The Art of Culture - An interview with Alfredo Salazar-Caro : "No Burgers, No Snookies"

"Zinnia"

Last week I sat down for an interview with Chicago/Dallas based visual artist Alfredo Salazar-Caro. I initially became intrigued with his work after viewing his blog and a video of his interactive piece "Sensory Deprivation Suit". I never thought I would find an artist who's collections are so in tune with some of the biggest cultural phenomena of my generation, after discovering the inspiration of Alfredo's work and the message he conveys to society, I was sure I had found my artistic soul mate. A true Art Star.

I Am All Men As I Am No Man And Therefore I Am. from Alfredo Salazar-Caro on Vimeo.

Mexico City

Art Star: Do you practice meditation? Religion?

Alfredo Salazar: I meditate. I try to do it every day; I think it's important especially living in a place like Chicago, but I am not religious at all. I believe that morality can be achieved without divinity or organized religion.

Art Star: So you draw your inspiration from your environment and meditation...any major experiences in life? Life changing?

Alfredo Salazar: I'd say that my work streams from my experiences in society mostly. I grew up in Mexico City which is very different from America, Dallas or Chicago. So a lot of my work from last year was about my experiences in Dallas as a foreigner...Home is a very interesting place for me. Mexico City is like a beautiful woman that is clutching a knife behind her back, you have to approach it very carefully to truly enjoy it. It's a very stressful place, there is always movement...I love it, even if I know it may shorten my life expectancy to live in the city, I always need that place.

The colors in [Mexico City] are bright...pinks, yellows, greens. The food is amazing, the streets always smell like food or smog...whatever. My favorite part is the culture, there is a place I used to love to go to called Plaza De Las Tres Culturas. It's this spot in Mexico City where you can see a pyramid, next to a colonial church, next to a modern building and it really showcases that richness of the culture. I'd say that all my work ultimately has a base on culture.

Pop Art

Stormalong Album Cover

Art Star: Tell me about the album cover you just did.

Alfredo Salazar: Well this cover is for my buddies solo project, Stormalong, he is from dallas. He's got this surf/tribal/tropical style.

Art Star: So did you draw some inspiration from his music or just his personality?

Alfredo Salazar: Well, I definitely drew inspiration from his music, it really makes me want to go out and sail around. Also, the name stormalong comes from the show flapjack. It's a show about this kid that wants to be an adventuring pirate, Captain Knuckles.

Art Star: Do you work from both ends of the spectrum, creating from more modern culture art or experimenting with heavier elements?

Alfredo Salazar: Yeah, I like pop because it's easy, and it's immortal. Pop will never die. No matter how far we go in the future, culture will continue and hence pop will continue. It's also an escape from the more cerebral work that I do. I put a ton of thought into my main body of work and it can get exhausting, so I vent by making silly album covers, prints, and street art.

As Fake as it gets

Art Star: You also make models of processed food.

Alfredo Salazar: They are casts actually, Big Macs.

Art Star: What message are you trying to send to the people about what we ingest?

Alfredo Salazar: Well, to say that processed is bad for you is kind of an overstatement, so I wanted to take it a step further…silicone hamburgers. It's as fake as it gets.

Alfredo Salazar: It's really about superficiality, when we eat at McDonalds the experience is extremely superficial there is no intimate relationship with our food anymore, you just get in line, get your food, eat your food, and walk out. The patties have been frozen for months, packed with chemicals and stuff, and we don't even think about it.

Art Star: So do you try to stay away from stuff like this? Processed foods, Jersey Shore, things that basically microwave deep experiences?

Alfredo Salazar: Absolutley, I hate the Jersey Shore, I don't understand how people can find that entertaining, I'm also a vegetarian so no burgers for me. No burgers and No Snookies.

The Shock Doctrine

Alfredo Salazar: The Sensory Depravation Suit was more rooted in my interest for psychology

Art Star: Have you worn the suit yourself?

