a golden grill.

Those two pieces of shimmering light out on the horizon, that look like a dazzling buck toothed man with golden grill, are actually two sparkling Greedy Hen Art shows.

The first is one of Kate Mitchell's super rad endurance Art performance films,

called 'Non Stop Nice'

here she explains:

it's a simple physical challenge,

"How long can I grin for?"

The answer: 27minutes and 21seconds. With the work sped up to 3minutes and 13 seconds the smile takes on an evil tone, turns into an ill hidden grimace, facial muscles tense, the eyes dart around frantically trying to find relief, until it all becomes to much to bear and the smile/work is over.

then we went on to discuss Michael Douglas, 'Jewl Of The Nile', and the comic value of white chino slacks. but instead of writing in everything she said about the Art work, we'll just post a choice picture of MD looking creepy

sk8!

Greedy Hen painted a skateboard deck which is now on show at The New Zealand Centre Of Contemporary Art, as part of the Board Art 2008 exhibition. The Art show will be touring New Zealand, dates are still being confirmed, but the New Dowse Gallery will apparently be housing it in February 2009. other top notch awesome Artists in the show include We Buy Your Kids and NZ wonder kid Dylan Taylor.

also! something else fairly air punch worthy- this year Greedy Hen have been nominated for a Desktop Design Magazine 'Create Awards' yessss!

to illustrate what winning looks like, here's a decorative shrub, small white ghost, or an array of shiny drinking goblet trophies.

dirt bike racing!

Greedy Hen is working on a new Art music video for singer songwriter Josh Pyke. We're super excited about it, it's all light and shadow puppetry work from an overhead projector. It's scheduled for release in a few days, but in the mean time here are a few behind the scenes photos from the shoot:

as well as making the Artwork, Greedy Hen also Co-Directed the music video. that's our "super serious, directing whilst clutching giant over-sized novelty cups, and standing on ladders" look.

in other Greedy Hen news, This week Kate competed in a powerful dirt-bike race at Carriage Works. Yesssss! the dirt-bike track was set up as an Art piece by Artists Marley Dawson and Christopher Hanrahan. Dawson and Hanrahan transposed an operable dirt-bike track into the gallery environment. Mixing situational estrangement with daring machine poetics. (ie- FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!!)

Kate raced the other Artists with mighty speed and fury, and quickly became a crowd favourite due to her slapstick crashes and inability to decipher the difference between the accelerator and the breaks. everyone loves a speeding crash into the barriers, and that's what Greedy Hen provided for the people.
