The "About" Page etc.
[This is the work-in-progress of a manifesto of sorts, to go on the gapingvoid “About” page. Let me know your thoughts in the comments, Thanks!]
“art for entrepreneurs”. about gapingvoid: cube grenades. hugh and jason. etc.
Some people make art for the “Art World” crowd- the art snobs, the idle rich, the tax dodgers and the social climbers. People with too much time on their hands.
Others make art for the masses. Schlocky feel-good stuff. Nothing too challenging, just looks pretty and familiar.
gapingvoid does neither.
gapingvoid makes “Art For Entrepreneurs”. The person who quit her nowheresville cubicle job, turned her second bedroom into an office and took out a second mortgage to fund her dream. Or the person in the large corporation, determined to shake things up big-time.
The person with fire in their belly. Who decided to go for it, or die trying.
We make art for that person.
If you’re that person, we want your business. If you’re not, we don’t need your business, no offense.
We’re on a mission:
gapingvoid creates “Cube Grenades”:
“Cube Grenades” are cartoons designed to affect change i.e. art designed to be hung up on office walls (e.g. “cubicles”), in order to cause little cultural disruptions i.e. little explosions (“grenades”) inside the organization.
i.e. Art designed to be hung up in that second bedroom. Art to remind us what’s really important.
