Morgan Blair, Aside From Our Hit “Ass, Gas or Grass (Manifest Destiny)” Which Had a Short-Lived Run on VH1 Canada’s Pop up Video, Mitchell Solieri and the Easy Rollers Didn’t See Much Success. The Cost of Gas Alone for a Touring Box Truck Outfitted for Five Adults and Fifteen Children Far Outweighed the Profits From Book Sales, and New Age Ska With White Nationalist Undertones as a Genre Never Really Took off in the U.S. the Way It Did in Eastern Europe. That Became Apparent When an Audience Member at the 2004 Best Buy Skank for DVD’s Event in Myrtle Beach Hurled a 15oz Tub of Ricotta Cheese Onstage During Our Song “Fist Full of Grapenuts.”, 2019.

For Dallas Art Fair Projects, we are sending exuberant works from four female artists who use play as a creative strategy in their diverse paintings, drawing and sculpture. Newly vaccinated, we are excited for the opportunity to get out of New York for a second and cut loose!
Serbian artist Maja Djordjevic uses the rudimentary language of MS paint to create handmade enamel artworks with nude female figures. Her piece I Will Play! was the inspiration for this project; the insistent optimism and intense energy of the neon-topped hopscotch painting was the exact vibe we wanted for this spring show.
Misaki Kawai includes a classic painting, a brand-new painting, and a giant pettable emoji sculpture from her recent body of work shown in the National Gallery of Victoria Triennial and The Hole this January. She uses a Japanese style of “heta-uma” literally ‘good-bad’, to show the evocativeness of rudimentary rendering and onomatopoetic repetition to name her works (Moko moko means fluffy).
Monica Kim Garza is an Atlanta-based artist known for her figure paintings of nude brown women doing all kinds of stuff. Whether being normal sitting around smoking cigarettes, or doing nude jogging, her works are loose in execution and casual in feel. What could be more chill than some nude hiking or nude biking?
Morgan Blair makes drawings from colored children’s clay to sketch out the 3D-looking forms of the paintings she wants to paint. Improvisational-feeling and full of irreverent color gradients, her works have an immediacy to them despite being painstakingly created with tons of precise tape and airbrush.
