Lossy Botany Lab Sneak Peeks Part 2: Color on Canvas
Yesterday, we got some Felt Mistress plush peeks and some outlines and splashes of color for Jon’s upcoming solo show, The Lossy Botany Lab at heliumcowboy artspace in Hamburg. Today, we’ve got still more sneaks of work-in-progress. This should be a very interesting show, because as a vegetarian, plants are central to Jon’s diet. As the saying goes, you are what you eat. Basically, Jon Burgerman is a salad. Lossy Botany Lab opens July 1st at 8PM. Stay tuned for sketches and installations!
Anxiety Room
Of course it’s my luck that Jon would make a rare appearance across the pond, and I’m still stuck across the country. On February 12th, 2009, Jon and pop artist Jim Avignon opened Anxiety Room at Brooklyn, NY’s Factory Fresh. The show continues to explore a theme familiar to Burgerman fans (as seen in sculptures like WorryKnott and the London installation, Anxiety Wall). In addition to many paintings, drawings and masks, the duo collaborated on a live painting called Anxiety Broom. I got the “Too Many Emails” drawing! The rest of what’s still available can be found here. Check out a few work-in-progress photos sent by Jon at ToyCyte and pics from the show on Flickr here. Videos below the photos, too.
Open Space Tote Bag
In 2008, New York’s OPEN SPACE asked 125 artists from around the world to donate their time and talent to reducing the amount of wasted plastic bags (1,000 per family every year) by creating custom-designed tote bags. The bags were displayed and sold through OPEN SPACE from April 12th through May 3rd. 100% of the profits from the sales of the show went to the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, a New York-based organization committed to environmental education and advocacy. Jon’s tote bag is sold out.
OPEN SPACE was started by Kalene Rivers and Daniel Weise to combine their shared passions for art, culture and design. The space is home to thundercut, an art and design studio, SHERBERT Magazine, an independently published art and literature magazine, a gallery featuring the works of artists they find inspiring, and an event space where they can host events they find important and interesting.
Pinkcess Shopping Bag
In August of 2008, Singapore’s Dooperdoo ran a sale that offered a bonus artist tote bag with the purchase of three t-shirts. Jon has a handful of Dooperdoo designs. Now you can get the bag straight from Jon sans shirts for £10 UK and £15 non-UK including postage. The bag is made and printed in Singapore by Dooperdoo and is approximately 330×380x70mm. Reusable tote bags are (literally) the new canvas.
Beijing Exhibition
From July 12th through August 12th 2008, Jon showed new paintings and and sculptures at Litou Space in the Chaoyang District of Beijing.
Mini Canvases
These are four 2008 sold-out “high quality canvas prints, signed, dated and delivered with love.” They measured 130×170x10mm and featured Pinkcess, Zippy, Anton and Fluffer.
Under the Influence: A Tribute to Stan Lee
Under The Influence: A Tribute to Stan Lee was a 2008 group show at Gallery 1988 in LA. Jon’s piece is available from the gallery as a numbered and signed edition of ten. G1988’s second Under The Influence paid tribute to The Beastie Boys.
Duhprishus
Duhphrishus was Jon’s solo exhibition that ran from March through April at ROJO Artspace in Milano, Italy.
Duhprishus will lick the whimwham flutterbyes straight out of your eyes and smear them right back on to the walls. Subject to impulsive, unpredictable lines and cascades of pop colour, come and bear witness to the latest victim of Jon Burgermans’ slight of hand and heavy of head; ROJO® artspace Milano. This will be a full force installation with un-twistable stomachs and detachable parts, which will be available as collector’s items, along with the new monographic book entitled “Gribba Grub” and published by ROJO®.
Blaugallery Canvas Prints
Jon has three high quality prints on canvas at Blaugallery in the BLAUGALLERY III Exclusive Limited Editions series. Each item is 160 x 112 cm and signed and numbered. The three prints are available in an edition of 10 for 800 Euros each.

BlauGallery is a project that is driven by spirit and heart. The main spirit of the BlauGallery is to bring individual art to peoples’ homes in a perfect way. The task is to develop unconventional products that carry this art and make it available to the customer in the highest quality at an acceptable price. Therefore all products of the BlauGallery are sold directly from the producer to the customer via e-commerce. There is no reselling distribution. Jon’s work is available (while it lasts) at Blaugallery (from whence I’ve pilfered these pics…).
