Attaboy’s ‘The Cradle of Life’ Headed to LA Art Show

Attaboy's "Cradle of Life" installation, which premiered at the “Art of the Mushroom” group show at Compound Gallery last year, is now headed to the the LA Art Show on Jan. 23-27. It will be part of the Littletopia section of the event. The Hi-Fructose co-founder designed the work as rideable, and as you can see below, revelers at the Compound Gallery events took him up on the opportunity.

The LA Art Show has been running for more than 20 years, with the Littletopia section created to “showcase of the best and brightest from the lowbrow and pop art movements.” Galleries represented in the section include BoxHeart Gallery, Copro Gallery, Corey Helford Gallery, John Natsoulas Gallery, Keane Eyes Gallery, Red Truck Gallery, Sally Centigrade, and Superchief Gallery. The hours for the LA Art Show are Thursday (Jan. 24)-Saturday (Jan. 26), 11 a.m.- 7 p.m., and Sunday (Jan. 27), 11 a.m.-5 p.m.

In what he calls “hyperbaroque” sculptures, Miguel Rodrigues twists and poses plastic resin into forms that resemble both metal and fabric. Specifically, the artist uses PETg (or polyethylene terephthalate), and is able to craft works from the material that inspire on both tabletops and as massive structures.
At Tacit Contemporary Art in Melbourne, Australia, artist Irene Wellm crafts a fairytale in a paper collage installation titled “Mundus Imaginalis.” Painted with gouache, the surreal images resemble paper dolls of mythological characters. The artist said she was inspired by the narratives of the Grimm Brothers in creating the works, which start as digital collage and are then scaled and painted in monochrome. The exhibit runs through Dec. 18 at the gallery.
At the National Art Center in Tokyo, Emmanuelle Moureaux helps the spot mark its 10th anniversary with the installation "Forest of Numbers." This "symbolization of the next 10 years to come" consists of more than 60,000 suspended numbers, with a path cut through the work so that visitors can immerse themselves inside of the “forest.” The 10 layers of the piece represents a decade, with 4 digits that represent years between 2017 and 2026. Moreso, 100 shades of hues were used in the installation. It took 300 volunteers to pull off the work.
