Catron & Outlaw
As performers and sculptors, Jennifer Catron and Paul Outlaw are known for creating altered and displaced environments while they take on various roles, such as Jen n’ Outlaws Fish Fry Truck and Crawfish Boil, in which the artists created a hydraulically unfolding American Flag food truck serving Southern style fare in the middle of New York City. In Coming Soon, the duo acted as pilots of a hot air balloon, flying guests over New York. In Imeday Imeday Ollarday Icklenay, Catron and Outlaw’s bold constructions and outrageous performances resulted in the transformation of Allegra LaViola Gallery into an elaborate dinner extravaganza. Guests were seated at a crystal clear table, and served decadent courses as the table rose 10 feet into the air above the onlookers. Adorning the walls were meticulous re-imaginings of Old World Master paintings.
In addition to sculpture, performance and installation, Catron and Outlaw have created a series of collages that weave together mythology, religion and contemporary culture, creating a new symbology and drawing parallels between gods and humans while skewering everyone’s desire for celebrity. Revolution and upheaval wash away stagnation, creating a new niche in today’s overwhelmed society.
