From IPO to IOU: fAMOUS presents "dot-gone”

(PRWEB) March 18, 2001

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – March 16, 2001– Bay Area Art Group fAMOUS announces its upcoming art installation, dot-gone, to open April 12, 2001 at the Lair of the Minotaur gallery in San Francisco.

As featured on NPR’s Morning Edition, salon.com, The Industry Standard Magazine and The Mercury News, dot-gone is an original mixed-media installation exploiting the social ramifications of the recent success and failure of the dot-com industry. This fAMOUS production includes flatwork pieces, video and digital work, sculpture and spatial fabrication.

fAMOUS offers a critique of the dot-com phenomenon by addressing issues of overnight success, media sensationalism, technology and the instability of the stock market.

Artists Jamie A. Michael, Lacey Hanada and Xenia Jordan met as undergraduates at UC Berkeley. fAMOUS merges a variety of disciplines- art, architecture, design, science and literature- to present work that is as insightful as it is aesthetic.

fAMOUS works out of Apt#3 in Berkeley, California. They are currently in preparation for their next exhibit, “make it BIG, make it RED”, to open this fall. For further information, please visit their website at http://www.wearefamous.com or contact Apt#3@wearefamous.com.
