GIANT ROBOT BIENNALE 3 SEPTEMBER 23 – JAN 20, 2013 RECEPTION: SEPTEMBER 22, TIME TBD 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. >> JENI YANG SEE THE IMAGES ARTIST FRIEND SERIES: JENI YANG By GIANT ROBOT NEWS Since the exhibition is this Saturday, we thought we’d show you the Jeni Yang Artist...

A great event, thanks to the staff and David Horvath for helping make this all happen. WAGE! was played. If you didn’t make it, you missed out on great prizes. The chances of winning were high! Some even won twice. Behind the scenes, was a lot of preparation to make an event come off simple. We’re glad to do it every time.
