2. Guggenheim Exhibit/Chelsea Galleries
Spending the day in New
York with my classmates
was one of the more
inspirational days I’ve had
in my college career- for
once, I felt like we could
one day fill in the gallery
spaces we were in awe
of- so encompassing and
larger than ourselves.
That day, I wondered
what it would be like to
make it big.

9. MCGEE
His work critiques consumeristculture and the constantbackdrop of commercialism ineveryday interactions; rejectingthe billboard and chain store,McGee instead finds inspirationin the seeming randomness ofgraffiti, the endless uploading ofimages on the internet, and thecreative styling of misfits.
Visually stimulating, perceptive, and seeming
to channel the various rhythmic beats of urban
culture, McGee’s work addresses issues of
identity, mark-making, authorship and
autonomy within the bustling, constantly
changing tableau of city life.
Directly involved with the installations of his shows,
McGee organizes his multi-layered compositions on-
site.
11. PETTIBON

12. PETTIBON
Raymond Pettibon’swork embraces awide spectrum ofAmerican “high” and“low” culture, fromthe deviations ofmarginal youth to arthistory, literature,sports, religion,politics, andsexuality.
Fragments fromAmerican societyhave been distilledinto key images,which oftenincorporate textsof varying length,from one word toseveralparagraphs.
14. CLUSTERED COMPOSITIONS
Both Pettibon and McGee use a specificstyle in collecting, compiling, andconcentrating their imagery into a cluster ofmedia.
Both combine drawn imagery and text to convey ideas -
using bold colors and patterns that reflect upon their street art backgrounds.
15. PROPOSAL
For this exercise I plan to borrow from thetwo artists urban background so oftenfound in their imagery and employ agraffiti-like commentary on society. Mostimportantly, their jarring display strikes me-clusters of work compliment each other intheir compiling. I hope to build and on-siteinstallation of framed illustrations across afew mediums I’ve discovered in Barry andRay’s collections.
