My awesome, beautiful mother, before cancer.

Dear Friend,

I am writing to you today to share with you the story of my assistant
and Preparator for Wayne State University’s art galleries, Tom
Pyrzewski.  Many of you have heard me comment on how very lucky I am to
have Tom at the galleries.  And you may have also heard me mention that
he is an outstanding young sculptor, on his way to being shown and
collected throughout the region.

Tom’s mother Mary Beth Guyor Pyrzewski, was diagnosed with cancer about
two years ago, and her very aggressive cancer has rapidly deteriorated
her condition.  In the past few months, Tom’s priority has been his
mother, and this now includes a focus on raising funds for expenses
related to her care and for future arrangements.

While this is all a bit awkward, Tom has agreed to have me share the
difficulty of his circumstances with you, so that I might assist him in
the sale of his artwork to raise the funds of which is he now in
desperate need.

Please go to www.blog.superiorbelly.com to view images of Tom’s
amazing work, and to consider purchasing work at his very reasonable prices. 
These works are powerful, have a great sense of movement,
beautiful compositions and rich patinas.  Viewers are
enthralled by these strong but elegant constructions, made from found
materials and house paint (although no one ever seems to be able to
identify the media!)  The works exude a maturity and confidence, and a
sense of struggle toward survival.

If you are interested in purchasing a sculpture by Thomas Pyrzewski
(BFA, CCS; MFA, Wayne State University), please contact him directly at
tom@superiorbelly.com.

Thank you so very much, in advance, for your kind consideration.

Lisa (Baylis Gonzalez)

PARIS HILTON IS PREGNANT

November 9th, 2007

PARIS HILTON IS PREGNANT

PARIS HILTON IS PREGNANT

PARIS HILTION IS PREAGNANT”
AN INSTALLATION BY ZAK O$TROW$KI

*CONTENT

+ RIGHT THEN

LAST JULY I PREPARED A SERIES OF DESIGN PROPOSALS FOCUSED ON A COMMEMORATIVE HALL OF FAME INTERIOR AND GRAPHICS PACKAGE FOR A PROFESSIONAL SPORTS / ENTERTAINMENT VENUE. DURING THESE STUDIES I BECAME INTERESTED IN THE “STAR POWER” CONTAINED IN A CELEBRITIES NAME. FASCINATED WITH HOW SPECIFICALLY ARRANGED GENERIC LETTERFORMS CAN CONJURE EMOTION, ALLURE, AND ENVY.

ROUGHLY SIX MONTHS EARLIER THE PHRASE “PARIS HILTON IS PREGNANT” CAME TO ME UNEXPECTEDLY. I KNEW IT WAS GOOD, BUT AT THE TIME I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT.

+ RIGHT NOW

I AM BECOMING INCREASINGLY INTRIGUED WITH EXTENDING MY WORK INTO A MORE PUBLIC SPHERE. INSERTING MYSELF INTO POP CULTURE AND FURTHERING THE GREAT BIG AMERICAN PEE-P’S ART MOVEMENT (EST. 2000 BY ZAK O$TROW$KI) MOTIVES TO ACCEPT, MOCK, MEDDLE, AND PROVOKE POPULAR CULTURE FROM THE INSIDE OUT. RECENTLY USING FASHION AS A VEHICLE FOR CONSUMER ACCESSIBLE SOCIAL COMMENTARY, I FOUND IT FITTING TO EXTEND THE “PARIS HILTION” CAMPAIGN TO THIS MEDIUM AND EXPLORE GRAPHIC DESIGN IN FASHION, AS AN INSTALLATION, RETAIL DISPLAY SYSTEM, AND AS CONTEMPORARY ART.

“PARIS HILTON IS PREGNANT” IS THE BIGGEST NEWS THAT COULD EVER HAPPEN. MORE INTERESTING THEN THE WAR, AND MORE SHOCKING THEN LAST NIGHTS HOMICIDE. ITS AMUSING, SCARRY AND FASCINATING; AND IS PAIRED WITH MY OWN BRANDING EFFORTS TO RAISE ISSUES OF OWNERSHIP, AUTHENTICITY, AND MOTIVATION.

THEMES EXPLORED:
+ OWNERSHIP / LABELS
+ SPECTACLE
+ PREGNANCY / RECEPTACLE / EXCHANGE OF POWER - IDEAS
+ STAR POWER
+ FAME / GLAMOUR
+ FASHION / SEX
+ RETAIL DISPLAY / ALTER/ INSTALLATION
+ HUMAN SIZE LOGO / EXAGGERATION
+ HUMAN INTEREST
+ NEWS / ENTERTAINMENT
+ SEMIOTICS / SYMBOLS
+ INVERTED $
+ BRANDING / PROMOTION

$Z!
