Art Whino is hosting their second G40 Summit in Washington, DC. G40 presents 4 floors of sensory overload by bringing together a collection of artists from varying backgrounds. On the second floor, I have taken over my own room to plant a Lollipop Garden, an homage to springtime blooms, suckers, a dash of Super Mario influence.

Up on the third floor, you will find the Skateboard Art Show, which includes my Candy Button decks. Buy one or all three for a sweet ride.

BY REQUEST is a subversive, humorous, and celebrity-obsessed show about the Washington, D.C. art world.

For the show, seven D.C. power players--collectors, curators, and critics--were asked to fill out surveys to determine their ideal works of art. These surveys were turned over to seven different D.C. artists who pledged to deliver custom pieces.

There was one small catch: The show's ringmaster, Jeffry Cudlin, insisted that he be depicted in every work of art, thereby transforming himself into the show's biggest celebrity. The resulting outlandish images feature cross-dressing, a severed pig's head, and a pair of fake latex breasts, courtesy of an FX makeup artist.
My role was to create work designed for Philippa Hughes, founder of The Pink Line Project. Knowing that Philippa enjoys collecting artists more than art, I created a fictional street artist named TWEE, who is well on his way to fame. My cohorts in this experiment included Max Cook, Tracy Clayton, Josh Yospyn and Jeffry Cudlin(as TWEE).
You can view some of the TWEE coverage on WeLoveDC here and here, an interview with TWEE on ReadySetDC, and some wonderful pic on the Worn Magazine blog. 

BY REQUEST runs through July 31, so check out the circus before it leaves town!

Scion has launched it's 2010 Scion x-Change program, a national network or local non-profits, artists and community supporters in 30 U.S. cities. Each city has a specific non-profit for which Scion is raising money. Each of these non-profits highlights an artist they have supported. They have chosen Washington, DC's Flashpoint gallery, and Flashpoint has chosen to highlight Cory Oberndorfer.
