This month TNT is proud to host Totally Wreck and Okay Mountain.

Starting with Totally Wreck Production Institute, this Wednesday, May 19th.


Here's what Totally Wreck has to say about their crew and style:

Totally Wreck delivers cosmic insight surrounding the universe’s post-apocalyptic visions and supernatural obsessions. Through the creation of impulsive, ephemeral experiments, works, and conceptual characters, Totally Wreck aims to understand the organic and virtual identities that hold the power to channel curious behavioral patterns from the unknown.

To put it simply, Totally Wreck is a collective of young multimedia artists based in Austin, Texas.

However…

What Totally Wreck or The Foundation for Human Possibilities or Totally TV Production Institute is or isn’t is still a matter of confusion, even between its so-called ‘founders.’

Totally Wreck’s current members are Ben Aqua, Johnny Cisneros, Mark Hensel, Mike Ruiz, David Salinas, Eli Welbourne, and Lanneau White.

The following week, Wednesday May 26th, TNT will be hosting Okay Mountain. Here's a little bit about one of Austin's most exciting collectives and galleries:

Formed in 2006 and based in Austin, OKAY MOUNTAIN is a collective consisting of 9 artists who live and work in Austin, Boston, Chicago, and Oakland. All exhibit as solo artists as well. Originating as an artist-run alternative gallery space, OKAY MOUNTAIN evolved into an artist collective when its founding members began creating art together outside of the gallery environs. What began as collaborative drawing sessions during weekly staff meetings has since developed into a wide range of collaborative projects across a variety of media, including drawing, video, sound, performance, prints, zines, murals, and large-scale sculptural installations. Their shared artworks reveal the unique perspective provided by a group dynamic, give emphasis to drawing and the artist's hand, and are always leavened by a sense of humor, whimsy, and larger-than-life Texan spirit. Playing on the conventions and absurdities of contemporary consumer culture and drawing upon pop graphics and styling, their works are scrappy, colorful, and maximal-just like the artists themselves. Most of the artists are graduates of the University of Texas at Austin, others are graduates of University of California Los Angeles, Rhode Island School of Design, and the University of Kansas. OKAY MOUNTAIN has exhibited at Galeria Enrique Guerrero in Mexico City, Paragraph in Kansas City, PULSE in Miami, Texas State University in San Marcos, TX and the Creative Research Lab in Austin. OKAY MOUNTAIN recently wrapped up a mural project at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, and will show this summer at Austin Museum of Art.
