DUMB MONEY

Posted on 2023-08-21

Dumb Money is the ultimate David vs. Goliath tale, based on the insane true story of everyday people who flipped the script on Wall Street and got rich by turning GameStop (yes, the mall videogame store) into the world’s hottest company. In the middle of everything is regular guy Keith Gill (Paul Dano), who starts it all by sinking his life savings into the stock and posting about it. When his social posts start blowing up, so does his life and the lives of everyone following him. As a stock tip becomes a movement, everyone gets rich – until the billionaires fight back, and both sides find their worlds turned upside down.

Jei Tseng brings the evil doll that gave so many of us nightmares back to life with a new 1/6 art collaboration between his JT Studios and Universal. Wanna Play’ With a stylized, fully articulated and accessorized design, Chucky is up to whatever you can imagine.

The Chucky 1/6 art toy figure is ready for mayhem with a full arsenal of tools from those seen in the movies (bat, kitchen knife, hammer) as well as street style staples including spray cans and of course, a skate board. Tseng’s street aesthetic is splattered throughout, from the overalls to the graffiti graphics on the skateboard and the circular base. This is the artist’s second collaboration with Universal following his 1/6 take on Felix the Cat.

VALENTIN CARRON – HAUS UND KROPF

Posted on 2023-08-21

Although there were attempts in the 20th century to increasingly incorporate the immaterial into art, as the examples of Marcel Duchamp or Mark Rothko show, the binding of art to its materials remains a fundamental prerequisite. This applies all the more to sculpture, for it is always a setting in that reality which man and society can produce, change, or destroy. Until a few decades ago, three categories were considered the standard for the attitude of a sculptor: to the first belonged the aspect of modeling (with the classical materials of stone, wood and bronze), to the second the use of industrially produced materials and to the last, finally, the inclusion of found materials of any kind. In a further step, some artists have appropriated works by colleagues in the sense of Appropriaton Art and placed them into new contexts.
