my name is Neil Pruett and my name is
Lincoln Hancock our work is part of area
nine one nine we're looking at motion
we're looking at stretching pulling
tugging
PEGI flying red-gold LeMay denim fake
leather paint splattered whole in a shoe
we're looking at screen printed t-shirts
sweat stains paint splattered a boot
that's degrading and we have to sweep up
little chunks of frayed torn smelly
there's humor and the peace their
celebration
there's reflection there's sweetness
there's also anger memory outside
Ernests individuality I mean there's all
that stake that we put into expressing
ourselves it's like these I mean it's on
unassuming as they may be our garments
that we use and that the people who
contributed them have used to express
themselves in the mass of humanity that
is Raleigh Durham and Chapel Hill and
the music community you know you're
going out to a show and you're in the
middle of a sea of a thousand people who
are you are you part of it yeah you're
part of it but you're also yourself
maybe this t-shirt is something that
you've used to say that a gold cape was
contributed by Julianne Thomas who
is an artist's graphic designer video
producer
living in Raleigh and we put the call
out she said I made this tape that I
performed in once and people went crazy
over it and keep asking me to show up
and I began and I've decided to retire
it and I think I might be perfect for
this I think she made the cake for a son
Rob tribute performance oh cool if you
look closely you'll see probably three
or four hoodies I mean nobody is like a
fairly ubiquitous and standard piece of
hipster attire but we wanted the
garments that are part of this piece too
to be really dynamic to be in motion
sometimes to feel like they're embodied
like maybe there is actually an arm or a
leg or a person somewhere back there but
these things are really moving so it's
officially engaging piece we actually
had two I'm not sure if that one is mine
or if that one was one that was donated
but I definitely have a red hoodie that
I wore we were being surprised when I
saw is like really you're gonna come up
your red hoodie
