Get On Out: Giant Robot Biennale 3 + JANM

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 figures created by Uglydoll creator David Horvath, 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.

Because I'm Just Not Done Talking About Giant Robot Yet

I keep on checking into the Giant Robot donation site and seeing where they are and just to let you know - I'm probably not going to stop doing random posts until I see them hit their mark.

Over half way there.

Giant Robot, The Japanese American National Museum, David Choe, Barack Obama, And You

Got word sent to me from Koji Sakai down at the JANM that they're giving out a really cool (and limited) gift away if you donate $40 or more to the musuem.

Check it out:

Help support a great organization! Thanks to its friends at Giant Robot, the Japanese American National Museum is giving away a limited number of posters featuring inspirational rendition of our new President, Barack Obama, by Street Artist David Choe. Signed by co-publishers, Eric Nakamura and Martin Wong, this 17" x 22" cover poster of Giant Robot Issue 57 is the Museum's gift to you when you donate at least $40.00 to the Japanese American National Museum.

As a private, nonprofit institution, the Japanese American National Museum relies upon the generosity of its friends and supporters to offer programs and services to hundreds of thousands of people around the nation.

A gift in support of the National Museum ensures that together we can make a difference by preserving and sharing the Japanese American experience. To participate and receive your special gift, just go to http://janmstore.com/grobama.html.

Cool.