Alfredo Salazar: Never actually, wouldn't want to go through that.

Art Star: Why? Are you afraid of the experience?

Alfredo Salazar: Not afraid, I just prefer the observer role for this kind of work, it's really an extremely experimental piece for me in a very literal sense.

Art Star: What are the typical reactions made after wearing it?

Alfredo Salazar: It's very constrictive; the way it works is that your touch becomes translated into sound which in turn substitutes your vision, so it's a very frustrating experience…from what I’ve heard. The suit is also padded, so it's dark and warm and there is no way of unzipping it from within, so once you are in, you are in.

Art Star: That's deep, were there any particular psychological studies you turned to, experiences or stories that prompted you to create this suit?

Alfredo Salazar: yes, I've always been interested in 'mind altering' experiences so I focused on the study of perception for about a year and then about 3 months ago I came across a book called The Shock Doctrine. It talks about the experiments that the CIA conducted [still conducts] during the 60's and 70's to try to erase a person's mind. Sensory deprivation chambers were used, the idea is that after a period of 72 hours of sleep/sensory deprivation, the subject experiences vivid hallucinations. At this point the experimenter would be able to introduce thoughts that would become embedded in the subjects mind, some inception shit.

Sensory Depravation/ Synesthesia Suit 1 from Alfredo Salazar-Caro on Vimeo.

Future Projects

Art Star: What projects are you working on now? Any artists you admire that you'd like to work with? Any mediums you'd like to experiment with in the future?

Alfredo Salazar: I'm working with my friend David Cox ( a grad student at SAIC) on a little project about white trash, it's going to be a robotic kiddie pool basically. He grew up in Kansas; I lived in Dallas so venting about the south's trash culture was bound to happen. The pool will be mounted on a robotic base and it will react to people's presence in the gallery, you'll see it later this year.

Alfredo Salazar: I admire…Olafur Elliason who offers a residency program in Berlin, I'm going to apply to it after school, and also Luis Gispert. Luis Gispert is a guy that I'm keeping track of right now; he's based out of NY. I met him earlier last year and I might be working for him this summer.

See it for yourself

Art Star: Where are you showing right now? Where can we find you and your past collections?

Alfredo Salazar: I have a couple of shows lined up here in Chicago, one at a gallery called Cat Cave and one at Happy Dog…that will be later this year, march-april. I have some stuff at Maxwell-Collette gallery here in Chicago also, some burgers, I showed them alongside Banksy's and Shepard Fairey. It was rad.

My collections are mostly in Dallas, there's a piece of mine at Brookhaven College and there is a piece on Commerce street at a town home across from 500X.

[Amuse-Bouche] Interview with Sojung "Sue" Yang of designer duo Elli Grace

[Lamarr Nanton and Sojung "Sue" Yang, Desginers/Owners of Elli Grace]

Upon entering Elli Grace, a befittingly intimate boutique in the upbeat section of Plano's Willowbend Mall.We find Sojung "Sue" Yang, steadily responding to customer inquires whilst surrounded by, what every girl's inner child would respond to as the embodiment of "The Secret Garden", in retail form.

Flirty feminine color palettes, touches of tulle, and jeweled embellishments fill the racks and my senses,as I sit down.After working as an intern with her and Lamarr Nanton, the second half of this duo, for the past six months,I knew it was time for me to find out the inspiration behind the beauty.

Sue and Lamarr have each greatly established their individual consciousness of art and fashion.
Having their hands drenched in not only the fine arts such as painting[Sue graduated from Parsons school of Design], but music as well [Lamarr played the trumpet for jazz, reggae, and rock bands]. This of course crossed over into their carriers; both have worked respectively with fashion houses such as Giorgio Armani,Donna Karen, and Manuel Designs, where the connection began.
Working somewhat parallel while at Manuel Designs, the designers experienced traveling and the fashion industry from all over the globe for about four years together.A majority of this time was spent in Italy, where the influence of "heavy-hitters" , like Fendi and Tom Ford, pattern-makers and factories solidified the concepts of understanding appropriate attention to detail and quality.These foundations set the precedence for what Elli Grace was meant to be.

