ANACHROTECHNOFETISHISM: ARTIFACTS BY PIONEERS OF AMERICAN STEAMPUNK, originally uploaded by exoskeletoncabaret.
I’m pleased to announce that I am co-curating and presenting artwork as part of a 13-person group gallery show in Seattle. THIS is what I’ve been so busy scheming the last few weeks. Hope you’ll come. It is a great honor to work with so many talented individuals, all renaissance people in their own right.

Long before the age of the internet, and well before the cold efficiency of the assembly line, existed fantastic and terrible machines, run on hope, sweat, and steam. It was a time in which form and function lived in sin, and everyman was a revolutionary.
We are 13 American artists united by broad geography and narrow aesthetic.
Marrying narrative and nostalgia to design and technology, we imagine the triumphs of the past overriding the failures of the present to create from the ruins and detritus a dazzling future-perfect.

But…..didn’t Eliza pretty much declare that Steampunk is over, or at least, on it’s way out? I’m confused.
