No. 45: ATB - SOULED
release date:  December 24,  2024

Listen >>

Picture
ADAM TAYLOR BROWN better known as ATB, is a metamodern artist. 
In his work — a lifelong vocation titled SOULED, he conspires with his audience fusing performance and visual art through time to explore the universal truths: how perception creates reality, how mortality gives life its urgency, and how time, finite yet immeasurable, becomes the ultimate measure of meaning.
Grounded in the artist's personal history - witnessing his father's paralysis while celebrating his eighth birthday - SOULED began as a meditation of finiture.  It has since grown into a profound and universal invitation: to confront the fleeting nature of our days, to question how we assign value, and to reflect on what we leave behind.

ATB releases his work in a WAVE which is a series of 12 identical works sold consecutively for up to 12 days. 
The price of the first WORK is determined by the number of its WAVE.
The price of each subsequent WORK doubles sequentially.
WAVE #12 titled SMOKE will be released on January 4, 2025.
WORK not sold by the end of the WAVE is burned at a WAKE.
Also on NPR/WEKU

WAVE #4 - DEAL WITH THE DEVIL

WAVE #5 - WHAT YOU GET AWAY WITH

WAVE #9 - IMPERFECTIONATELY YOURS

A WAKE at midnight on the twelfth day of the sale of works not sold.
