ART-A-WHIRL SPOTLIGHT: KYLE FOKKEN
Local sculpture scion Kyle Fokken has more than a few high-profile accolades under his belt. A longtime Art-A-Whirl staple, you can expect to see Fokken's signature style of antique fantasy appropriation work on display this weekend in locations including The Placement Gallery and the Rogue Buddha Gallery. We guarantee you'll be taken with his impeccably constructed birds of flight, sleek wheeled monstrosities, and general phantasma!
We sat down with the charming Mr. Fokken himself for a quick q&a this week....
How long have you been participating in Art-A-Whirl and how has it changed since you became involved?
I first became involved in Art-A-Whirl in 1998 when I shared a studio in the Tyler Street Building on 13th and Tyler. That was the year we had major storms blow through knocking out the power for most of the weekend. My studio mate called it our "Art in the Dark" show. Things were a little more rough and tumble in those days and there were more crazy parties in illegal living spaces. A couple of years later, when I was on the NEMAA board as a 2 term Treasurer, I assisted with the Arts Action Plan that created the Arts District, hire staff and increase the number of board positions to include community and business leaders.
What influences your work?
I'm influenced by a number of artists, writers, and philosophies, but I look to engineering, antique toys and outsider art as my primary inspirations. I've been influenced by creative problem solvers in all fields, but my work favors engineering as it applies to machines of the last century. I'm intrigued by how the Wright Brothers studied nature to achieve powered flight and how other inventors did not comprehend that flapping homemade wings while jumping off of a cliff could lead to their deaths. I take delight in vehicle forms - aircrafts in particular - and how they relate to their function, but also am influenced by the designs that go awry. I guess this falls in line with why I like outsider art, since I appreciate the imperfect aesthetic and avoid slick, antiseptic design. This is also true as to why I like antique toy designs from the early part of the last century. There's a clunky wonderfulness that speaks of greater things that the child isn't old enough to use in real life, or that may be too fantastical for reality. I refer to them as a cultural barometer to study where our own culture was and may be headed.
What would be your dream project if money and materials were no object?
I think my dream project would be to remake a city using my designs for the trains, buses, cars and planes. I would work with designers from auto companies, aircraft, boat and train manufacturers to invent unique, interesting vehicles to ferry people and goods around. Granted, most of my designs aren't air/land/sea worthy, but I think it would be an interesting experiment. I'd also have a hand in redesigning/building upon the city infrastructure - roads and bridges, traffic flow, pedestrian/bicycle walkways etc. since a well designed street is aesthetic in nature as well. I would employ outstanding local, national and international architects, engineers and artists, to aid in this endeavor since I believe that it is healthy to have variety of viewpoints to grow neighborhoods "organically" to improve the aesthetics and usage for the people who live there. So, my dream? Have a big civic project to share with others. Oh, yeah - and be the first person to make a sculptural installation on the moon - Ha!
What do you think are your greatest accomplishments, artistic and otherwise?
I would have to say that my first and biggest accomplishment set up all the others. I am the first of my family to graduate from college (since leaving Europe over a hundred years ago.) I'm also the first to travel overseas and live/work in another country. After working for a few years, I was able to afford to tour much of Europe by myself, then later had trips to Greece, Thailand and Italy with my lovely wife. I'd have to say that having been married almost 6 years and have a great little boy and baby girl that we are so proud of is a great accomplishment as well. I chalk it all up to being able to leave my hometown and get an education. Artistically, I would have to say my biggest achievements so far are that I won a competition for
the cover of an international sculpture magazine (Sculptural Pursuit) and had a show at a gallery on the Upper East Side of Manhattan (yes, NYC, not Kansas). Of course, there are numerous other press and publications, awards and shows, a fair number of sold work under my belt, but I still feel that the best has yet to come!What are your top 5 albums to make art to?
