A continuation of the artist’s desire to incorporate craft and folk culture into urban art, this body of work is characterized by vibrant colors and complex patterns that slash across the surfaces they cover, from paper to public walls. It plays with the conventions of traditional color theory in the way pure pigment and decorative markings are fashioned in electric geometric arrangements. The mesmerizing designs are a contemporary nod to the practice of trompe l’oeil; though the configurations appear to be collaged wallpaper, the ornamental lace motifs are in fact painted to give the flat surface a sense of depth and history. Hellbent got his start wheatpasting confrontational slogans such as “We Live in an Economic Totalitarian State” around Athens, Georgia. When he moved to New York in 2000 he ventured further into street-based art, and in 2005 he adopted the name Hellbent from Richard Hell, the influential instigator of punk in the 1970s. In addition to wheatpaste, Hellbent experimented with rollers, cans, and adhesives, but soon settled on making hand carved wood plaques. He depicted predatory animals and jawbones in front of delicate floral stencils, imagery intended to counter the machismo typically associated with graffiti. The Mix Tape series evolved from these plaques; by weaving together the tape used to designate the strips of color when spraying, the artist shifted his attention to the backgrounds as they eclipsed the central figures and became elaborate abstract fields.

Art Cart NYC™ and Etta Place are proud to announce Truck Yeah: A Mobile Meet Up, to take place on October 2, 2011 from 12-6pm at The Crown Victoria Bar at 60. S. 2nd Street in Williamsburg. For the first annual Mobile Meet Up, a group of eleven trucks, each representing a different player in the rapidly growing “mobile culture” of New York City—from gourmet food, to fine art, music, design, and fashion—will convene in Brooklyn to celebrate the increased mobility and changing landscape of New York City. Envisioning the urban center as an ever-changing backdrop, mobile culture provides the public with accessible outlets to everything from diverse cuisines to cultural events that can be sought out or simply stumbled upon. These roaming vehicles move and evolve as fast as the city they serve. Overall, mobile units enable entrepreneurs to take risks, thereby creating a more energetic and colorful metropolis. Art Cart NYC™’s third exhibition will present the work of Amia Yokoyama and Kennedy Yanko. Yokoyama will transform the truck into a cave-like environment and induce altered states of awareness through the use of light and sound. Employing digital frequency modulation, algorithms, and light projections, she will channel the sacred nature of prehistoric caves in a contemporary iteration. Yanko will stage her paroxysm paint sculptures inside and around the truck. These poured pieces are boundless outbursts of vibrant pigments, which form eerie, intoxicating, surreal sculptures that are malleable to their surroundings. For its inaugural exhibition, Etta Place will present Resident Artists, a salon style exhibition of works by local artists, including paintings by Malado Baldwin and Heather Morgan, works on paper by Alison Mazur, jewelry by Emily Miranda, wallpaper by Flat Vernacular and other curiosities. In addition, El Camino ARTRV will showcase REACTION SERVICES, a mock trucking company created by Stephen Zerbe, and Gawker Artists will present photographer Adam Courtney’s Box Project, for which he will invite the public to pose for portraits in a constructed set. BangOn! NYC will play music and Lonely Goat Dance Company will perform throughout the day. Art Cart NYC™ is a mobile exhibition space that motivates people to think imaginatively about exhibiting and experiencing art. Building on the movement of art in alternative spaces, Art Cart NYC™ works with young artists, performers, and curators to organize dynamic public events in which exhibitions and performances are staged around the parameters of a truck.

Art Cart NYC™'s creative happenings offer the public a unique urban experience that is approachable, engaging, and socially valuable. Story Since 2008, food and beverage trucks have become a familiar fixture in the New York City landscape. These street vendors come in all varieties, from classic falafel and nuts stands, to the East Village Mud Coffee Truck, and more recently, specialized carts serving everything from dumplings, to waffles, dessert, and organic ice cream. In tough economic times, another trend that has taken hold in the city is the DIY gallery or alternative art space. Many artists and startups have located abandoned or unusual spaces throughout the city and are set up shop. What a fantastic way not only to transform the physical buildings, but also to boost the morale of the neighborhoods. Enter Art Cart NYC™ This project is built upon these food-cart craze and pop-up galleries that have taken hold in New York City. In an attempt to eliminate the stigma associated with the trek to Chelsea or Museum Mile, the Art Cart will serve as a mobile gallery, a truck that brings art directly to the people.

