Launching today at Art Market San Francisco, The Skateroom collaboration is an evolution of the DIY silk screened skateboard I began making in the 90’s, as an art canvas that could go on four wheels or a wall. These new boards are more refined art pieces, but the spirit of skateboard culture is what drives this new collaboration. ‘No Future’ is a response to the election of Trump. My art is usually social and political regardless of who is in the White House, but my concerns and frustrations are amplified by the election of Donald Trump. I joked while Trump was campaigning that his slogan should be ‘Manifest Density,’ a parody of ‘Manifest Destiny,’ which was an embarrassingly egotistical pronouncement by rich white men that it was God’s desire for them to conquer ocean to ocean in the territory that would become the United States. Trump appealed to an uninformed electorate who looked for scapegoats and were driven by most likely one or more of the dark impulses listed in the image. I’m pushing for a future where those impulses have no place and definitely no traction. Let’s move forward, not backward!
You can purchase my series, along with The Skateroom’s collaboration with legendary artist Ai WeiWei, exclusively on theskateroom.com or during Art Market San Francisco. Set of 3 hand screen printed 7-ply Canadian maple skateboards. 31 inches x 8 inches. Limited edition of 450. Following The Skateroom business model, 20% of profits from this edition will be donated to a cause having an impact on society. For this collaboration, I’ve decided to support The Amplifier Foundation, an art machine for social change.
