Unpacking Art

A couple of vintage Wy pieces. There's still lots of art to unpack and hang.

Hanging Life Long Action Adventure

Hanging Wyeth's Life Long Action Adventure, originally part of his True Believers show at the Riviera Gallery.

The Adventures of Tintin and Wyeth: ARTISTS ONLY

The Adventures of Tintin and Wyeth: ARTISTS ONLY, originally uploaded by Nat Hansen.

Another custom Tintin cover by my Dad, Doug Hansen. This one is for my brother: he is on stage with David Byrne, Tina Weymouth and Tintin (wearing a RISD shirt) at CBGB's, while Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison have been arrested by the Thompson Twins (foreground).

The cover is reminiscent of The Castafiore Emerald.

Young Guns

Wyeth & Ryan (Labour) won an ADC Young Guns award.

Thomas 2001 Organ

Wyeth pointed out that the Thomas 2001 organ that decorates the lobby of the hotel I stayed at in Los Angeles plays a small role in one of his motion graphics.

Illustration

Wyeth illustrated and animated the new Rapture video, "Whoo! Alright-Yeah... Uh Huh", now up on his website.

MOVE

More high-concept whimsy from Wyeth et al, for the AIGA Move conference.

Unique Forms of Continuity in Space

Wyeth was featured artist for awhile over here.

While we were home we played some futurist basketball:


He looks kind of like this.

Mr. T and the Miniature Tractatus

Mr. T is holding a copy of the Tractatus, miniature edition (modified Mr. T bookmark by Wyeth).

A few years ago (maybe 4 or 5 years ago), Zed began to seriously abuse his free CTY copying by reducing works of philosophy to tiny sizes. I still have a miniature copy of McDowell's review of Bernard Williams's Ethics and the Limits of Philosophy. Zed made a whole miniature Tractatus. I believe that when he was writing his preliminary essay, he went to Tanzania with a "library" of his miniature editions.

I think I remember him being inspired to do this by getting a little copy of the US Constitution with a list of all the proposed amendments in the back. Some of the amendments that were proposed but not ratified included a proposal to rename the U.S. the "United States of the World". Another amendment proposed that in order for the U.S. to go to war, there had to be a popular vote. Anyone voting for war would be immediately drafted.
