Inbred Hybrid Collective - You Don't Have To Know

Today we pair Inbred Hybrid Collective's "protester 2" with "You Don't Have To Know." This piece has exhibited in 2011 at Hunter College. Here we tread dangerously close to illustration, but we veer away with our statement of intent. We don't intend illustration! There. No, we're simply having a conversation between two vastly divergent statements on blindness. Hopefully the banality of "You Don't Have To Know" lends an irony to the overt politics "protester 2" displays on one level, while the painting allows the song to transcend it's libido hopping into anthem. We might not know because the media doesn't show the woes of the disenfranchised, whether they are political protesters or protesters of the soul, but you don't have to know to know. Could also apply to the mysterious effect of art itself. A stretch, but hey, we like the painting!

Since 2005, Canadian-born inter-disciplinary/ multi-media artist Inbred Hybrid Collective has been living and working in New York. Inbred Hybrid Collective’s work has been shown at venues as diverse as New York's Lincoln Center, Metro Pictures, the Ontario Crafts Council, The Queens Museum of Art, The Staten Island Museum, the Liverpool Independents Biennale, and The LGBT Centers of both New York and San Francisco.

In 2009, Inbred Hybrid Collective made history as the first performance artist at the famous "Armory Show," in New York.

Book Club Burlesque, a series of multi-media extravaganzas inspired by specific books, has been regularly produced by Inbred Hybrid Collective since 2005, and has garnered the attention of The New Yorker, New York Magazine, The Village Voice, and New York Press, among others.

Inbred Hybrid Collective made a highly regarded debut as a curator during the 2010 London Biennale.
