For The Love Of God” will be officially opened by 2009 Institute of Creative Advertising and Design (ICAD) President and creative director extraordinaire David Joyce on 2nd July at 7pm at the Mill Street Studios,
Mill Street, Dublin 8.

This exhibition features a piece by Adrian + Shane

There will be live music from Ruairí Lynch plus complimentary drinks on the night.

2009-06-28T23:05:00.002+01:00

Adrian + Shane's award winning short film '42 Rotations' is now available to view online for the first time.

"Filmed at the Astoria (G-A-Y) in London on November 19th 2005 using a Canon IXUS 50 digital camera. It was originally meant to take a photograph but the camera was on the wrong setting and recorded a (one second long) accidental film instead! We then used that second of video footage, repeating the same clip over and over 42 times. The color changes with each repetition. We used the original sound, you don't hear any music, just a loud violent noise."

2009-01-21T22:08:00.001Z

Free Art Friday is a relatively new art movement that’s rapidly gaining in popularity around the World. Artists create a painting, sketch, sculpture or installation and leave it on the street. The piece can then be picked up by anyone and claim it as their own. Finders are encouraged to email the artist and tell them how and where they found it. Painters, photographers, illustrators, sculptures, graffiti artists, taggers, cartoonists (or any visual artist) were invited to contribute a small piece of work that will be hung/placed/or left on the streets of Dublin on Friday 23rd January for anyone to take away.
