Propaganda
Published December 8, 2017.
A limited edition broadsheet to capture our evolution from retail to creative studio.
—
A rhizomatic dictatorship always on the verge of either: a coup, incorporation, or collapse. Devaluing systems, de-systemitizing values. Politicizing everything because it always already was.
—
Exultation and exhortation are (our) generational comorbidities. Reminding cultural investors that social capital doesn't pay the rent.
—
Artists whose work is not quite art, but also not not-art. Or maybe we're not artists. Maybe we're just ad hoc aesthetes. Tasteful strivers. Social climbing designers.
—
Commercially ambivalent, culturally fragmented, and aesthetically precise.
—
Weary/wary of vague excellence and ambiguous value.

Didactic
—
Provoking value from intellectually compromised commercialism and fragmented retail aesthetics. Finding new ways to utilize art industry signs and symbols in non-art contexts.

Rupturing passive linearity and its choreography of good intentions. (Whose insidious potential always tilts toward the gospel of gradualism.) Deprioritizing self-righteous catharsis.
—
An art and design studio whose approach draws from commerce and consumerism.
—
Blurring the line between ourselves and our work.
—
Serendipitous realists.
