D IRE C TO R ’S FO R E WORD Mesh - Represents a chance to view the recent work of my colleague Daniel Edwards. This is the first time I have had the opportunity to work with Daniel on an exhibition of his work and feel very fortunate to have him as a new colleague here in the Department of Art at California State University, Stanislaus. Daniel has an astonishing record of exhibitions and has created many important and amazing public sculptures. Whether it is an up and coming Pop Star or a Civil Rights Leader his work commands respect and praise. This exhibition will highlight some of his incredible talents for us to see and enjoy.

I am very enthusiastic to be able to be part of this exhibition and to be able to share his work for others to enjoy.

I would like to thank the many colleagues that have been instrumental in presenting this exhibition, Daniel Edwards for the opportunity of exhibiting his remarkable work and David Olivant for his wonderful writing, the College of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, California State University, Stanislaus for the catalog design and Claremont Print and Copy for the printing of this catalog.

Many thanks are also extended to the Instructionally Related Activities Program of California State University, Stanislaus, as well as anonymous donors for the funding of the exhibition and catalogue. Their support is greatly appreciated.

INTRODUCTION

6

The sculptures of Dan Edwards seem post modernist to an almost doctrinaire degree and straddle a perilous but exhilarating divide between French Salon art of the mid 19th Century (which most living artists are willing to consign to the also-rans of art historical detritus) and the more recent but now flagging resources of Pop Art, supported by the fetishisation of Andy Warhol. A more abrupt collision of high and low culture is hard to imagine. The apparently effortless transference (initiated circa 2011) of Dan’s intimidating repertoire of technical resources from clay, wax and bronze to virtual tools and media was the act that has made this fusion possible.

This is clearly visible in his recent forays into relief sculpture, which conflate representations of Disney icons with graffiti and other types of signage and all the ancient cultural baggage that goes with low relief slabs. Radiation Leak Memorial shows a descent of aquatic creatures pulled from Hiroshige at the top to the Simpsons at the bottom with a possible parallel between cultural decline and the decline of environmental safety standards so startlingly revealed by the Japanese tsunami alluded to in the title. The BP Oil Spill in the Gulf Mural seems to extrapolate these concepts reducing the animal victims of the Gulf oil spill to a decorative mural format. With faint echoes of wallpaper and more distant allusions to Japanese screens the mood is tinged with sarcasm.

In most of his oeuvre Edwards has sought to systematically deconstruct not just the high-low dialectic and the museumstreet dialectic but also the entire edifice of art commerce and publicity. He exploits sculptris and its software cousins to undermine our confidence in sculptural materials. His images in this publication are deliberately labeled with oblique references to their “medium� and, if questioned on this, he would probably side-step our curiosity and suggest with some diffidence that the medium is currently ink on paper or vinyl! He has been similarly heterodox about self-promotion to such a degree that his preference for the associated press over any given gallery space as the primary forum for his sculpture reminds us of Murakami whose entire process seems an assault on the norms of promoting art.

ARTIST B I O GR A PH Y AN D S TATE M E N T Daniel Edwards (born 1965, LaPorte, Indiana) is an American sculptor whose pieces address celebrity and popular culture in ways that have often stirred controversy. The deliverance of his works are generally accompanied by press releases. He includes the idea of promotion and associative fame in self marketing of his art.

Edwards started as a mask maker in 1980 working for Death Studios in LaPorte, Indiana, where he received his first sculpture training from Jeff Keim. He sculpted the comic character Zippy the Pinhead for Death Studios in 1983 under the guidance of its creator Bill Griffith. From 1981 to 1984, many of Edwards works for Death Studios were published in Starlog, Fangoria, Cinemagic, Heavy Metal, Questar, and Playboy magazines.

In 1985, at the invitation of fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez, Edwards made his first visit to New York City. Edwards frequently spent time at Antonio’s studio from 1985 to 1986, where he was occasionally encouraged to draw alongside Antonio, from the models hired to pose for Antonio’s 1001 Arabian Nights.

In 1986, Edwards was briefly introduced to Andy Warhol by Antonio at New York’s Palladium, where Lopez and Warhol were judging a transsexual beauty contest. It was there that Antonio suggested that Edwards enroll at Warhol’s new school, The New York Academy of Art. On a scholarship paid for by Andy Warhol’s estate, Edwards attended the New York Academy of Art from 1988 to 1990, and has served on the faculty. During his student years at the academy, Edwards was studio assistant to minimalist sculptor Glen Seator.

“Though life-session portraiture remains the most pure form of sculptural expression for me, I am really enjoying other methods for exploring portraiture.

A child of the civil rights era, I came of age as a sculptor in the era of political correctness. At a time when I was creating public sculpture commissions, I felt that it was my calling to act as an artist who truly represents political correctness. As an avid visitor to the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian, I noticed the collection wanting of African-American depiction. I decided that I would create sculpted portraits of historical African-Americans that would meet the criteria for the National Portrait Gallery’s potential acquisition. The only real requirement is that the portraits should be done from life. Over a ten-year period, I have sculpted approximately 50 such portraits.

Yearning to speak about socio-political topics through my work, I decided to turn my process on its head and began doing more provocative work. The work has been considered controversial, less politically correct (but with social conscience), and the depictions are never done from life of people and subjects accessed from the Internet and media. I often think of my current work as politically incorrect monuments and public sculpture with the Internet as my gallery.”
