For his first exhibition in Germany, New York's Brian Alfred meditates on his personal artistic development with Millions Now Living Will Never Die!!! . The artist meticulously maps his own diverse influences in a chromatic wall grid of 333 portraits, all executed from found images, in his signature flat, graphic style. There are also digital animations of the portraits playing on three iPods and three back-wall projections, as well as a series of fabricated portrait books and collages, which collectively give prominence to a wide range of figures including friends and family, Chuck Close, Lady Sovereign, Bill Clinton, and Jack Kerouac. Alfred, in focusing attention on creative individuals in a society of cultural consumers, portrays art-making as an open, enlightening process.
