Event Description

The Absinthe Drinkers play one of their rare gallery shows! Instead of cheap beer and surly bartenders, we'll have box wine and art!

The Absinthe Drinkers are a perfect fit with LiQin Tan’s solo exhibition featuring his fantastical and surreal animation installations, projections, and digital print series.

Tan uses spirit levels as a signal to describe a natural phenomenon in humans, where human brain development is an equalized procedure. The competing concepts of the brain--whether the battle of the brain's size versus its intellectual capacity, or of its technological versus its spiritual side--are always kept in equilibrium. In the latter art series, Tan presents himself as a digital naturalist, choosing the burl/lava as the natural art form to explore his “Digital-Primitive” theme in a multifaceted and reciprocal process: Making digital 3D images through primitive technology and materials, while also making primitive rawhide/wood/rock art through digital technology.

This exhibition of work consists of spirit-level installations alongside dozens of digital prints on metal, wood, and rawhides. There are also numerous animations projected onto suspended rawhides and LCD monitors displaying separate animations.

The Absinthe Drinkers will be transmitting their own brain-signals with their steam-pop influenced compositions about sex, monsters, and murder. The Drinkers create their songs using a laboratory-grade components including lyrics culled from ancient and modern literature, catchy sonic hooks, and copious amounts of absinthe-spiked libations. The Absinthe Drinkers do not provide absinthe at their shows, but certainly encourage the audience to BYO...
