Dan (D3N!@L) Bombardier
CREATIVE DESTRUCTION
June 22–August 18, 2012

Windsor’s own Dan Bombardier (AKA D3N!@L) will be paint bombing the walls of our gallery, filming the process and then exhibiting the work and video of the process through August, along with select D3N!@L Objects D’art. This is a one of a kind show, and a great kick off for Artcite’s summer 2012 programs, including Artcite’s Summer Art Fringe 2012 to take place during the second half of July.

DENIAL, or “D3N!@L” is a Canadian graffiti and mixed-media artist. His moniker is a phonetic mix-up representing his first name, and by definition, pokes fun at modern advertising, politics, and media messages that society is often “in denial” about. DENIAL is known for his prolific guerrilla-marketing campaigns, which take public aim at ideas involving social-justice, pop-culture, mass-media, and “New World Order” conspiracy theories. With over 500,000 of his adhesive logos displayed in public places around the world, the DENIAL PROJECT has become a conceptual piece of marketing absurdism. DENIAL intends to challenge traditional ideas about graffiti and public art, as well as the excessive corporate use of public space.
