🚨 ART IN PRISON 🚨
This absolutely fascinated me.
The artist is Jesse Krimes.
(First of all… Krimes?? 😂 I honestly thought he had changed his name.)
Jesse served about five years in federal prison on a nonviolent cocaine conviction.
While incarcerated, he secretly created this work.
Using…
Prison bed sheets
New York Times pages
Hair gel
A plastic spoon
…he transferred newspaper images onto 39 prison bed sheets.
Then he drew over them, transforming them into something completely new.
When each sheet was finished, it was secretly mailed to friends and family…
One bedsheet at a time.
The entire project took three years.
He never saw all 39 sheets together until AFTER he was released from prison.
The title of the work is:
Apokaluptein: 16389067
“The Uncovering of Inmate 16389067.”
His prison number had literally become his identity.
Moral of the story…
If one of you Dropouts ever ends up in federal prison…
We’ve got Sketchy Deliveries.
We’ll keep your artwork safe until you get out.
