JASON RHOADES

Born 1965 in Newcastle, California, USA.
Died 2006 in Los Angeles, California, USA.

During his all too brief career, Jason Rhoades achieved international notoriety for immense, genre-defying sculptural environments which have been described as 'testosterone-driven' and 'sort of obnoxious-impish-dissonant-sublime'. In his complex and rampageous installations, Rhoades probed the role of the artist, the purpose of art and the sources of creativity.

"The Creation Myth is about how one creates, how one sees creation, how one sees the act of creation... It’s basically about how we see things in the world. We put them into the brain and then we file them and then they break up and get filed in different parts of the brain, and different things get stuck in different areas.'

em um genupido momento preguiça de ler, adorei a figurinha: excelente acoplamento de cacarecos coloridos.
