Blinky
Foxy Productions, New York
An exhibition inspired by the energy of collaboration and participation. Blinky features anarchic aesthetic ideas springing from a techno-driven culture. '80s video games, flying saucers, '60s cartoon characters, and acts of transgression for the camera are subjected to exhilarating treatments that provoke both critical and pleasurable responses to received notions of technology and history.

Foxy Productions presents Blinky, an exhibition inspired by the energy of collaboration and participation. Blinky features anarchic aesthetic ideas springing from a techno-driven culture. '80s video games, flying saucers, '60s cartoon characters, and acts of transgression for the camera are subjected to exhilarating treatments that provoke both critical and pleasurable responses to received notions of technology and history.
A Constructed World ([aka] Jacqueline Riva and Geoff Lowe) present prints, paintings and video that contemplate explosive situations and unruly forms of speaking. Developing from hacker culture, Cory Arcangel/BEIGE present silk-screened landscape studies, processed through Super Mario Brothers/Nintento code. Arcangel also exhibits a video (made with collaborator Paul Davis/BEIGE) that is programmed and played on a reverse-engineered Super Mario Brothers cartridge. Sarah Ciracì presents digital prints of UFOs that are seductively psychedelic rather than icons of social panic. Paper Rad ([aka] Benjamin Jones, Jessica Ciocci, and Jacob Ciocci) present video and prints inspired by Gumby, Arthur Cloakey's [late '50s/ early '60s] good-natured cartoon character. Paper Rad situate Gumby in a strangely familiar world where he somehow maintains his sublime innocence and spirit.
Foxy Productions is a contemporary gallery that provides a focus for inter-disciplinary practices, interactive situations and collaborative ventures. Foxy Productions is directed by Michael Gillespie and John Thomson.
