The first survey of the twenty-plus-year career of the highly influential multimedia artist Duke Riley, famous for expressing transgressive political and ecological themes through metaphors drawn from nautical folklore and nature.
Duke Riley’s work explores his lifelong fascination with urban waterways, their historical relationship to the culture of life at sea, and the uneasy intersections of human geography with the physical world. His work comments on a range of issues, from the cultural impact of overdevelopment and environmental destruction of waterfront communities to contradictions within political ideologies and the role of the artist in society. This comprehensive monograph collects work from his expansive career, encompassing drawings, sculptures, mosaics, performances, and more than one maritime adventure, including his Fly by Night public art project of pigeons illuminated by LED lights flying across the New York City skyline, documentation of his nefarious shell company Non-Essential Consultants, and the mayhem of the 2009 anarchic mock Roman naval battle, Those About to Die Salute at the Queens Museum.
La Otra Cara De La Moneda is a photographic collection by El Podri, exhibiting tattoos found on the streets of Spain.
ES: "...La aportación de Podri Tattoo en el ámbito social sería la de establecer una suerte de diálogo visual con las escenas marginales que conforman el teatro mismo de la vida urbana, con las vidas que se viven cada día fuera del mundo, de nuestro mundo, pero a la vez dentro de él. Se trata, literalmente, de entender lo que pasa cuando la moneda cae por la otra cara."
EN: "...The sociological contribution of Podri Tattoo is to highlight and create a visual dialogue between the ‘outcasts’ and those who often overlook them; to holistically see the world we all share. A creation that allows us to take a glimpse at the other side of the coin."
