On Magmo's VOIDS:
Magmo's most recent obese bodies of work titled "MAGMO, VOIDS" are part of an extensive personal exploration, questioning human nature and the origin of "want". The Void series take a deeper and darker look into the core of the individual, our unconscious feelings of desire are explored and visualized through graphite and charcoal drawings. The primordial impulses that motivate each of us to want the new car, more money, a bigger house, more power, more control, are thus given tangible forms. Grotesque in appearance the Voids depict a surreal look of the chaos, vulgarity, and urge inside us all. Using graphite, charcoal, and his fingers, these primitive yet contemporary over sized drawings present abstracted figures in ambiguous moments, unsure of why they want, why they need, and why they must fill their Voids. Spawned from our shared appetites of vanity and ego the MAGMO VOIDS are born.

On MCA's WZRD Stones:
The Spirits are with us & yes, the WZRD Crew knows this. The stones, the WZRD Spirit Stones, that have been uncovered by MCA & exhibited here do in fact hold the power. What power? You can not yet answer this, but they will tell you, yes. Will there be an open ear? a free mind? The power may not yet be fully understood, but the Presence will be felt. These stones have been passed down throughout the generations of WZRDs and shall continue to be passed down for eternity, indeed, passed down by you. The Universe, some say, has now chosen these for you to enjoy, learn from & possibly benefit from. It is said that the spirits have always inhabited these stones, it was just up to the carver to release them. Release, yes, released. If you choose to take one of these home just be aware that it is not you that is doing the choosing, the stone (the spirit) you are in need of will choose you & the power will slowly let itself be known. Whether it be the WZRD Wall Spirits, the loose Stones or the Slate History Tablets, each has a specific ‘hand’ if you will & will reach out to you if you are the one. Be open, yes & enjoy.
