DEBO EILERS IS MAKING ART FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. OUT WITH THE OLD, & IN WITH THE NEW. WHEN WE SAW HIS WORK AT NADA IN 2010 ALL WE SAW WAS BEST IN SHOW. SO WE ARE SUPER EXCITED TO SEE JEREMY, ELMO, KAYA & CO. ON THE TOP TEN LIST AT NUMBER 9 X
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE ARTIST RELINQUISHES CONTROL OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS? DEBO EILERS ONGOING COLLABORATION WITH KAYA EXPLORES THAT VERY NOTION, STARTING AT 12 YEARS OLD, WHEN THE ARTIST ALLOWED HIS CONSPIRATOR TO PURCHASE WHATEVER SHE WANTED IN THE STORE, HER TASTES AND CHOICES DIRECTLY IMPACTING THE WORK, WITH THAT GESTURE EILERS OPENS A CROSS-CULTURAL DIALOGUE UNHINDERED BY ACADEMIA OR ART HISTORY, FOSTERING THIS SPACE, & COMING TO TRUST THE INSTINCTS OF HIS COLLABORATOR. A DANCE BETWEEN STUDENT & TEACHER, THE EXCHANGE OF PROTEGE & MASTER THAT TAKES PLACE, WHERE THE STUDENT BECOMES THE MUSE. IN THE AGE OF TEENAGE SUPERSTARS KAYA IS REACHING THE ATTENTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL ART WORLD, YEARS BEFORE SHE HAS EVEN STARTED AT A HIGH SCHOOL.
ELEMENTS OF THE PERFORMANCES MAKE THEIR WAY BACK INTO THE WORKS, LEFT OVER MASKS, BEATS, SCREEN GRABS, AND DISCARDED CLOTHING, GET RE-PROCESSED, CONSUMERISM & THE CONSUMPTION PROCESS UNABASHEDLY ON DISPLAY, ALMOST TO A OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE FEVER PITCH. WHERE LITTLEST PET SHOP MEETS PAUL MCCARTHY EPIC, WITH BOB ROSS GIVING YOU A TRIP REPORT IT’S AN OVERWHELMING VISION OF THE ART ACADEMIES OF THE FUTURE.
