ACED spoke to Palengat about the show.
What is the theme of
the show?
It's simply to show how pop art is constantly
being re-interpreted and reworked by artists working in different media around
the world.
How did you select and find the
artists involved?
They've been scooped up by Apart over the last nine
years and I picked the ones for this show who were most likely to get their work
in a container on time!
How did Scion find you and
approach you to do a show?
I hosted Freddi C and the Scrawl Collective's Big American Graffiti show Streetwise One in my London gallery in 2001.
What's been the biggest challenge
you've faced in putting together this show?
It's still to come—hanging it on the 15th!
Is there anything in particular
you would like people to take away from this show - what would you like to
inspire in those that view the artwork?
The same response that we always seem to get
which is: inspiration, joy, laughter and fascination at how these artists think
of the things they do and....how, a bit like the Harlem Globetrotters, they put
on such a great spectacle as a team.
What do you have lined up for the
future? What's next after this show?
I'm curating a three week group show at Steve Shaw's beautiful new Abbott Kinney gallery on the 16th March, then back to London to curate an enormous Notting Hill Apart Retrospective for all of our artists to say hello to their old clients, then back to Las Vegas where I'm putting on another big group show in mid May downtown, then to Zurich for a Pakpoom Silaphan solo show... and the rest of the year I'll work out as I go! ◊
Amongst
the eclectic lineup will be Sex Pistols photographer Peter Gravelle,
Belgian caravan artist Mr Wim, Swedish latex scupltress Emelie Salford,
Japanese designer and photographer Super Violence, French punk teddy
bear creator Tony Pronier and English glitter king Robalot. The opening reception takes place February 16, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at the Scion Installation L.A. Gallery, 3521 Helms Ave. (at National), Culver City, Calif., 90232. The show will run until March 1.           |
