My 1998 Cadillac Deville is a mobile art unit where the vehicle’s spacious trunk will be open and used as an exhibition space. The visuals will be my idea of “GOOD TIMES” with monitors showing videos and speakers playing upbeat contemporary music. The videos are based on my childhood home in Detroit and the collection of visual data, which encapsulate my positive memories of youth. The vehicle trunk bridges the “GOOD TIMES” of the past with the current upbeat musical trends.
Artist Info
Olszewski’s provocative work – painting, sculpture, graffiti, interactive installation, performance art – deploys multiple genres, responding to a mediated culture that sells us to ourselves in headlines, trailers, image fragments and ad slogans. The work is visually acute, politically pointed, and painfully alive.