[Elli Grace Boutique in Willowbend Mall]

Named lightheartedly after Sue's two dogs, Elli Grace started in February 2009, founded on the idea of forward thinking designs with the intimacy of high-end retail [ The designers create what you see in-store!].Although all of these luxurious ideals have established a significant part of Elli Grace, the other half of this concept is to have this kind of fashion available at an extremely approachable price, with a wearable commitment in mind as well.

[Both designers hard at work on the current collection; Illustrations by intern Tori Hopkins]

When inquired about the inspiration behind the boutique's current holiday collection, Sue resonated with this season's runway shows,Victoria's Secret being one example, having a certain fairy-tale jungle theme, creating a mixture of edgy- chic yet feminine, romance.This seems to play out in the collections use of lace details, animal print pieces, and jewel tones mixed with the labels signature elegant flower patterns. "The Elli Girl is girly with attitude; versatile and whimsical ", states Sue.
Another point that stands to be mentioned is the subtle yet defining essence of background that each collection seems to touch on, season after season.Abstracted watercolor prints are a uniquely reoccurring theme, from blouses to totes.Hailing from South Korea, Sue's eye for cutesy characters and accessories show the subliminal, yet totally supporting influence of her background.

[Finale dress from Elli Grace Holiday 2010 Runway Show]

The last question posed to Sue was her commentary on where the fashion industry is currently."Minimalism is big this season", says Sue,"[However],I wish there was more excitement." The encomony has had a huge infulence on what people are willing to spend money on, and it seems that basics have made the consumer's "only list". With a very upbeat outlook and adding just the right personal touches to every peice, Sue finds herself bringing back the uniqueness and, meaning of fashion to retail.
Within the next twelve years she also sees Elli Grace branching out into different locations, at a level that retains that same customer connection, with all of the Elli Grace girls of the nation.

With such a unique concept and true understanding of their clients, I'm sure that the Elli Grace following will promptly flourish even more so over the coming years!

[MAYNE.Course]: Interview with ATL's Attila frontman Fronz.

Attila's stint in "The Durty-D", [well.Forth Worth to be technical] was a round-house kick in the city's proverbial metal mandibles.Forever representing their unique form of "southern hospitality",things got fairly belligerent when beat-laced tracks such as "Temper", "Soda in the Water Cup", and "Lights Out" filled the venue.
Along with that PARTAY[AYE.AYE] all the time mentality.
Fortune enough, I was able to catch up with vocalist, Fronz, preceding what was sure to become a night of 21st birthday shenanigans.
This interview's pretty grimy but.
[THAT'S THE POINT.THAT'S THE POINT.]

[Amuse-Bouche]Trunk Show Interview W/Ryan Roberts

[The Prequel]
Upon meandering into Nuvo, a boutique located on Cedar Springs [that after 23 years, still seems to permeate my fondest memories of Dallas.Past and present apparently]

[Designer Ryan Roberts]

We found their most current of imports,Ryan Roberts.
A Canadian bred, 12 year L.A. based designer of contemporary,yet timeless women and menswear. Decked in effortlessly understated flavor, not too far paralleled from his own line, we discussed inspirations, connotations, and translations of the concepts implemented into his featured trunk show collection.

The ideal mentality pushed behind Robert's designs is that of , "The simplistic Jet-Setter".
"Nothing's overstated", says Roberts.Which rings true.
Each piece is constructed with the utmost attention to appropriate detail. Using his background in mostly menswear to incorporate said structure and tailoring into a more comfortable, feminine perspective .
Adding key touches, such as Italian boiled wools and well established Swiss hardware, give a vibe of easy luxury.

Though his designs have crossed the international waters of Japan and London.
The key influences this season are the flavors and color palette of Morocco, a recent destination experienced by the designer.

