2018 Statewide Student Surrealist Art Exhibit: "The Marvelous, the Fantastic & the Grotesque"
May 19-August 26

Initiated in 1985, this annual art exhibit presents work by middle and high school students who are invited to explore ideas and visions similar to those explored by Dali and the surrealists.

The Surrealists rejected the norm of early 20th century art, which they saw as mostly traditional and rigid. The group wanted to create a new standard for what art could be-a new standard of beauty, and they did this by exploring the images of their dreams and unconscious minds-the part of ourselves we cannot control or censor. This resulted in a new art, which the Surrealists described as the Marvelous, the Fantastic and the Grotesque.

The Marvelous was this new standard of beauty for the Surrealists. They called it "convulsive beauty" because it is artwork that creates a jolt or shock, a thrilling feeling of disorientation, and wonder. For the Surrealists, strange was beautiful, and the genres of the Fantastic and the Grotesque embodied this idea of beauty.

The Fantastic is a genre described as unusual, surprising and disorienting-qualities that challenge the rational and traditional. It creates a moment of doubt or confusion for the viewer, making him unsure of what he's seeing. It's uncanny, the familiar made strange. Something is off, but you can't seem to put your finger on it. Is it real or imaginary? *

The Grotesque is a genre of art representing the opposite of classical beauty based on the chaotic, the disturbing and the extreme. It can be ugly, but it can also be bizarre, transformative, and exaggerated. The Surrealists used the Grotesque to shock and to disrupt the traditional way of seeing the world.

The Marvelous, the Fantastic and the Grotesque are at the core of what surrealism is. They exist within your unconscious and are as broad as your imagination can take you. With these categories in mind, we invite you to confront the limits of reality, explore your dreams, and use surrealist techniques such as symbolism, transformation and juxtaposition to produce your interpretation of the Marvelous, the Fantastic, or the Grotesque.

*The Fantastic in art is not Fantasy Art, which is characterized as illustrations based on Fantasy literature.

Working with vintage photographs, artist Julie Cockburn ( previously) re-energizes images that have been lost to time with colorful overlays. Cockburn adds tightly stitched orbs, swirling marbled enamel, and architectural structures as overlays to black-and-white or softly toned studio portraits, candid snaps, and landscape photos.

The London-based artist's current solo exhibition, 'Telling It Slant', is on view through November 2, 2019 at Flowers Gallery's Kingsland Road location. Cockburn's show title alludes to an Emily Dickinson poem called Tell all the Truth but Tell it Slant. In a statement, the gallery describes the artist's work as "excavat[ing] authentic stories by circuitous means... Cockburn embarks on a visual journey to delicately reveal narrative histories and layered meanings in lost and discarded images. Cockburn partially obscures the images in a process she describes as 'paradoxically unmasking' their intrinsic truths."

See more of the artist's work on Instagram, and place an order for Cockburn's first monograph, Stickybeak, published by Commune.

In a unique collision of recreation and art, the Elmhurst Art Museum will commission an 18-hole artist-designed golf course in homage to the wildly popular 1988 exhibition Par Excellence at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The fully playable course will be conceived and fabricated by a new group of contemporary artists, designers, and architects selected through an open call process. Designed to fill the entirety of the museum's interior galleries, the course will be comprised of a surprisingly varied collection of themes and forms, promising an unusual twist on a familiar pastime.

The extraordinarily popular exhibition was the brainchild of sculptor Michael O'Brien and opened to lines down the block. The show sold out daily and found its way to the pages of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, People Magazine, CNN, and the Chicago Tribune among others. The course went on tour to downstate Illinois before returning to Chicago as a rebranded commercial miniature golf course called ArtGolf at 1800 N. Clybourn in Lincoln Park (currently the site of Goose Island Brewery).

Artist-designed golf courses are now a popular addition to many Midwest museums such as the Walker Art Center, The Sheldon, and Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, but Par Excellence is widely believed to be the first.

Par Excellence Redux is curated by Colossal's founder & editor-in-chief Christopher Jobson. To learn more about the open call process and submit your ideas for a hole, head on over to the Elmhurst Art Museum for more info.

Pastel artist Zaria Forman 's subject of choice the glacier. The natural phenomenon that occurs around the globe is a critical element of cold-weather ecosystems, as well as a barometer of global climate health. The Brooklyn-based artist travels worldwide, often accompanying scientific expeditions, to experience and document glaciers firsthand, taking thousands of reference photographs to inform her enormous pastel drawings.

In translating her real-world travels on to paper, Forman shares that she draws from memory as well as from her reference photographs. "Occasionally I will re-shape the ice a little, or simplify a busy background to create a balanced composition, but 90% of the time I am depicting the exact scene that I witnessed, because I want to stay true to the landscape that existed at that point in time."

Forman shares with Colossal that her passion for remote landscapes was sparked in childhood, when she traveled the world with her family-including her fine art photographer mother. As an adult she has channeled this fascination with our planet's vast and varied landscapes into her art practice.

Climate change is arguably the largest crisis we face as a global society. I feel a responsibility as an artist to address this in my work, especially since I've had the rare opportunity to travel to remote places at the forefront of the crisis. Psychology tells us that humans take action and make decisions based on emotion above all else. Studies have shown that art impacts our emotions. I convey the beauty as opposed to the devastation of threatened places in my work. If people can experience the sublimity of these landscapes, perhaps they will be inspired to protect and preserve them.

Many of the works shown here feature Greenland's glaciers. Last winter, Forman also re-visited Antactica and Patagonia's southern ice fields, and she has just started working on a series around Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina. "Impressively, Perito Moreno glacier is the third largest reserve of fresh water on the planet, surpassed only by the Antarctic and Greenland Ice sheets," Forman explains to Colossal. "It also happens to be the only glacier in the southern ice fields that is not retreating. But it's not advancing, either. I am excited to dive into its details and textures in these new compositions."

