The Sucklord presents OCCUPY CYBERTRON


In his first official event since being voted off a popular reality TV show, The Sucklord will offer for sale selections from a new body of work paying homage to the Occupy Wall Street movement.

What: The Sucklord presents OCCUPY CYBERTRON
Where: END OF CENTURY, 237 Eldridge Street, NY, NY 10002
When: December 7th, 2011: 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm

OCCUPY CYBERTRON will serve as the launch event for a new line of collectible “art toys” inspired by the Occupy Wallstreet Movement. On December 7th, the Sucklord, acting as the leader of the Decepticons, will defend his vast fortunes against a solidarity protest of Autobots, which represent the 99%, in a conceptual performance art piece that will “occupy” the End of Century retail space and gallery in New York City’s Lower East Side.

Longtime Sucklord co-conspirator The Crystal Pharoah will appear for a DJ set, and Beerlao has joined the cause as a drink sponsor.

According to The Sucklord,

“In the spirit of the 1% that an evil supervillain such as myself represents, I thought the timing was ripe for Suckadelic to appropriate the Occupy Wall Street movement for my own material gain… so I made action figures of the protesters and the masters of the universe who financially control them. They make great Christmas gifts.”

A small batch of limited edition OCCUPY CYBERTRON trading cards have been produced for the event by a collaboration between Suckadelic, Appro Nation (Creators of “The Art Hustle” contemporary art and artist trading cards) and Sidekick Media (manufacturer of the Suckadelic Suckpax trading card series).

A free pack of cards will be given to anyone who attends the event in a costume relevant to the theme. The Sucklord will also be offering a limited quantity of custom art toy action figures in 8”, 3 ¾” and 3” scales for sale.

For some, the only way to visualize the surreal intersection between our spatial environment and conceptual man-made manipulations is to consume hallucinogenics. For others, like the talented Turkish artist Mehmet Ali Uysal, this ability comes naturally. Above is part of his exploration of space and context, a body of work aptly titled “Space Matters”.

Osborn: Good Design for Good Deeds

In a market increasingly inundated by “throw-away fashion” items from the likes of H&M and Forever21, it’s nice to know there are still companies dedicated to quality product and integrity of process. Osborn shoes, based outside of Guatemala City, employs 30 artisans who make each unique pair of shoes by hand.  The brand is dedicated to providing product that is sweatshop free. Instead, each artist is able to take pride in their craftsmanship–each shoe is assembled by hand and signed by it’s maker. The brightly colored flats are a perfect way to spice up any fall ensemble.
