BEN SHEPARD – VITA

Ben Shepard wurde 1984 in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA geboren.


Von 2003 bis 2008 sudierte er an der Universität von Chicago und schloss sein
Studium mit dem B.A Philosophy ab.

Über seine Arbeit sagt Ben Shepard folgendes:

›Im März 2008 haben Michael Yong und ich am Design Laboratory der University of Chicago ›Linda‹ kreiert, ein Performance-Stück über eine postapokalyptische, rein weibliche utopische posthumane Gemeinschaft. Im Mai desselben Jahres erschufen wir mit ›Midway Free City‹ eine weitere temporäre Performance einer utopischen Gemeinschaft. Yong und ich haben dann zwei Drehbücher geschrieben,› The Periscope‹, eine Komödie über die Zerstörung der linearen Zeit, und ›Nobody Will Understand Your Pain‹, ein Horrorfilm über anhaltende Erregungsstörungen im Genitalbereich.

Yong und ich wurden von einem Produzenten der bekannten TV -Produktionsfirma Bad Robot in Los Angeles rekrutiert, um ›Coachella‹ zu schreiben, das als ›The Hangover für Mütter‹ lanciert werden sollte. Unser Drehbuch endet mit einer Sequenz, in der heldenhafte Mütter Säcke mit Kokain in den Windpark Coachella werfen und das gesamte Tal unter Drogen setzen. Das Drehbuch wurde nicht verfilmt.

Im Jahr 2012 kehrte ich nach Chicago zurück und begann eine experimentelle pädagogische Wohngemeinschaft namens Home School Three in Zusammenarbeit mit Laura Shaeffer und Andy Wong. Während meiner Zeit an der Home School Three begann ich, die Geschichte des Hyde Park und der South Side von Chicago zu erforschen. Das Ergebnis war das Projekt ›Kanye For Mayor 2014‹, das vorschlug, Kanye West (amerikanischer Rapper, Musikproduzent und Modedesigner, Anm. d. Übersetzers) in einer Kampagne zur Bürgermeisterwahl von Chicago als Anarcho-Kommunismunistischen Kandidaten aufzustellen. Das Projekt begann zunächst als Mundpropaganda-Kampagne, dann als Website, dann als virale Meme im Internet. Bedauerlicherweise wurde nicht Kanye West, sondern Rahm Emanuel zum Bürgermeister von Chicago gewählt.

Im Herbst 2013 begann ich mit Drew Beattie in den kürzlich geräumten Hunter College MFA Studios in Hell‘s Kitchen, New York, zusammenzuarbeiten. Diese Wahlverwandtschaft funktionierte gut, und wir brachten eine schöpferische Kraft zur Welt und nannten sie DBBS. Im Frühjahr 2014 zogen wir in den erweiterten Atelierraum neben dem Atelier von Drew in Bushwick um und begannen mit der Arbeit an großformatigen Gemälden im Hochformat. Im Bereich der Gemälde gibt es bestimmte Untergruppen: die Regalbilder, die Sandwichbilder, die Chartgemälde und diejenigen, die zu weniger namhaften Themen gehören.

DBBS war unsere erste gleichnamige Show in Storefront Ten Eyck im Juni 2015. In diesem Sommer haben wir auf mega-skaliertem Boden, welchen Drew in seinem Outdoor-Studio im Bundesstaat New York produziert hatte, die Gemälde gemalt, die im November 2015 im ›The Chimney‹ zu Purple Cycle One wurden. In Shanghai habe ich an einer Fernsehsendung über die nahe Zukunft mitgearbeitet, mich für einen Metapark eingesetzt, der vom Bund entlang des Suzhou Creek bis zum Tai-See reicht, und mit Job Zheng unter dem Namen ›Mushroom Tintoretto‹ Wandmalereien und Werbegrafiken geschaffen.“

BEN SHEPARD – VITA


Ben Shepard was born in 1984 in Charlotte, NC

From 2003 to 2008 he graduated from the University of Chicago and completed his Study with the B. A. Philosophy.

Ben Shepard says the following about his work:

›In March 2008 at the Design Laboratory at the University of Chicago, Michael Yong and I created Linda, a performance piece about a post-apocalyptic all-woman utopian posthuman community. In May of that year, we created Midway Free City, another temporary performance of a utopian community. Yong and I then wrote two screenplays, The Periscope, a comedy about the destruction of linear time, and Nobody Will Understand Your Pain, a horror film about persistent genital arousal disorder.

Yong and I were recruited by a producer at Bad Robot in Los Angeles to write Coachella, pitched as The Hangover but for moms. Our script ends with a sequence where the heroic mothers release bags of cocaine into the Coachella wind farm and dose the entire valley. The script was not produced.

In 2012, I returned to Chicago and began an experimental educational residential commune called Home School Three in collaboration with Laura Shaeffer and Andy Wong. While at Home School Three, I began to research the history of Hyde Park and the South Side of Chicago. The result was the 2014 Kanye For Mayor project, proposing that Kanye run on a campaign of municipal anarcho-communism. The project first began as a word of mouth campaign, then a website, then a viral meme around the Internet. Regretfully, Rahm Emanuel, and not Kanye West, became the mayor of Chicago.

In the fall of 2013, I began to collaborate with Drew Beattie at the recently vacated Hunter College MFA Studios in Hell‘s Kitchen, New York. The elective affinities worked out right, and we gave birth to a creative force. Call it DBBS. In the spring of 2014 we moved our operations into expanded studio space adjoining Drew’s studio in Bushwick and started to work on a body of paintings in a large-scale vertical format. Within the range of paintings, there are certain subsets: the shelf paintings, the sandwich paintings, the chart paintings, and those belonging to less namable subjects.

DBBS was our first eponymously titled show at Storefront Ten Eyck in June of 2015. That summer, on mega-scaled grounds that Drew had produced in his outdoor studio in upstate New York, we made the paintings that became Purple Cycle One at The Chimney in November of 2015.

In Shanghai, I‘ve been collaborating on a television show about the near future, advocating for a metapark to run from the Bund along the Suzhou Creek all the way to Lake Tai, as well as creating murals and commercial art with Job Zheng under the name Mushroom Tintoretto.‹
