Fingered, 255 McKibbon Street, #207, Brooklyn, New York, T: (+1) 646 508 3048. Jason Yates' influential series 'Fast Friends, Inc.' synthesizes pop-cultural histories in the form of highly obsessive, large format xerographed and hand coloured drawings covered in novelty stickers, googly eyes, reflective mylar, yarn, and glitter. These extremely laboured, one-of-a-kind posters were exhibited, free for the taking, in public spaces around Hollywood and proliferated on internet social networks such as MySpace, often promoting gigs for like minded bands such as Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, Black Dice, and Animal Collective.
Fast Friends, Inc. is cultural hijacking; a representation of fear, the failure of the collective, the fetishism of the collapse, the language of mania, anger, regression, absurdity, redundancy, misinterpretation, formal cannibalization, and the theatre of excess and dysfunction.
