Now in its 7th installment, this revolutionary art tour kicks off 2011 in Los Angeles. Since its inception in 2003, Scion Installation has raised over $250,000 for art

charities and non-profits. Building on the success of last year’s tour, Installation 7 again focuses on the video medium, which emerged in the 1960s and has since

expanded galleries into more experimental, kinetic and interactive spaces. Installation 7: Video challenged artists to create non-narrative video installations that will

eventually transform five unique exhibitions in Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Wichita, Minneapolis and Austin.

okinawa ‘96

“When I first decided what I was going to make for this project, I wanted to go dig through old footage that I’d filmed when I

attended high school in Okinawa, Japan in 1996 and make a dedication to that moment in time. Upon going through the old

footage I discovered something totally unexpected and haunting that not only reshaped this project entirely, but challenged my

memories. Could these ‘Lost Moments’ and ‘Ghosts of the Past’ have always been there? And are they still following me today?

I’m not sure, but I invite you to take this journey with me.”

DaviD Choe Presents risk at Basel 2010

“This video is a short time lapse video of legendary graffiti artist RISK freestyling a wall at Art Basel in Miami. There were many

talented artists from around the world at Art Basel. Many legendary artists congregated in the Wynwood Art District. In typical

fashion, RISK grabbed some cans and impressed the crowd with an incredible impromptu piece.”

David Choe

In a career spanning 27 years, RISK has impacted the evolution of graffiti as an art form in Los Angeles and worldwide. RISK

gained major notoriety for his unique style and pushed the limits of graffiti further than any writer in L.A. had before: He

was one of the first writers in Southern California to paint freight trains, and he pioneered writing on “heavens,” or freeway

overpasses. At the peak of his career he took graffiti from the streets and into the gallery with the launch of the Third Rail series

of art shows, and later parlayed the name into the first authentic line of graffiti-inspired clothing.

DaviD ChoeDavid Choe, a Los Angeles native, is one of the youngest artists to have a solo show at the MOCA. Diverse and talented, Choe uses his talent to create art on any

surface, including canvases, humans, and historic third world war-torn walls. Choe has lectured at renowned universities such as Princeton and Duke and published

award-winning books. For Choe, the creative process is part of the narrative journey. “I don’t even know what the outcome is gonna be, but that’s part of the process.

The journey has been amazing so far!” Choe uses his memories from his childhood, African jungles, and hitchhiking across the world to create multi-layered works

to create uncontrollable raw energy. Through rustic portrayals of eating, praying, crying, and dying, Choe explores cycles of regeneration in both the self and human

nature as a whole. His art constructs narratives of his passions for animals and food and of his quests for peace and redemption. Choe’s experimental techniques

consequently become an unpredictable fusion of various mediums, transforming the gallery into a personal environment of idiosyncratic expression and breaking

ground in both subject matter and medium. Choe brings his visceral adaptations of pain and beauty to his art.

“Concentrating on things that “pop!” in a variety of ways, our video highlights acts of presentation and interaction using simpli-

fied vocabulary, repetition and bright colors. Aesthetically somewhere between instructional video and infomercial, this work

follows our interest in clichés by employing a range of popular video tricks. We were also interested in creating a “still life” that

moves…ever so slightly.”Gluekit

air DanCers

“Air Dancers was conceived on the first day of a college 3D animation course I would eventually drop a week later. At the time,

I was also enrolled in a video class and both were such a heavy load that they couldn’t possibly be taken simultaneously. Forced

to choose, I shelved the 3D class and Air Dancers with it, only to bring it back 8 years later, predictably, as a live-action video.

Both parodying and critiquing a (somewhat) bygone pre-recession era of over-produced, low concept music videos, this was a

great opportunity to create something fun that glorified limited resources. Embracing the childhood notion that whenever you’re

not watching inanimate objects, they take on a life of their own, this video is an exploration of what these civic fixtures must all

be doing on the holidays when every tire shop, mechanic, and linen outlet is closed and observing.” Matt Goldman

“Life Coach is a stream of consciousness collection of film, stop motion and traditional animation elements that were created

in Los Angeles and Chicago (with stops in Virginia, Wisconsin, Salt Lake City and London) over a period of a few weeks. Using

geometric shapes, quiet outdoor scenes and a minimal color palette, we experimented with abstract and sometimes absurdist

ways of delving into themes of hope vs. doom, euphoria, boredom, solitude, anxiety, apocalypse and rapture.” Cody hudson & Jared eberhardt

Music: La Femme

Cody Hudson, also known as Struggle Inc., is a Chicago-based graffiti artist. Infamous for the production of clean, multi-dimensional graphics, Cody’s design aesthetic

is part urban modernism and part organic visual deconstruction. His graphic work and paintings have been exhibited throughout the US, Europe and Japan including

the Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago), New Image Art (LA), Rocket Gallery (Tokyo), The Lazy Dog (Paris), & Andrew Rafacz (Chicago). In 2006, Cody was

commissioned by the City of Chicago Public Art Program to create a permanent installation at the Sox/35th CTA station as part of the Arts in Transit Program. Cody’s

work has been featured in numerous magazines and publications including idN, Arkitip, Anthem & Juxtapoz.

