CUPCO x SUCKADELIC – METROPOLIS GALLERY

My man ルーク/CUPCOが個展をやるそうです。彼も時代の流れに乗ったかマイケル作ってます。色んなバージョンあります。1個ぐらい欲しくなりますね。金正日もいます…。フェルト人形とか言ってかわいらしい響きですが、実際は結構ハードコアっす。

Hello Cupconians!
Here is some info and pics about the upcoming CUPCO x SUCKADELIC show at the METROPOLIS GALLERY in PHILADELPHIA from Friday December 4th!
Over 60 new Cupco Dolls including:
10 x Kim Jong Il – 10 x Soldier Girls (with Colt M4 Rifle and removeable bulletproof vest and helmet) – 6 x Space WItches – 6 x Crab Princess – 13 Michael Jackson and family (including Bubbles the Chimp) – 6 x Dennis Ferguson (Dont know who that is? Look him up!) – 6 x Ayatollahs and many more!!

Australian-based artist Cupco (Luke Temby) makes his first US appearance here at Metropolis – though he has already developed a near-fanatic following in the states for his one-of-a-kind soft sculptures. As recently featured at Christies Auction House in their Pop Cuture auctions, Cupco has created a universe of morbidly hilarious characters, taking a cartoonish swipe at world religions, pop culture and politics. Reminiscent of underground comix pioneers such as Gary Panter and Charles Burns, Cupco’s soft sculpture pieces marry mythology to Pop Art through the lens of a demented children’s show. To be added to the preview list for this show, please contact Metropolis.

CUPCO: CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE


先日日本にも遊びに来ていたLuke(CUPCO)がグループショーをやるそうです。3ヶ月ぐらいかけて100体近い人形を作ったとかで、精力的に動くなあと。あの見た目で手縫いの人形作ってるし。でもスタイルはROCK。どこでやってんだこれ?たぶんオーストラリアのどこかです。近郊な方は、是非っ。

5月14日から6月20日まで。

The show opens on Thursday 14 May at 6pm and continues until Saturday 20 June. The show is called Soft Animators and it’s on at CRAFT ACT (Australian Craft and Design Centre). It also includes Sarah CrowEST and Alan Jones and Ghost Patrol. I called my part of the show CUPCO: CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE. I’ve put together almost 100 new dolls for this show!!
