In ...About, Halfway To Somewhere, Daniel Zyk portrays through animation and watercolor an unobstructed understanding of how material conditions can vaporize counterculture into a haze of commerce.
About
Cabin Contemporary is excited to present Daniel Zyk, ...About, Halfway To Somewhere.
"Is it right to analyze in a general sense the capital machine
Its workings and what they mean”
Sleaford Mods, Face to Faces (2015)
Daniel Zyk is a punk. (I think he might be amused by the paradoxical humor in that statement.) Few commiserate with the true meaning of punk like Zyk. The decay of punk after aesthetic appropriation by capitalism runs beside the beautiful decay of society and nature. Zyk declines consummation by key market ideology and this refusal is evident in his artistic output. In his music and animations and watercolor paintings, he portrays an unobstructed understanding of how material conditions can vaporize counterculture into a haze of commerce. He will "sell-out" when pigs fly. In ...About, Halfway To Somewhere, Daniel Zyk literally sets a pig to wing, not to acquiesce to the false joys of the free market, rather to introduce again an emancipatory project called punk.
