Mike Estabrook (born in Quincy, Illinois) is an American visual artist based in Brooklyn, New York. His work spans several media, including animation, painting, drawing, performance and installation. He makes work that is funny, grotesque, fantastical, and political. He often imposes these fantastical creations onto pre-existing cultural materials such as movie clips, army recruiting pamphlets, and magazines. He has been active as both an exhibitor and an organizer at ABC No Rio〔http://www.brooklynrail.org/2008/02/local/abc-no-rio〕 since 1995. His work has also been shown at several prominent venues, including P.P.O.W. gallery, the Queens Museum of Art, P.S.1, Arario Gallery, Nurture Art, and the Bronx Museum of the Arts. ==Animations== In 2003, he began making animations that took from a variety of cultural sources, juxtaposing different elements to make a political or aesthetic statement. An early example is ''(The Road to Nam )'', a mash-up in which the famous Eddie Adams photograph of an execution during the Vietnam War is animated to depict the two main characters each singing a part to Bob Hope and Bing Crosby's version of ''If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd a Baked a Cake''. More typical of later animations is ''(The Good, Etc. )'', in which Estabrook takes footage from the climactic showdown scene of ''The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly'', and essentially doodles his own monsters on top of it. He has also done this with the Zapruder footage of the Kennedy Assassination, and scenes from Demille's ''The Ten Commandments''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mike Estabrook (artist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
