An exhibition by New York-based artist group ‘MSCHF’ was held.
Mischief is an artist group founded in 2019 by Gabrielle Whaley, Kevin Weisner, Lucas Bentel, and Steven Tetro and is based in Brooklyn, New York, USA. We present limited edition works every two weeks and deliver a variety of messages regardless of genre, including art, fashion, technology, and society.
<Atom Boots> made based on abstract images, <The World's Most Expensive Bag>, a Louis Vuitton bag smaller than salt, and the devil's sneakers filled with human blood were hot topics.
This Korean exhibition was planned together with Daelim Museum and will be held from November 10 to March 31 of next year.
The 'Devil Shoes', a personalization of Nike's sneakers with famous American singer Neil Nas X, became a hot topic. Nike's famous model, the Air Max 97 sneakers, was modified, causing controversy because it contained 'a drop of human blood'. The shoes are priced at $1,018 and are said to refer to Luke 10:18 in the Bible: 'Jesus said, 'I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.'
It is said that the 'atom boots' that celebrities around the world were busy endorsing did not actually originate from atom. He said he was inspired by the American animation <Doradora English> and intended to bring the surreal images produced as the digital world expands into the real world.
He created a large oil painting of a medical bill worth 100 million won, sold it for the same amount as the bill, and paid off the owner of the bill. , the luxury brand Louis Vuitton's bags are made from crystals smaller than salt and sold at a high price. , which copies 1,000 car keys for one car and sells them for $19. A variety of works are gathered in one place.
Mischief is a joke right from its name. Meanwhile, Mischief raised questions about issues and customs of modern society and made provocative jokes. This is a group with outstanding creativity in expressing messages using objects.
It stimulates curiosity with eye-catching expressions and restructures the structure in a form that anyone can understand. Elements that are familiar to people are made to look unfamiliar by increasing their size or changing the material. By combining dismantled elements with other elements, it creates a shock with a combination rarely seen in reality.
It is difficult to approach if the elements themselves are difficult topics or the combination structure is complex, but Mischief cleverly creates objects based on easy and concise messages and jokes that anyone would have said.
If you are interested in creative expression, definitely give it a try.
