> Foxy Productions presents Blinky, an exhibition inspired by the energy
> of collaboration and participation. Blinky features anarchic aesthetic
> ideas springing from a techno-driven culture. '80s video games, flying
> saucers, '60s cartoon characters, and acts of transgression for the
> camera are subjected to exhilarating treatments that provoke both
> critical and pleasurable responses to received notions of technology
> and
> history.
>
> A Constructed World ([aka] Jacqueline Riva and Geoff Lowe) present
> prints, paintings and video that contemplate explosive situations and
> unruly forms of speaking. Developing from hacker culture, Cory
> Arcangel/BEIGE present silk-screened landscape studies, processed
> through Super Mario Brothers/Nintento code. Arcangel also exhibits a
> video (made with collaborator Paul Davis/BEIGE) that is programmed and
> played on a reverse-engineered Super Mario Brothers cartridge. Sarah
> Ciraci presents digital prints of UFOs that are seductively psychedelic
> rather than icons of social panic. Paper Rad ([aka] Benjamin Jones,
> Jessica Ciocci, and Jacob Ciocci) present video and prints inspired by
> Gumby, Arthur Cloakey's [late '50s/ early '60s] good-natured cartoon
> character. Paper Rad situate Gumby in a strangely familiar world where
> he somehow maintains his sublime innocence and spirit.
>
> Foxy Productions is a contemporary gallery that provides a focus for
> inter-disciplinary practices, interactive situations and collaborative
> ventures. Foxy Productions is directed by Michael Gillespie and John
> Thomson.
