EVOLUTION AND EMPIRE
Thursday, February 11th, 2010
Rogue Citizen was invited last week to participate in Gimme Shelter: A Benefit Concert for Haiti, sponsored by City Pages and Gimme Noise, featuring Mark Mallman and Solid Gold; other artists included DWITT, Chuck U and Anthem Heart. Proceeds went to the Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development Fund, and Architecture for Humanity. We painted live for the duration of the show, and in the end Evolution and Empire was auctioned for a lot more than we could have contributed ourselves.
Look for Rogue Citizen’s piece in Foot in the Door 4 at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
An ambitious collaboration is under way between myself and Pramila Vasudevan of Aniccha Arts, dramatically expanding the concept and scale of the media/performance piece “Words to Dead Lips” shown last November at Pillsbury House Theater in Minneapolis. Aniccha Arts’ website currently features a segment of that piece via youtube.
INCLINATION FOR STRATEGIC THOUGHT
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010
Public Consumption has been delayed indefinitely but not halted definitely. Dispersing paintings all over the City tends to be frowned upon when the necessary permits and insurance are not acquired. That is the focus right now for Rogue Citizen; keep your ear to the ground for project updates in the coming weeks.
Many thanks to everyone who came out to catch Live Painting with Phantom Tails January 8th at the Nomad World Pub on the west bank in Minneapolis! Rogue Citizen will rise again with more live painting events this year…
Once a decade, there’s show that goes down at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts called Foot in the Door as part of the Minnesota Artist Exhibition Program. I’ll have a piece in there.
Join the crew Saturday, February 27th for the closing reception of Precious Bodily Fluids, a small exhibition of some of my recent work at Galactic Pizza. After 9:30, it’s a dollar off beer and wine!
Cheers,
Matt
CITIZENS WITH PHANTOM TAILS
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009
Happy Christmahannakwaanzadon! Thanks for visiting us at the Holiday Art Show at Carleton Lofts in St Paul. Diverse artists, a little difficult to locate for some, but a rowdy bunch we are.
It’s almost 2010.
January 1: Public Consumption is going down in Minneapolis. I don’t know if you’re ready for it. Over forty paintings are deposited all over the city. If you find one of these, look on the back of the piece for the “Public Consumption” logo, and contact Rogue Citizen with comments, photos, video, and critiques concerning where you found it, what happened to it; what you did with it. All of this information will go in to a short documentary by Sam Thompson to be presented at the next FEAST grant event in February. Check out the trailer for it, set to a killer tune from Phantom Tails…
January 8: Living Painting with Phantom Tails! The Nomad World Pub is going to host a night of great bands with the wonderfully psychotic Phantom Tails capping it off. Rogue Citizen artists will be painting on a 5×5ft canvas live all evening (for sale via silent auction), and a collection of our work will be on the walls there for the month. This event requires your attendance. It is not optional. Come at 7pm for the art opening, stay until your socks are rocked.
January 9: Galactic Pizza on Lyndale Avenue, everyone’s favorite local/organic high-flying superhero establishment, will be hosting an opening for an exhibition of my work there, Precious Bodily Fluids. Show up at 9pm for a dollar off brews!
Keep an eye out during the year for another Rogue Citizen project… Exquisite Robot.
