Uberburger
I created these pieces for a group exhibition currently up at Gallery5 (200 W Marshall St). The work is a reference to the 130 year history of Ubercorp, a company that is part of the mythos associated with Noah Scalin’s project, “The League of Space Pirates.” I chose to explore their fast food company.
Below is the statement:
During Ubercorp’s process of diversifying the scope of their products, they dabbled in the fast food industry creating the chain, UBERBURGER(TM). Their success lied in developing an inexpensive meat based product that would have the side effect of becoming sentient on occasion, but didn’t seem to sway the general populace who thought they were delicious burgers. Many clam that the space pirate, Mungo, is actually made of UBERBURGER meat based product.
