Smack Mellon Bridges Artists' Styles: Recapturing 'Kindness and Imagination'

Amber Benham, CUNY Graduate School of Journalism

Abstract

In a densely decorated studio, Emcee C.M. Master of None showcases his vision of “transforming the world through play” while the metallic chiming of monastery bells plays on an old record player. His displays – a chaotic mix of photographs, prints, playing cards, hand-drawn posters and found items like a dead tree – embody the artist’s mission to get anyone and everyone involved in the creative process.
