SEVEN DEADLY SINS

Saturday, July 14th

7pm – 12am

Areté Venue and Gallery

67 West St, Brooklyn, NY 11222

On July 14th, 2018, Areté Gallery presents Michael Alan’s “Seven Deadly Sins”, a modern day fairytale multimedia performance / installation and print exhibition.

Michael Alan Alien and Jadda Cat making art from love and devotion, are creating a live experimental, immersive theatrical experience “the Living Installation” with an ongoing 30 day exhibition at the Areté Venue and Gallery in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The NYC art couple Jadda Cat and Michael Alan Alien will be acting out a dark comedy living art performance. The artists will cover themselves in paint, metaphors and masks. Everything from pie throwing to doll destruction. “Lust, greed and a gluttonous life are the reasons why humans struggle. The ongoing struggle to feel ok, and to take too much. The sloth nature of anxiety. The struggle of being a human/animal has been captured in fine art for ages.” -Alien
“I’m here to create an empathetic, honest, strong visual language, by working through every process I can, whether it’s drawing, painting, sculpture, performance or music that will touch as many people as possible. Life is short.” —Michael Alan Alien
Seven Deadly Sins is a unique live installation in which the odd NYC art couple Michael Alan and Jadda Cat will turn themselves into large human sculpture. Human bloopers. Accept the mistakes. The happening spins from theatrical to insane asylum. A metamorphosis of body awareness, constantly changing depicting human struggle through the seven deadly sins, and finally transforming into a peaceful state.
Michael Alan also teams up with Jadda to exhibit over 25 new prints, small works, and photos as well as video projection and live sound. Some photos and prints will have jaddas spin and touch! Mechanical puppets on fire!
“[His art aims] to recapture what has been lost and update it with a big splash of paint.” – Ruth La Ferla, The New York Times, April 30, 2009
The opening performance is on July 14th from 7pm-12am.
The exhibition will be on view on July 14th and 15th from 12pm-7pm, and will continue to be on view until July 31st, by appointment and during concerts at the venue.
