The Joshua Liner Gallery brings the big guns to PULSE Los Angeles with the best of macabre contemporary Baroque – American artist Kris Kuksi’s new necro-anachronistic, Medieval-Futuristic sculptures. Technically, they’re “mixed media assemblages,” but that’s not very descriptive for something this epic.
Squint for details into his newest piece The Evidence of Tyranny, from the tortured bust of Washington flanked by guns to all the intricate little details of a warbled limb façade, all going back to his pet themes: Capitalism, Greed and Violence. Kris Kuksi at Joshua Liner in PULSE, Sep 30 – Oct 3, Los Angeles
This guy is a genius. These must be seen in person…they are totally mind blowing.
Fucking beautiful.
Evidence from the most recent citizenship survey suggests that it isn't. Faith in society, and the urge to give back to it, animates lots of British people who would have no time for God. The same is, or used to be, true in Scandinavia, where there was a huge amount of voluntary engagement alongside and within a comprehensive state apparatus. But was that merely a hangover from religious habits? What kinds of belief and commitment are needed to get people involved in active citizenship?
Cool story bro.
