Space Ace 7 revealed – Slobot vs. Jouwe for TAG Art Show October 2, 2010

Meet Space Ace 7 – my entry into the Jouwe custom show at TAG Gallery in LA on October 2, 2010. 

“The Space Ace 7 is a heavy lifting, space travelling slobot. He spends long hours with his space friends building and repairing spaceships. Many hours under ultraviolet radiation have left his metal skin with a slight glow.”

Oh yeah, he has an LED mounted in his head, making his eyes glow bright blue.

did i mention that he is glow in the dark and black light reactive?  see pics below.

thanks for checking out my Space Ace 7.  the show opens October 2 at TAG Gallery in LA

slobot robotic philosophers?

Hey All! Just wanted to let everyone know that I have a show opening tonight (june 12, 2009) in Wilmington, NC at the Local Gallery at Fast Frame of Wilmington (http://fastframeofwilmington.com). The opening is from 5p-7:30pm and the show runs for a month. I have about a dozen slobots in the show, including these brand new slobot Philosophers. They are 100% slobot, found objects, etc and each stands about 20” tall. They form a Triptych, and their story goes like this: “Three Philosophers standing in a room, waxing philosophical on ethics, aesthetics, and various other thought provoking topics. These three philosophers love to discuss the ins and outs of the most complex and innane subjects equally. While lacking vocal instruments, they still manage to share their ideas both grand and verbose, by communicating telepathically with each other and everyone else as well. If you find yourself suddenly full of more thoughts than you can keep track of, there is probably a slobot Philosopher in the room." Contrary to popular belief, not all robots are bent on global domination, the slobots are friendly and just want to help.

rik allen and his great glass rocketships.

i found Rik's work somewhere on the internet that escapes me at the moment. at any rate, this is wonderful work. the blown glass shapes that serve as the canopies of space ships and internal parts of these ships are really amazing. In Rik's own words - "The futuristic antiquity of this series was inspired by my life-long fascination with the design of technology – especially the purposefully “futuristic” technology of the mid-20th Century." edit: i realized that the place of origin that i found out about Rik's art is: electroartworks.com See more for yourself at: Rik Allen

Mars-1, trippy, psychedelic goodness

i am feeling inspired by the post over at toysrevil about the upcoming Mars-1 show "Nuclear Mystic" at Johnathan Levine in NYC - i decided to browse through some of my favorite works of Mars' from the past... so without ado...
