AIR'S RUN ANIMATED BY MELANIE MANDL

Reviewed in FILM INDEPENDANT on March 12th, 2012

Melanie Mandl's haunting animated music video for Air's song "Run" won the music video audience award at the 2008 Los Angeles Film Festival. The video was totally DIY, made in Mandl's own back yard. After it was finished she sent it to the French band Air to get their blessing on it and they liked it.

ATLAS RESONANCE PROJECT

Artist Project to be realized on December, 21st 2012

The Atlas Resonance Project is a world-wide participatory art project.

As the winter solstice of 2012 approaches we are inundated with messages about the foreboding changes that will occur on our planet induced by the Mayan prophecies.

The concept–the coin–is conceived — cast by a collective of artists at "La Fonderie" in Los Angeles. The culmination–the bronze bell–is the realized unified harmonic heart to be cast and rung in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco in 12/2012.

Artists

Dean Styers

Painter

Dean's work uses images of people or objects without clear context to elicit familiar emotions (a pretty girl, a well-dressed man, a child, an astronaut, flowers) but undermines the emotions that attend these icons with text. While the subject is often attractive and comforting – eliciting feelings of nostalgia and innocence – the sentiment that overlays the image is typically bitter, or melancholic, or cynical, or bleak. This juxtaposition often creates a unique conflict for the viewer.

Melanie Mandl

Artist/Director

Melanie's work includes paintings, miniatures and video installations.

Ray Vanatta

Painter

Jesse Vogel

Painter

Originally from Santa Barbara, Jesse received his BFA from San Francisco State before moving to Los Angeles, where he currently resides. His paintings explore brief moments in time in urban and suburban landscapes. The images are drawn from photos he has taken around Los Angeles.

Mold making,bronze, aluminum, and stainless steel casting, and patinas
Our experience and continuous presence in the metal casting and fabrication industries allows us to assemble and organize the required appropriate vendors and teams. We provide and oversee all detailed drawings, manufacturing techniques we have developed to expedite the project. Quality control of every part produced and on-site project management of each phase of manufacturing.

Luc Bernard

Painter

A Canadian artist now residing in Los Angeles, Luc is represented by four galleries in North America. Luc first established himself in the Canadian art scene as an encaustic painter. The lush and textured landscapes he created always wanted to push towards abstraction, which became more and more apparent over the years. For the last 2 years, Luc's paintings have explored color and texture in oils and sumi ink.

Wayne Bannister

Collage Artist

Wayne's education and background work experience is in the fields of Environmental Design and Geographic Information Systems. He is currently studying Collage and Print Making at the Art Center College of Design.