Next summer, Forman's solo show will be on view at Winston Wächter Fine Art in Seattle. The artist is also curating an exhibition about the National Geographic Endurance, a polar expedition ship, which will be installed in February, 2020. Follow along with Forman's work and travels on Instagram.

Two, three, and four dimensions commingle in " The Full Story" by filmmaker Daisy Jacobs and animator Chris Wilder. In their previous, highly lauded short, "The Bigger Picture", the duo painted animations on walls, combined with sculpture components like moveable papier maché limbs, and regular 'real world' objects.

In their newest film, "The Full Story," Jacobs and Wilder tell Colossal that they "really wanted to push [themselves] creatively and try new ideas." In addition to all the elements the duo used in "The Bigger Picture," the newer film also incorporates human actors to tell the story of two siblings' experience of their parents acrimonious marriage.

In order to merge the real and imagined, Jacobs and Wilder explain that they made the sets more realistic and the actors more 'painterly' to find a stylistic middle ground. "To make the sets more realistic we emphasized textures and brought out shine with lighting and varnish. With the real people we did the opposite-painting their clothes, minimizing shadows on their faces with make-up and making them more graphic with wigs."

Jacobs and Wilder only animate as a pair, and explain that their work is done "straight-ahead". Each image is painted over as they animate, which allows no room for error or second takes. To complete the film, Huw Bradford created the soundtrack and a slate of random objects worked as Foley.

You can see Jacobs in action working on "The Full Story" in the time-lapse below, and see more on her Vimeo page.

The Last Honey Hunter was released in 2017, but is new to us at Colossal and is a powerful story worth a watch at any point. Set in rural Nepal, the half hour documentary chronicles the Kulung culture's traditions of honey collection. Using precarious methods to scale treacherous cliffs, the Kulung seek to harvest a particular type of psychotropic honey that has spiritual significance to the community. We won't seek to paraphrase the intricacies of the tradition; when you have some time, go into full screen mode and sink in to the story.

Written and directed by Ben Knight, The Last Honey Hunter is a co-production of Camp4 Collective and Felt Soul Media, in association with National Geographic and with the community expertise of dZi Foundation. You can also read about the Kulung honey rituals in a National Geographic article.

The anonymous artist duo MonkeyBird creates large-scale paintings of black-and-white cross contour depictions of mythical animals accented in gold. Most MonkeyBird artworks incorporate a humanoid monkey and bird, which represent "the two faces of humankind, the monkey being the realist, and the bird being a dreamer," according to Paris-based 5Art Gallery. Old-world details like classical architecture, timekeeping devices, and weight scales add to the timeless look of the pair's paintings. MonkeyBird's members bring training in graphic design, as well as object and industrial design to their artistic aesthetic, which can be seen in their clean, technique-driven stenciling.

Based in Bordeaux, France, MonkeyBird travels widely to create outdoor murals as well as indoor installations. They'll be working in Moscow from October 2 to the 11th. Follow along with MonkeyBird's newest projects on Instagram, and pick up a limited edition print in their online store. (via Hi-Fructose)

Tony the Frosted Flakes tiger sacrificed as a living room rug, wooden dolls handing their babies off to smugglers in freight truck trailers, and welcome mats stitched from life jackets: rather than offering an aspirational lifestyle, one South London storefront window depicts a capitalist dystopia. Created by Banksy and appearing overnight, Gross Domestic Product is the latest installation to critique global society's major issues of forced human migration, animal exploitation, and the surveillance state.

The temporary installation, which will be on view for two weeks in the Croydon neighborhood, incorporates multiple window displays for a shop that is not in fact open to passersby. However, some of the items on display are available for purchase in GDP's associated online store including the welcome mats, which Banksy hired refugees in Greek detainment camps to stitch; all proceeds go back to the refugees. Revenue from sales of the doll sets will also support the purchase of a replacement boat for activist Pia Klemp, whose boat was confiscated by the Italian government. The product line is rounded out with such oddities as disco balls made from riot gear helmets, handbags made of bricks, and signed-and partially used-£10 spray paint cans.

Tying this latest project to his larger body of work, Banksy incorporated familiar motifs. The fireplace and stenciled jacquard wallpaper from his Walled Off Hotel, the stab-proof Union Jack vest he created for Stormzy to wear at the Glastonbury Festival, and the Basquiat-inspired ferris wheel that appeared outside the Barbican all appear in GDP.

In a statement about the project, Banksy explains that the impetus behind Gross Domestic Product is a legal battle between the artist and a greeting card company that is contesting the trademark Banksy holds to his art. Lawyer Mark Stephens, who is advising the artist, explains, "Banksy is in a difficult position because he doesn't produce his own range of shoddy merchandise and the law is quite clear-if the trademark holder is not using the mark then it can be transferred to someone who will."

Despite this project's specific goal of selling work in order to allow Banksy to demonstrate the active use of his trademark, the artist clarifies, "I still encourage anyone to copy, borrow, steal and amend my art for amusement, academic research or activism. I just don't want them to get sole custody of my name."

Per usual, Banksy shares updates on Instagram, where he claims recent projects, including GDP, which he just announced an hour ago as of press time.

Lesson Objective:  express concepts, ideas and meaning through visual  communication.
How can you express a unique/personal feeling visually using the same imagery?
each student will be given the same image of a plain closed door.
They are first to describe how it makes you feel in their PP and make a sketch to explain.
Then they asked to manipulate the door in some way to express a feeling.
For example, they can cut and open the door and créate a landscape of a field to symbolize freedom or they can put locks on it and bolt that door shut to show they are trapped or afraid...
