Matthew Debbaudt in “Motion Pictures”
July 14-August 11, 2017
BLUEorange is proud to present the epic telling of Motion
Pictures, a “so low” show featuring the new drawings and
paintings of Matthew Kelly Debbaudt (MFA 2015).
“rumor has it, that sometime in the year twenty fifteen, matthew
kelly debbaudt’s imaginary penis was brutally severed at
fingerprint by some kind of dark menacing demon. supposedly, the
massive loss of blood catapulted him into a very deep coma.
trapped in his own head, for some reason, he transformed into
“KNOWBODY” — his no longer dormant superego imp.
KNOWBODY would only wear a box on his head and wold think only
inside the box. locked in a bleak subconscious void, KNOWBODY
follows the only thing there is to follow-a brick path extending
in one direction to no end. as he journeys down this path of
incomprehensible, sexless negativity and despair, he is
eventually led to a giant monolithic “screen” (the place of
sanctuary and solitude that would later become know as
“KNOWHERE”, the city inside his mind). hypnotized and mesmerized
by what looks to be a swarming, seething static of human forms
colliding, separating and constantly shifting, KNOWBODY drew
closer and closer and began to study and stare at it, for a very
long time. he does not yet know that entering this “screen” will
not only propel him out of his coma, but will also transform him
into the vengeful, unstable, insatiable superhero, “MIMMER”, and
this malevolent swarm will become his ultimate weapon, an army at
his command.
