Reception September 22, 2012 - Hours to be posted. The Japanese American National Museum presents Giant Robot Biennale 3, its third show in conjunction with Eric Nakamura, owner of Asian American pop culture juggernaut Giant Robot. The expansive show features a gallery of eight emerging artists along with a customized vinyl figure collection. Following two previous successful exhibitions at the National Museum, the Biennale continues to push the envelope with a creative, fresh, and uniquely interactive experience. This year’s exhibition highlights the works of Rob Sato, Deth P. Sun, Ako Castuera, Eishi Takaoka, Saelee Oh, Sean Chao, Albert Reyes, and Zach Gage, all with long ties to Giant Robot. Each artist brings their original style, from whimsical wall paintings and creatures in clay worlds, to a life-size “haunted” maze especially built for this Biennale. Using Uglydoll creator David Horvath figures, Nakamura curated Project Remix, a custom vinyl show with over 80 artists from seven countries—including the rare combination of both established customizers and fine artists. Special additions to the exhibition include an original piece from Japanese painter Masakatsu Sashie as well as arcade machines running Jeni Yang and Beau Blyth’s new indie video game, Catburger.

One of the most consistent artists in the world is Deth P. Sun. He’s not a Steve Keene painting multiples of the same like a robot, he’s still working on individual pieces that make up a world that’s though provoking, cute, and sometimes mysterious. Why is that cat holding a knife? It echoes Yoshitomo Nara’s works that have young children doing the same. There’s ghosts, Death, and even scenery including the stars. The audience ranges from the first time art buyer to the collectors. We’ll be offering the works to the public online at 12 noon PST on tuesday Aug 30th. The link is here! We’ll post again when it’s live!


There’s another 100 photos below!