Big Black - Songs About Fucking
Jesus Lizard - LIAR
Husker Du - Zen Arcade (of course)
Iggy Pop - Raw Power
Brother Ali - The Undisputed Truth

SUNDAY MUSIC PICK: STAR EYES
Hot smart chick DJ Star Eyes of Trouble & Bass (NYC) has been rocking the dance scene since she was 15 years old, and it shows. Having played alongside some of the biggest names in the DJ game, Star Eyes literally puts stars in OUR eyes with her seemingly endless resume of uber-coolness. Not only does she have a midas touch on the decks, but she also reigns supreme as Editor in Chief at the cooler-than-cool San Fran based music and culture mag, XLR8R.
Catch Star Eyes NEXT WEEK in the M-P-L-S at Do It To It, Friday May 23rd at First Ave - co-sponsored by l'étoile magazine!
As part of l'étoile's ongoing artist-on-artist feature we asked local Boy Mike Davis aka Mike the 2600 King to interview friend and cohort Star Eyes...
How did you get started DJing?
I was crazy into raves and techno starting around age 13. Most DJs in L.A. would only play maybe 50% of music I liked, so I started buying records for myself. When I was 15, my boyfriend at the time sold me a pair of used turntables that belonged to his uncle, who was a mobile DJ. And now look.
People come up to me while I'm DJing and ask me to play stupid songs or make bizarre requests all the time. What's the weirdest request you've ever gotten while spinning?
I find it more bizarre when people come up and ask for a specific underground remix or something good rather than "Got any M.I.A." or "Play hip-hop." But someone once gave me and the other Syrup Girl $100 to play a freestyle track (Debbie Deb, I think). We did, of course.
What are the five songs you're most excited to play next time you DJ?
MC Dynamite: What (Jack Beats Remix)
Mathhead x Passions: Turn the Music Up (AC Slater Rmx)
Rusko: Cockney Thug (Drums of Death Baltimore Thug Rmx)
Vet & RS4: Rudeboy DJ
Mr. V: Game Over
Of all the other DJs playing at next Friday's DO IT TO IT at First Avenue, who are you most excited to hear and share the turntables with?
I am excited to play with all the homies from Minneapolis. And Dave Nada. Last time we were together he poured a whole bottle of vodka on his head, so the stakes are high.
The whole bottle? That guy's crazy! Okay, so it turns out you are also the big cheese over at XLR8R Magazine. How did that come to be?
It was my dream to be a magazine editor since I was about 16. I started writing drum & bass 12" reviews for XLR8R in 1997 and I was always around in San Francisco, so when it was time to get someone new on the editorial staff, I was lucky enough to be suggested by Tomas Palermo, the former editor (who actually gave me one of my first DJ gigs). When he stepped down in late 2004, I got promoted to "big cheese."
Who's the least cooperative person you've ever had to interview?
Top two biggest dicks have been Grooverider and Map of Africa (Thomas from Rub N Tug and DJ Harvey).
What are your predictions for musical artists or fashion trends about to blow up for the rest of 2008?
After years of saying it, I think goth and industrial music and fashion is really making a comeback (Pointy shoes! Horror movie designs! Victoriana! Nitzer Ebb!). Other music trends I think will be big in the rest of 08: the whole Baltimore art-rock scene, warehouse parties are back!, this "lazer bass" movement or whatever you want to call it (Rustie. Lazer Sword. Megasoid. Glitch Mob), dubstep and nouveau dancehall is really happening, the return of shoegaze, and of course Trouble & Bass!! Grunge is coming back in fashion, but I don't know if I necessarily support that, though I like flannels. Me and Passions are really into capes and oversized Bernard Wilhelm hoodies.
See Star Eyes in Minneapolis next Friday, May 23rd as she joins a stellar lineup of the best local and national DJs at "DO IT TO IT" in the First Avenue Mainroom - co-sponsored by l'etoile magazine of course!
ABOUT THE INTERVIEWER: Starting off as a college radio DJ in St. Louis, Mike Davis released a series of funk and rare groove mixtapes, gaining him the attention of Turntable Lab and Life Sucks Die Magazine, with whom he would eventually team up to help start Burlesque of North America. You can catch Mike playing around Minneapolis, mixing funk, golden era hip hop, disco rap, and Motown oldies.
