Goatmother Industrial is an art producing entity based in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Established in 2003, it serves as an identifying moniker for numerous art and sound related activities by artist Mark Rice. Originally based in Bloomington, Indiana, Rice took the title with him to the East Coast in 2009, where he has since attained his Masters of Fine Arts in printmaking at the Rhode Island School of Design. He is on an 11-month artist residency at Hub-Bub, an art gallery and performance space located in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Aside from his visual and conceptual art pursuits, Rice is noted as a talented drummer, who has performed and recorded with a host of musical groups including: Magnolia Electric Company,〔Magnolia Electric Company〕 the Impossible Shapes, the Coke Dares, and Early Day Miners, among others. In 2009, his one-man-band, Thit, a more personal musical endeavor, began showing signs of activity, and thus became a unifying “brand” for subsequent audio works, sound experiments, and handmade audio devices. Rice’s work, and the Goatmother Industrial tag are both deeply tied to Bloomington, Indiana, and the city’s Art Hospital〔Art Hospital〕 non-profit art space. The Art Hospital, of which he was a co-founder, was an artist-run non-profit art and music space that featured on-site studios. The revolving cast of Hospital artists had biannual staff exhibitions in both Bloomington and Indianapolis, even swapping shows with the members of Big Car Gallery〔Big Car Gallery〕 in Indianapolis in 2008. Outside of Indiana, Goatmother Industrial has been in exhibition at Durham, North Carolina’s Fort Grunt space,〔http://www.loujoseph.com/fortgrunt.htm〕 The Martin Art Gallery in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and most recently at Providence, Rhode Island’s Pearl Street space and the Gelman Gallery at RISD.〔Gelman Gallery at RISD〕 ==About the artwork== Artwork produced by Goatmother Industrial is actualized through the use of many different mediums, including: printmaking, sculptural works, art objects/products, audio, video, and fashion/apparel. Many works involve the use of the "Rungish" language, a visually and verbally syllabic adaptation of the English language created by Goatmother Industrial. From a material standpoint, the artist tends to incorporate recycled items from many sources, such as construction and architectural salvage, and holds steady to ideas on sustainability and reuse. With the pretense of being a corporate entity, Goatmother Industrial sometimes incorporates alterations of existing products and product ideas, as well as installation-oriented works. Examples of such includes: *The BBBPPP (Big Bad Bag of Prints, Proofs, and Paintings) – A collection of experiments in all the mentioned mediums from throughout the history Goatmother Industrial, packaged in a non-polypropylene bag. *The “Honor System Store”- A kiosk where patrons can purchase small pieces for a price left at their own discretion. *Fantom Jukebox- An installation that lays the mythological framework for Fantum Limb Fanamatronix with the story of the future/history of Banta, Indiana, through a series of five songs and five lit and animated engravings. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Goatmother Industrial」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
