hyperallergic: Guns, Badasses, and Art Coby Kennedy, “Vending Machine” (2011) (click to enlarge) (all photos by author for Hyperallergic) View Post A REALLY awesome review from Hyperallergic, here’s the money quote if you ask me: ‘Jorden Haley’s “Bringer ov Pain”(2013) doesn’t feature a gun in it, but the bleeding hand of Mickey Mouse could have been wounded by a gun shot. Haley puts the American icon in black face, which might offend some viewers, but he makes a critical point: overlaying that face with cryptic Wiccan, Masonic, or voodoo signs, he renders a sign of American success as violent, racialized, and enigmatically religious. Only a messy image like this could do justice to the messiness of our country’s past. And as uncomfortable and violent as many of these images are, they hold up a mirror to aspects of American masculinity we’re continually looking away from in the current debate.’ Congratulations all, thanks to the critic for his consideration and thought!
