FASTWÜRMS Installation view of "DONKY@NINJA@WITCH" at the CAG, 2011
This season is blazing by me in all respects, so my intended posts are a bit backlogged. Case in point: been meaning to write about FASTWÜRMS since I learned about them when I was in Toronto way back in May. They're a Canadian artist collective, currently consisting of two makers, Kim Kozzi and Dai Skuse. They play with the semiotics of witchcraft to create everything from multimedia installations, public art works, and short films. I love how their work is both ritualistic and irreverent, utilizing a dark and delightful DIY aesthetic. Denim witch garb. Macrame bats. Pentagram nation flags. So much yes.
Intrigued and want to learn more? This interview with them by Mark Laliberte (who's the one who turned me onto them - thanks, Mark!) is a great place to start.
