My American Summer
Tomorrow night, Jon will present work inspired by his summer in New York and Los Angeles at Giant Robot. Join Jon to chat about the hipsters and heat beginning at 6:30PM. Jon talks a bit about how My American Summer came about in this Juxtapoz interview. (Hint: it involves a “cat emergency” and to a lesser extent, Matt Groening.) The show runs through September 16th. Here’s the blurb from GRNY and a couple exclusive sneak previews.
My American Summer will feature works that have been made during Burgerman’s nearly three-month visit to America (in Los Angeles and, mainly, New York City). Most are drawings on paper, while others are unique, three-dimensional versions of his observations on his Brooklyn Hipsters, hand-made by plush expert, The Felt Mistress. The work plays with notions of being a tourist, cliched outsider observations, and how some cultural differences are now homogenized in most major cities.
