Video Up Close into hundreds of artworks with studio tour during birthday art show

A 3 hour video live video taped of thousands of  Michael Alan’s works: from archived never seen works in storage to paintings, precious panels, expressive miniature paintings,  sketches, and over 40 curated and archived portfolios. In between book flipping Jadda takes you through each wall, decorated with a selection of work.

The video is taped live by boxhead friend as they go through works never seen up close! You see so much art from the comfort of your home, hand held, on the spot lo-fi video, at the same time you get glances of viewers at the show seeing the works for Mike’s mom.

A behind the scenes candid video live stream where they create, the video finishes as Jadda Cat birthing a new cardboard costume for The Living Installation performance project as the art family have been performing as box characters around the city this past year.

The art show was streamed live over Youtube with up close views of the works and fun smiles from the attendees. The full video is now available to view!

Michael Alan Alien drags you out of the “normal” day to day and takes you on a fantastic voyage with his wrenching emotionally explicit theater of the absurd. His cyborg partner Jadda Cat jumps in and out of living paintings with a camera on her head as she guides a live feed for an audience worldwide. The Living Installation opens up an expressionistic, ominous, silly and scary bag of emotions through offbeat bizarre body action art! They gleefully embrace thoughtful chaos and transformation, taking you on a journey into the unknown in front of the NYC skyline x air open studio, and random places in their building for their finale rooftop performance!

They aim to explore the universal human condition, revealing pictures within pictures and faces within faces. This is a new chapter for the Living Installation, creating the show daily leading into and before as they break the static boundary between 2nd and 3rd dimension, fully merging fashion with a new way to view art.

A fully functioning theatrical experience out of two suitcases.

Gearing up for the performance, the duo will be creating an all-new visceral and vivid fashion line of hand painted wearable art. Unlike their previous performances, the costumes and masks will be made in advance, preserved, and not destroyed during the this surreal clown fashion show. The wearable paintings, composed of repurposed paintings, upcycled materials, and a full spectrum of paint are to become splashes and dashes of living walking living art works! Sign up includes behind the scene images of the build up and creation!

This bizarre medley of post punk street fashion and wacky masks comes to life, a feast for your eyes while your ears are treated to a soundtrack by Michael Alan Alien. Live sound art over the tracks, a hallucinatory karaoke with kid’s instruments, wacky microphones, and 80s punk vocals. Tracks include musical collaborations with Kenny Scharf, Tommy Ramone, Jello Biafra, M.F. Grimm, Tim Love Lee, the Residents, Renaldo and the Loaf, Ramsey Jones, Aaron Dilloway, and many more!

The 22nd is the anniversary the death of Michael’s father. This performative piece is a dedication to him, providing a joyful experience for his charming mother who is hosting the event. The space is her home, all of their home that they are leaving after the show, She welcomes guests to say goodbye to the space into the three-room open-air studio to view an exhibition of new silkscreen prints, digital prints, and miniature card paintings! {don’t worry they will still be in Manhattan} the show also is an end positive as Jadda x alien leave to find there mom more suitable housing in NYC!