Jared Eberhardt grew up in Salt Lake City, skateboarding, snowboarding and listening to anything on Dischord. After realizing he wasn’t going to be a professional

skateboarder, he turned toward photography and design as a way to keep in touch with his friends and satisfy his passion for skateboarding and snowboarding. His

work in his basement studio led to him becoming a Design Director at Jager DiPaola Kemp and eventually a Creative Director at Burton Snowboards. Sometime in

2007 he decided to pursue a career as a full-time director and has since developed a style based on his love for crafting things. He has an ever growing body of work

for various clients and friends including Nike, Puma, Intel, Sub Pop, Lego, Vans, Nixon, Footlocker, MTV, Sony, Adobe, Subway, Target and Alfa Romeo. He currently

lives in Los Angeles and is represented worldwide by Partizan.

“We think very little of time present; we anticipate the future, as being too slow, and with a view to hasten it onward, we

recall the past to stay it as too swiftly gone. We are so thoughtless, that we thus wander through the hours which are not here,

regardless only of the moment that is actually our own.” Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)the london Police

The London Police started when big English geezers headed to Amsterdam in 1998 to rejuvenate the visually disappointing streets of the city. The motive was to

combine traveling and making art to create an amazing way of life not seen since the days of King Solomon. Known for their iconic LADS characters and precision

marking, TLP have recently celebrated 10 strong years in the art world and their work has graced streets and galleries in 35 countries during this time.

London policemen have come and gone, but founding members are still known to walk the streets of every city in the world spreading love with pens and stickers.

The current duo have managed to form a partnership more cohesive than Han Solo and Chewbacca in Star Wars and are continuing to produce slick artwork that is

tighter than a butler’s cuff. Never be scared, don’t be a hero and let the good times roll.

“Stormy night, stars, scary flowers, strong winds, red trees and a pink beastie. Lightning strikes, there’s a charge in the air,

crickets chirp, and loons call beware, a faint sound of bag pipes drifting on a draft and mysterious rumbling a way off, glowworms

glimmer and soar through the stratosphere, pinkness and redness together in the fracas, falling or flying, there is magic afoot.”

in Applied Art and Design in 1980. After graduating, Osborne entered the advertisement industry, eventually opening her own design firm in 1991. She’s had the

opportunity to exercise her talents on various projects including trade show designs to book and web designs. Osborne designs for a schizophrenic array of clientele

from doctors, retail clothing stores, architectural firms, museums, galleries, magazines, pet supplies, yoga instructors, private investigators, accounting firms, personal

assistant services, marketing and pr firms… for industries from the garment industry, the carpet industry, the entertainment industry, the music industry to the

hospitality business. Osborne distinguishes herself by, applying her own unique perspective on the world on each project she is involved with. It’s clear that she loves

her work and has fun making things with images, shapes and typography. Currently she lives in Los Angeles with a husband and four dogs. She likes to scramble

through the brush with her dogs in the Santa Monica Mountains, play with her two ancient printing presses and practice as much yoga as possible.

PoPCorn the Cat exPlores a MaGiCal, wilD BaCkyarD

“Description of making the video: I went outside to play around with some animation tests on a beautiful day when there was

a little break in the rainy weather. A small stray cat I had recently adopted, named Popcorn, kept invading and investigating

everything I tried to do, so I eventually gave in and decided to follow him around instead. He was so restless that I thought it

would be funny if his curiosity was never satisfied, and he ended up narrowly missing each little magic moment as he explored

the wild backyard. The music is a lost classic by guitarist Don R. Auten, that I became obsessed with listening to during this

same stretch of rainy days.”souther salazar

Known in the commercial art world as SSUR©, New York’s OG visionary Ruslan Karablin has been an endless personage in The City’s Downtown Art Scene for

nearly two decades.

Born in Soviet Ukraine, Karablin immigrated in 1975 to New York’s Coney Island, Brooklyn at the age of 5. Coney Island set the stage for what would be Karablin’s

underlying theme in so much of his work, being a poignant inspiration not only because of its romantic fantasies, but also life as seen through his eyes and a

childhood spent in an impoverished minority environment (The Hood). Culture clashes, world travels, and everyday struggle are elements which resonate in the

SSUR© lifestyle.

SSUR© has created, signature pieces for Supreme, Kangol, DC Shoes, Medicom Toy Japan, Boost Mobile, KidRobot, Swatch, Converse and others. Encompassing

popular culture, Hip Hop, eclectic music, Russian heritage, The Black Hand, social consciousness and Revolutionary Iconography, SSUR© is the champion of the

anti-hero of modern day urban myths. www.ssurempirestate.com
