Dead Eyes, “The Mothership Depot” at
Redux Studios & Gallery
Oakland artist DeadEyes culminates his 2013 Artist in Residence at Redux Studios & Gallery, a creative community program within the Alameda Saint Vincent de Paul Society, with “The Mothership Depot” a solo exhibition celebrating “the key forefathers of the Black Futurist movement: Sun-Ra, a traditional jazz musician who transitioned into free jazz; George Clinton, who went from doo-wop to a self-made free-form style called P-Funk; and Lee Scratch Perry, the seminal reggae producer noted for his innovative studio techniques and production.”

Led by a fictional guide “Galacticus,” audiences of the installation and visual art made made from vintage and recycled items recognize The Mothership Depot is a space both narrative as well as illustrative of the concepts not only of reflection amid a long journey as well as recognizing inspiring legends, but as a place from which to propel, receive inspiration and “send those who are ready to leave this world behind for worlds of elevated consciousness that match their level of Funkiness.”
