Juxtaposing drawings of the plaster cast of David made by different individuals with portraits of Maomi Star drawn by his friends, this edition presents a discourse on individual differences in drafting concepts and methods, as well as a discussion on the relationship between "monuments" and portraiture.
David is a heroic figure from the Old Testament of the Bible. As a young shepherd, he defeated the giant Goliath with a slingshot, later becoming the third king of the ancient Kingdom of Israel and is represented as the King of Spades in playing cards. Michelangelo's statue of David captures the moment David fiercely prepares to sling his stone at Goliath. This iconic sculpture has become a staple in art education, with marble casts turned into plaster statues, becoming an essential part of the sketching curriculum for art students in many countries.
Maomi Star, translated as Cat Star runs a comic store named "Woodpecker." Starting in 2019, Maomi began having his friends draw portraits of him. He distributed drawing cards to his friends, asking them to depict their vision of Maomi.
This edition of TISSUE ISSUE weaves together various sketches of the plaster cast of David and portraits drawn by Maomi Star's friends, showcasing the individualized differences in drafting philosophies and techniques, and delving into the dialogue between "monuments" and portraits.
The supplementary product for this issue is an A4-sized jigsaw puzzle, illustrated by Mooncake.
about EggPlant鹅卵茄
在对 “eggplant“ 英文一词的凝视中，我们意识到茄子的命名可能是由一颗形似鹅蛋的白茄子而来，这个单词成型背后包含了类型学，造词现象，图像翻译等可发散讨论的方向。受此启发，我们将EggPlant译为鹅卵茄。鹅卵茄旨在发现艺术家和个人，共同探索艺术和商品之间的缝隙的可能性。
Staring at the term “eggplant” , we realized its name likely got from a white oval aubergine in 19 century. The structure of the term could extend to a discussion of typology, phenomenon of coinage and image translation, and so on. Inspired by this mishmash experience, EggPlant aims to collaborate with artists and creative individuals to explore the possibility of the niche between art and merchandise.
