Pink Dildo Belt Sculpture

Campus Carry In 2016 Texas made it legal to carry guns on campus. In Texas, it's unlawful to own too many dildoes. Some sororities on the UT Campus carried around dildoes for the first week of classes to protest. I made belts for the occasion, another example of the Bogus Brand’s commitment to resist, and defy authority. In 2016 Texas passed legislation to legally carry guns on campus. In Texas, it’s unlawful to own too many dildos. A sorority protested on the UT Austin Campus and carried around dildos for the first week of classes. I made belts for the occasion, another example of the Bogus Brand’s commitment to resist, and defy authority through offering a line of products that pertain to our corporate values. The Bogus Boutique is a lifestyle brand featuring unique brightly colored ceramic objects and status symbols. These everyday objects foretell the ironic codification of consumer culture as it embodies our current society. In The Bogus Boutique, high heel shoes, punk rock lock necklaces, anchors, oversized fishing hooks, suitcases, cigarette lighters, cases of beer, life preservers, telephones, knives, perfume bottles, and cocktail garnishes are outrageously overpriced objects as viable subjects for branding and art. Questioning the notion that ordinary objects can become an “object of art,” Bogus encourages a debate about authorship and originality, dissolving the distinction between sanctioned museum pieces and iconic everyday consumed objects. The Bogus brand is a one-man factory manufacturing a bogus line of luxury products that no one can actually use or truly needs. Bogus’s witty humor and ridiculously expressionistic pop pieces will be arranged within an immersive gallery, staged to evoke the feeling of being in a department store. The sculptures are made from only the cheapest talc clay, wares are fired to a low temperature with the brightest colors possible and he is proud to offer genuine America-made products. The viewer can’t help but giggle at numerous high heels shoes and oversized punk rock necklaces, but these and other pieces fit just fine in the context of a consumer society: dress up, eat, drink, smoke, play, and have sex.
