FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 23, 2011
FORT WORTH, Texas - brand 10 artspace is pleased to announce ON WHEELS, which opens April 8 and runs through May 21, 2011. The exhibition features artists investigating the fascination with car culture so prevalent today. brand 10 artspace founders were inspired by a visit to a lowrider car show many years ago and have brought together work that responds to the dominance of the automobile in a variety of ways.
ON WHEELS brings together works by Heagan Bayles, Libby Black, Matthew Cusick, Ryan Humphrey, Masaru Tatsuki, Matthew Porter, Chris Powell and Justin Shull. Each work in the exhibition relates to the notion of movement and mobility, but the pieces diverge with each artist drawing from a certain sub group of contemporary culture - whether the work relates to BMX bikes, skateboards and camping/rv references (Humphrey); documents extreme embellishments of Japanese trucks known as decotora (Masura); uses cultural icons of desire such as haute couture labels (Black); or fine automobiles (Bayles); presents a collection of cinematic images(Cusick); dangerous momentum frozen in the time (Porter); is inspired by the pace of the natural world with distilled forms (Powell); or references the “green movement” with natural disguise (Shull).
