If you are an artist from Dublin, you might be familiar with the Defastenists. Gary Farrelly was kind enough to extend an invitation to me to be a part of their collective, which is primarily artists who focus on fetish (not necessarily sexual, but just the human tendency to obsess about those things that make the individual mind spin) and the expression of those fetishes in art. We all have our own deal going on upstairs; we all want to let it trickle out in our art in some way.
Anyway, I'm excited to correspond with a talented crew such as these guys.

Electronic correspondence from Gary Farrelly, Irish expat living currently in Paris, France:
WHITETRASH AND DEFASTENIST TRANSATLANTIC ALLIANCE + KUNSTBOURSE
Defastenist artist Gary Farrelly and white-trash artist Peggy Clydesdale have commenced their trans-Atlantic obsessive art discourse via the postal system. Farrelly and Clydesdale (who is in the process of obtaining citizenship of the Kunstrepublikobsessive) commenced their aesthetic dialog several weeks ago using a network of high-powered computer servers known as the 'internet'. The 'online' conversation that ensued culminated in a rhetorical letter brimming with propaganda, bureaucracy, rhetoric and homoerotic imagery being sent to Clydesdale's headquarters in Reno. This was the first tangible manifestation of their mutual obsessive interest (MOI). Today the atelier of Gary Farrelly/ The embassy of Der Kunstrepublikobsessive in Paris are delighted to confirm that a reply has been received. An official statement from the Kunstbureau at 44 Rue Lepic said these historic words
"Today I received a phallic plastic tube containing several postcards, a handwritten message, an example of a white trash artwork and a piece of erotic jewellery. This is significant in that it commences a process towards the transatlantic triumph of Defastenism and obsessive art. I shall be replying emphatically to the phallic tube in due course and will be presenting the object to my Defastenist comrades in Dublin this coming May. I truly believe that this will be the start of a wonderful collaboration with lasting cultural consequences."

I sometimes feel like dA is pure shite, then I see some people's stuff and think: There will always be good stuff and there will always be subculture narcissists photoshopping themselves to oblivion. So I take it as it is, and I enjoy it.
just stopping by to say hey!