[Ryan Roberts F/W 2010 Womens Wear]

[Second set of womens F/W 2010 collection]

Evoking the "washed tobaccos,olives,preserved lemon, and eggplant" hues seen in the current collection.

Further subtle "Puddy" shades and geometric patterns, inspired by the same country, will be incorporated in the upcoming S/S collection as well.

Functionality is another checkpoint in Ryan Roberts concept.With the social state of mind taking heed to a desire for more versatility and practicality when investing in key pieces, Roberts has incorporated aspects of reversible functions and an ease in transporting.

[Jessie coat.F/W 2010]

[Chris vest.F/W 2010]
The Jessie coat and Chris vest are prime examples.

Ryan's mens line is in no way shape of form inferior.The same attention to detail is given and thus leaves his clients feeling nothing short of well put together,even in the most casual of settings.
Another point of reference to the wearer of his designs would be,"Someone who is interested in fashion,[but] not overwhelmed by it", states Roberts.
Interested indeed.
The use of materials such as memory holding taffeta and sculptural wiring details give a nod to the innovative rapidness of technology and fashion becoming more than.
Just acquaintances.

Knowledge is power Ryan.
And with that state of mind?
You'll stay forever, as a resonating force to be reckoned with in the fashion world.

More information on pieces mentioned here and about the designer can be found at.

The Inspiration

Ryan Roberts fall 2010 collection is a direct reflection of the simplistic qualities of his spirit, perspective and antiquity. He asserts that he has a “story”, one of modesty and pleasure, a paradox he gracefully narrates through his works.

While conversing with Ryan he recounted the time he spent in his first job serving tea to customers at an inn and that his family is a group of distinct entrepreneurs. “Providing” for others has always been a part of his mission, which is portrayed in the distinct and wearability of his classic pieces. He’s inspired by “family stories”; describing members of his collection as a “trusted friend” he considers himself a clothing designer not a fashion designer, always keeping the day to day reality of the wearer in mind. His work is not merely a reflection of his perspective as an individual.

Shira Dress - Fall 2010

Jaclene Shift - Fall 2010

Although born abroad Roberts most admires the work of Claire McCardell, an artist who emerged during the Second World War and created “Very American” designs. Because of fabric shortages during the war she was forced to keep things “simple” but it is these sorts of understatements that Roberts finds most charming and although having an abundance of fabric available to him he opts for timelessness over opulence as he weaves classic American culture into his work.

Wrap Cardigan - Fall 2010

Relating his design choices to tactile experiences, he notes that he wants the wearer to have some sort of cognitive response to his collections. He compares the pleasurable encounter you may have when being surrounded by his textiles to the comfort you may also possess when indulging in a warm and balanced culinary dish. Once introduced to his fall 2010 collection I was surrounded by a multitude sensory enjoyment. The rich scents of chocolate and caramel collaborating subtly with cinnamon and sandalwood accompanied by smooth and “easy” hints of calm were ultimately satisfying.

Lighter notes of this deep blend will be seen in his 2011 spring collection which focuses on the “graphicness of geometric shapes” and the boldness of neutrals while experimenting with the smooth and natural drape that conveys the ultimate romanticism of spring.

Jazz Fusion: A Conversation with Marcus Roberts

This sound reminded me of mint chocolate...

While listening I closed my eyes and envisioned a park set in the fall, surrounded by trees, golden-red leaves brushing through the cool breeze. I was listening to jazz, damn smooth jazz at that. Music meant to heal the listener. With “He’s always been there” on replay, I was waist deep in sentiment and reflection that put my daily stresses on hold and opened up the door to attainable bliss. Marcus Roberts creates a story that draws from his experiences while remaining universal, “I want to basically be transparent and let people into my head. I figure people are basically the same and some stuff I go through and overcome can help you with situations you come to.”

