DEATH WARMED OVER

Feature, Fresthetic Galerîa | No comments

Works by: CHRIS (RWK) • VENG • CAKE • LUNA PARK • BECKI FULLER

On Friday, June 25th, death will come knocking on the door of Williamsburg’s Fresthetic, with the opening of Cake, Chris RWK, Veng, Luna Park, and Becki Fuller’s show “Death Warmed Over”. Through their paintings and photography, each artist has embarked on an exploration into the many nuances to be found in the meaning of “death” and have incorporated their unique interpretations into their art. For some, death is found in the decay & destruction what was once fresh and new or in the struggles with the demons that plague and sometimes consume us. For others it can be found in cultural practices, such as the festivities of Halloween, the spiritual relationship between the Native American warrior and their prey, or taking a closer look at life in Mexico, a country who’s intimacy with death permeates their culture.

The show runs from June 25th – July 30th, with an opening reception on Friday, June 25th from 7-10pm. There will be an art scavenger hunt, live painting in the back yard, and while we may be morbid, we aren’t cheap, so the drinks are on us! So, come shake your bones to the musical styling’s of our favorite DJ Royce Bannon and have a time so good that it will haunt your memory for years to come!

Robots Will Kill is an arts collective site dedicated to the community and exposure for artists/media often disregarded by the mainstream art world.

Set in motion in 2001, RWK is the brain-child of Chris. Rather than featuring his own work exclusively, he opened it up to allow the possibility for it to become whatever it evolved into being. At the time that this is being written, the site is showing work of over 8000 artists from around the world.

With the surge of incredible art from practically all mediums coming in- the responsibilities for the various aspects of the site have been delegated to people who were involved from the very beginning. To this day RWK (Chris, kev/psyn and Veng) is hard at work recruiting Artists for the site, participating in shows and collaborative works, making sure your order gets out as quickly as robotically possible, always thinking of new ways to help the site and the project stay fresh in the face of exhaustion and complacency.

As the site enters into it’s ninth year, we have nothing but gratitude for the people that have helped make this all possible, our friends and families, the graff/street-art and outsider-art communities, and especially the people that keep visiting the site.
