WONDERPUFF OCTOPUFF: AD PROJECTS presents RELIQUARY: WONDERPUSS OCTOPUS SOLO SHOW

On 11 May 2011, AD Projects will open RELIQUARY, an exhibition of works by WONDERPUSS OCTOPUS, at 200 Ave A, New York, NY.

With these new works, WONDERPUSS OCTOPUS (aka PJ Linden) has developed a 3D paint 'crystallization' process that engulfs all modern consumer goods in it's path, covering everything from toy guns to adult accessories, turning the mass produced into supernatural 'relics'.

Like technicolor algae, the viral textures seem to be alive with microorganisms. The works represent an alternate reality in the future: where bio-plastics quickly evolve into life forms, spreading like fungus, mutating the industrialized world. Sci-fi visions aside, these works transmute the man-made, ultra-smooth object into a barbed, primal experience. The show questions that which is 'sacred' to our culture by transforming base materials, or 'luxury items' into future artifacts.

'The term sacred refers to a sense of our respect and reverence for the larger systems and energies that govern our lives.'

Show features: "Petroleum Bubble Sunsets" on Everybody High (a pair of high-end sneakers for the apparel company, Alife, covered in barnacle-like spikes of 3D paint), "Molecular Heart of Restrained Gold" (a toy gun attached to a headband, 3D paint, is fully wearable), and "Geode" (a 3D paint and acrylic painting of the famous Chinese delicacy known as a Century egg, which is being infiltrated/encircled by rotating birth-control pill packages).