Marcus, head pianist for the Marcus Roberts Trio, “grew up less fortunate” than a lot of the musicians he’s worked with and throughout his success he still remains humble. “I respect the things I’ve achieved a lot more. I really thank God for puttin’ me in situations that made me work for my skills.” Most of the artists he’s “shared the stage with” received music lessons at an early age and “were cultured in music their whole adolescence”, but Roberts bears a history that yields the most unique creativity, the kind listeners can relate with.

Inspired by the likes of artistic greats such as Michael Jackson, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, and Stevie Wonder, Marcus infuses classic and contemporary sounds. Under the name Mavrick Traxx, Marcus cooks up R&B and Hip-Hop styled beats, his goal being that secular artists become inspired and “get back to creating music that means something and makes you feel a certain way.”

There is nothing certain like the high you feel when great artists work together to create a piece that is profoundly satisfying. I have a huge appreciation for mash-ups, the type of music that’s mainstream, but can’t be aimlessly thrown into the pop genre because it’s that deep. Marcus serves this type of collaboration; he has worked with national artists from Montel Jordan, Ray J, and Eric Roberson to local and indie artists like Algebra Bassett, and Choklate. “I like working with others because of the different musical conversations that occur.”

These “conversations”, not to be confused with lectures, the type of shallow music that's merely "good" to listen to, (When music should remain multifaceted) can be found on Marcus’s upcoming jazz record entitled “3”. You can also find Marcus Roberts and a host of Hip-Hop artists at Park in Downtown Dallas on September 30 for “The Cipher”, the first in a series of Thursday night performances as a part of the Green Bandana Project: So hot you need a password.

Behind The Freedom: An Interview with Raymond Butler

We sit down and talk real street art, book stores, Taekwondo gyms, and how to make it in the Dallas art scene with young up-and-comer Raymond Butler.

This is the second in our interviews of artists leading up to the grand opening of the Green Bandana Project Friday July 30th at the Arts Apartments in Dallas' newly renovated arts district. Click here for the first one.

Art Star: What motivates you to be an artist?

Raymond Butler: Street art. Lots of street art. Not sculptures and commissioned work done by muralists, but illegal work.

Art Star: Why street art?

Raymond Butler: Cause that stuff seems more free.. no rules. And most of those guys I think do it just to do it because they’re not gettin paid

AS: What media are you into right now?

RB: Mixed media, but I love oil paint.

AS: Who do you think is (are) revolutionizing art?

RB: All the street artists like bansky, invader, shepard fairey and others like them because they are using the streets as there canvas, It is like they are taking us back to cave man times; writing on walls leaving history for all to see -but in a more advance way.

AS: Where do you stand with art as a career? Full time? Part time with a random side job? How have you been able to make it over the years? Advice for the starving artist?

RB: I do art part time and work part time but I want art to be full time cause it’s a passion not a hobby. To make it as an artist I think you have to have drive and no fear. You have to put yourself out there and make it happen not wait for it. That’s been working so far for me. I have an art crew called the Peanut Gallery and we put on our own shows around Dallas.

AS: Where have been some of the places ya'll have shown?

RB: Deep ellum at a retail shop called the In Accord, Coco Andre in the Bishop Arts District, Soda Pop Gallery also in the Bishop Arts District, a backyard, a Taekwondo gym, any where we can find.

AS: What are your thoughts about the dallas art scene?

RB: Very slow. I go in major book stores and can’t find the art sections because they are soooooo small or they don’t have one anymore. I think Dallas artists need to get together more and have art events and let people know there is life in this city.

AS: If you were a sticky note what would you be stuck to and what would it say?

RB: Foreheads "Live Free Die Happy"

AS: Is there anything else that you would like to tell our readers about you art or about you personally?

RB: Most of my work is surrealism and it comes from my over active imagination. When people see my work I want them to smile because I think art has become waaaaay to sirius so I hope I'm the artist that leaves an impression on your face.

