About this Item

Neuware - The conceptual / internet based artist, Jim Rickss synchronic sequence of popular images or objects rests, on opportunities to visually connect politics and/or aesthetics and/or history and/or philosophy together. In Rickss world images explode, reloading their meaning and impact by mere association; a smiling pineapple ends up inside a hand grenade, the hand grenade ends up in the hand of the young boy in the iconic Diane Arbus photograph which leads into a conversation about photography. This dance of culturally charged imagery does not stop until the last page of the book. far from a traditional exhibition, document Alien Invader branches out to be all forms a book can be. It includes collaborations, footnotes as inserts and explorations in print along with a sticker, newspaper, leaflet, cook book, coloring, bookmark, and a book within the book with a text by art and design critic Max Bruinsma, describing the Synchromaterialist approach.

About this title

Synopsis

One thing will always lead to another.

Artist Jim Ricks's synchronic sequence of images or objects rests on opportunities to visually connect politics and/or aesthetics and/or history and/or philosophy from one to another. As a formal quest, this fundamental empirical and practice-based research within the ranges of our visual culture, conceptually triggers actual cultural migration and identification. In his "Synchromaterialist" series, Ricks visually reveals the inevitability of migration and of the inherent viral state of nature, and the nature of existence what is inherently human through the perception and reorganization of the everyday.

He takes over the book format following on from the exhibition methodology to drop the unexpected organics of the Synchromaterialistic. This book reaches and branches out to be all forms a book can be. It includes a number of collaborations and footnotes as inserts and explorations in print sticker, newspaper, leaflet, cookbook, coloring, bookmark, and a book within the book with a text by art and design critic Max Bruinsma, describing the Synchromaterialist approach.