Most objects consumed in today’s world are produced not from nature, but from humans or even machines. Images are no longer mimetic, but exist as form and color with no referent in nature. The goal of authenticity is long forgotten and the “real” is a concept of the past. Works of art produced in this era of simulacra challenge the concept of coherence, reject essentialism and biology, and seduce the subject to into forgetting its own imagined origin. They claim no authenticity, no content, no body, no transcendent source. Instead, they celebrate their own artificiality, their manufactured materials, and their constructed images. Created in virtual spaces, based on intricately constructed codes and systems, existent in worlds foreign to our own, how can these images still have such a seductive power over us? We are enticed by the flashy neon colors and geometric patterns to enter into this constructed world, only to look around and discover that it is this space – where the physicality is not a precursor to objecthood, the reproduction reigns over the original, and beauty little relationship to humanity – is the world we already inhabit. The photographs, videos, and installations that make up Neon Seduction welcome the viewer into a new way of thinking. In contrast to defined “essential” structures that dictate subjectivity, the work asks viewers to participate in a scenario in which they are free to occupy and move between multiple subject positions, in which they are asked to ignore the core and focus on the surface, and in which they are allowed to find the pleasure in being released from dogmatic concepts of wholeness.

Art Cart NYC™ is thrilled announce its participation in the “Festival of Ideas for the New City.” As part of the festival’s collaborative initiative to envision possibilities for the future of New York City, Art Cart NYC™ reimagines the infrastructure of a gallery by bringing an exhibition space to the streets. Challenging the participating artists to take into account the parameters of an alternative exhibition space, the truck serves as a point of inspiration for the creative process. On May 7 at the Festival’s StreetFest, Art Cart’s exhibition space will be transformed into a mobile installation that responds to the museum’s concept of a “reconfigured city.” Taking cues from the movement of art in alternative spaces, Art Cart’s method of exhibition has been influenced by everything from the ease of mobility of food trucks to the instant and constantly updating channels of communication and information dissemination provided by social networks. Envisioning the urban center as a malleable, ever-changing landscape, Art Cart NYC™ provides an exhibition space that is neither static nor immutable with the ability to change and move as fast as the city that it serves. For the upcoming exhibition, artist Hayden Dunham will transform the truck into a vibrant, multifaceted installation, using materials such as synthetic hair, cotton undergarments, egg shells, feather comforters, and found clothing. Blurring the line between the organic and the synthetic renderings of nature, Dunham’s work Until it all go’s will alter the truck’s space to reflect the dual character of the body as both coarse and abrasive, yet nurturing and safe. Constructing a quilt of interwoven underwear and keratin hair that wraps the outside of the truck and a dimly lit, womb-like escape of undulating cream colored comforters that envelop the viewer inside, Dunham’s environment creates a nostalgic atmosphere that recalls collective memories of girlhood and questions concepts of origin. Surrounded by these mixed organic and synthetic materials that evoke not only the “natural” body, but also the artificial or manipulated body one is left to question: how human are we? About Art Cart NYC™: Art Cart NYC™ is a mobile exhibition space that motivates people to think imaginatively about exhibiting and experiencing art. Building on the movement of art in alternative spaces, Art Cart NYC™ works with young artists, performers, and curators to organize dynamic public events in which exhibitions and performances are staged around the parameters of a truck. Its events build strong connections between members of a burgeoning interdisciplinary artistic community, and its web presence perpetuates the conversation about an emerging generation of creators. Art Cart NYC™ constructs unique situations that demonstrate how art is approachable, engaging, and socially valuable.

She also contributes to Artlog, an online contemporary art guide, as a global ambassador. Inspired by the popularity of the East Village Mud Truck—which she frequents—and motivated by the recent proliferation of gourmet street-fare and pop-up galleries, Hannah wanted to set up an art environment easily accessible to city locals. She hopes that the unusual space will inspire creativity and innovation not only in artist production, but also in exhibition practice.