Behind The Pink Hair: An Interview With Jen Shu

Art Star has been interviewing several artists leading up to the grand opening of the Green Bandana Project Friday July 30th at the Arts Apartments in Dallas' newly renovated arts district. Consider it an update to our Clicking Around With Music series

Art Star sits down with photographer Jen Shu and talks about making it as an artist, the Dallas art scene, Lady Gaga, sticky notes and more.

Art Star: What motivates you to be an artist?

Jen Shu: The world, the people, and the creation around me...it is like a sensory overload that I try to capture in one photo or project.

Art Star: Can you tell us a little bit about your creative process?

Jen Shu: My process usually starts internally with an idea or a spark of an image in my mind, and from there I'll either write it down or immediately start thinking of how to create it. For example, on a family photo shoot, sometimes I'll get an idea in my mind, and immediately begin to make it happen. Other times, with more complex projects - I stew for hours on one thing and watch it unfold.

AS: How do you think your art has evolved over the past year?

JS: I think I've begun to really create with more of a purpose in mind....to really bring to life the ideas & creativity that is within. AND I feel that I'm starting to narrow down what I'm really good at. I'm also continuing to make sure that my CLIENTS voices & visions are heard before my own. I've really been taking the time to listen and create more and more.

AS: What's your favorite camera to use?

JS: I have recently begun using the 5D....and LOVE IT. It gives me a creative range that I've not had before...and I've only had it a month! The images are so different than all my other cameras combined!

AS: So pink is sorta your signature color, how did that come about?

JS: It was funny! When the singer Pink first came out, I dug her look, but it was not time for me to "go there". My inspiration came from a friend of a friend who had her hair a gorgeous magenta. I had felt like I wanted to go with that color for a while, and after asking her how she did it? I jumped out and did it. It has become my "normal" color ever since. I did a lot of research on the color before doing it! :)

AS: Who do you think is (are) revolutionizing art?

JS: My FIRST inspiration was and always will be Blue Man Group. Their simplistic view on sensory overload led me to this path where my creativity began to flow. It reminds me to approach art with a child-like manner...and not take it too serious.

My 2nd and more current inspiration has been Lady Gaga. She is sensory overload on STEROIDS. She is a living, walking & breathing art piece to me. I have never been so opened to watching someone live their dream and make things happen on a regular basis, regardless if anyone understands it, SHE as an artist making it happen. (In so many ways!)

AS: I love Lady Gaga. What are your thoughts on the Dallas art scene?

JS: I think the Dallas art scene is something I am only just now exploring and getting to know. I know that from what I've seen so far, I would like to see MORE of what Dallas has to offer.

AS: Where do you stand with art as a career? Full time? Part time with a random side job? How have you been able to make it over the years? Advice for the starving artist?

JS: I was laid off from my full-time job in 2008 to become a photographer full-time. I am mostly able to do what I do with the support of my husband. To do what we do, you HAVE to be motivated, dedicated and willing to learn things you wouldn't normally learn! If you are a single (unmarried) artist - I say, if this is your calling - make it happen! Your lifestyle doesn't have to be extravagant to live your dream. If you are married or have a partner to fund you? All the better! I just encourage EVERYONE to follow their dream and do whatever it takes! It is the most fulfilling thing you will do here on earth. :)

AS: If you were a sticky note what would you be stuck to and what would it say?

JS: Ok if I were a sticky note....I would be stuck to God...and it would say..."gotcha". :)

AS:Is there anything else that you would like to tell our readers about your art or about you personally?

JS: My vision and my mission...is to inspire you, encourage you and help you to aspire to be all you can be. I attempt to express this in all the art forms that I flow in...and when I work with people. I truly am there to help you! When my budding art pieces come out in this next year, I actually hope to inspire even more than before so that what is in my heart WILL translate effectively to the eyes seeing them. You won't wanna miss it. :)

You can check out more of Jen Shu’s work here. And meet her in room 6050 at Green Bandana Project.
