An exhibition by Freena Kirppu & Zody Burke featuring hellscapes, manifestos, and prophecies in the form of 2D and 3D objects.

_ I SPEND MY WHOLE LIFE DRIVING IN CARS WITH GHOSTS, SPEND MY WHOLE LIFE WASTED IN BARS WITH GHOSTS

This bedroom-like feverdream installation is an obsessive and agitated ode to the American satanic-panic of the 1980s and now, and the celebrity-culture sinkhole which features fan-art style pop-culture references including Neopets characters, American pedophiles and serial killers, JoJo Siwa and the Marquis de Sade. Paintings, drawings, and sculptures are twisted and melted together in a squalid cacophony re-enactment of the artist’s dwelling.

_ LAST PIGS ON THE LEFT

This twenty-five minute psychopathic acid-death-trip of a short film by FL Pig and Rachel Slurr, in association with Roach World, takes the viewer on a hellish wander through the world of A.T.W.A.S. (Air Trees Water Animals Skanks). With a Charles Manson cover heavy soundtrack composed by Pig and Slurr, the film is an ode to the Earth, and a detestment of humankind.

_ STREET LYNX 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY GROUP EXHIBITION

These eleven paintings displayed at Street Lynx Gallery were created solely with paint and brushes from the childrens crafts sections of the mercados of Mexico City. The paintings tell a story of a crumbling world, overrun with murderous cops, drugs, oceans of psychiatric medications, and the collective mental and emotional anguish of humans (animals) on Earth. With direct references to Jeffrey Epstein and his Lolita Express, to simple displays of bleakened street scenes and ceaseless explosions, this body of work illustrates an age-regression coping-pandemic in a near-apocolyptic world. The exhibition debuted a couple weeks before the initial COVID-19 lockdown news broke in the U.S. & Mexico.

_ FREENA YISHA CONTRABAND

Freena Yisha Contraband is the two-woman collective responsible for Getting Died In The West, a country-rap tale of kratom addiction and Americana yearning, as sung and spoken by the gruesome pair in potentially offensive and under-researched Eastern European accents. Getting Died In The West was screened at Splitty Film Festival in New York City in 2022.

A second video, entitled Manifesto, was released 2 years after the debut of Getting Died, in which the girls don latex masks of George W. Bush and a BDSM gimp-pig, in order to tell the story of a mangled, horrid love affair between themselves and the country in which they live. Through performances of bikini-clad spoken word poetry, a Doors-inspired snuff-style sprint through a swamp, a nod to the great fued between Camus and Sartre, and a Lana Del Rey karaoke break, the birds’ messy tangent bleeds out a hard-to-follow but easy-to-feel delirium. Manifesto’s release was followed by an interview with Freena Yisha Contraband (unreleased).

_ MUSIC + MUSIC VIDEOS

Songs and music videos by FL Pig.
FL Pig’s songs and albums consist mostly of covers of popular songs from the likes of The Cure, Nirvana, Lana Del Rey, and more. The covers, mixed and produced entirely on GarageBand, include FL Pig’s own vocals – drowned out by cliche, overused psychedelic effects and filters – often accompanied by audio samples from serial killers Richard Ramirez and Ted Bundy. They have been described as “so cool,” “epic,” and “soooo cutee,” though the artist would prefer to paint them as “solemn odes to twisted masters; a hallucinatory diary entry from me to you; a love seed planted in a death bed.”

_ THE EJACULATING RABBIT

PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION

This 6-foot tall holy terror of a sculpture was created over the course of a few weeks from various materials including cardboard, scrap foam, plastic tubing, golf balls, and the artist’s collection of faux fur coats, torn up and patched together to create the excrably demonic skin and fur of the Ejaculating Rabbit. The Rabbit wears latex medical gloves and sits, with a poor, slumping posture, atop a mini fridge littered with “semen”-filled presciption bottles. Through a tube ending at the tip of The Ejaculating Rabbit’s penis, a mysterious white fluid, powered by a spray bottle which the viewer is encouraged to pump, can be pushed and pulsed out from its member and onto the floor. The concept behind The Ejaculating Rabbit is unclear to me, though at the time of creation, I viewed it as somewhat autobiographical.

The Ejaculating Rabbit was shown at the group exhibition entitled Call It Home at Naming Gallery (Oakland, California) in 2016.
