Katelyn’s work has a lot in common with traditional fairytales. They deal with archetypes and involve traditional roles of the good, the bad and the kind helper. These memories of make believe have animals, people and monsters as characters. Strange and magical things happen in these tales; animals speak, trees walk and humans fly. Like in traditional tales these have some shocking and gruesome elements.
“Brother” Mitch Myers was born and raised in the city of Bloomington, he has known no other home except for the one where his heart is. “I really like animals and good music”, he says. This is his last semester as a BFA candidate. When he graduates in the fall he plans to move to Portland, Oregon where he will obtain his pilot’s license and fly hot air balloons while working at a used bookstore on the side to cover the steep cost of his flying lessons.
See this work live and in person on the north west corner of 6th and Walnut St! If you want, tag us on facebook at Your Art Here when you see it.
There is nothing here about saving children from bleating bombs in religious lands, or even about quote unquote natives screaming at quote unquote illegals to stop taking away veterans benefits. There is nothing here to show disdain for high capacity automatic weaponry being carried into fast-food restaurants scaring the souls of parents needing to explain to their children 2nd amendment rights written 200+ years ago. This is a political statement about political positioning – the positioning of power and privilege — privileged way too much to truly know discomfort and discrimination. Thus and hereby, are the effects of such a position:
This work is disrupting a moment. In direct contact and in the midst of global woes, they seize a time to raise questions beckoning to be answered against that which makes them seem utterly frivolous in comparison. It appears as a distraction; yet, there is an unmeasurable, indirect justice for this object to enter your space and begin making efforts of change. It is part of an unconscious collective made concrete and now exposed, shared and given, injected at times without notice or desire. Its potential will unknowingly arise in others somehow somewhere, to help instigate eventual rise-ups and walk-outs in response to perpetual shut-ups and sit-downs.
