Happy Mother’s Day 💐 EAI is thrilled to announce the addition of Jake Brush (@jake__brush ) into distribution!

An interdisciplinary artist working within the fields of video, sculpture, and performance, Jake Brush wryly satirizes and celebrates the excesses of American culture and media. Brush joins the EAI catalogue after our event highlighting his work in 2023, co-organized with International Objects.

Drawing from programs like Hoarders and Survivor, Brush’s videos encompass core facets of American reality TV: egregious wealth, familial trauma and alcoholism, tactical self-mythologizing, bitter interpersonal conflict, and fleeting moments of human connection. Much of Brush’s work draws from the artist’s childhood on Long Island, re-staging contemporary tragedies and family gossip in a setting where curious engagement precedes moral judgement. Remixing the consumeristic lingo of social media and self-referential chatspeak of contemporary Internet culture, Brush tells absurd stories about the mundanity of American life.

Brush’s actors often perform in drag, their bodies augmented by synthetic masks and heavy makeup. The artist’s use of gender transgression as a performance tool—which evokes the sensibilities of Jack Smith and Charles Ludlam—confronts the shallow artifice of reality television by reappropriating its maximalism. Brush’s approach also aligns with Ryan Trecartin and Jacolby Satterwhite, who utilize digital culture and queer sociality as the basis for sensorially rich video works. His videos target celebrity tabloids, the garishness of the ultra-rich, and content consumption, exposing how popular media commodifies subjectivity.

On Friday Baybe Yaffa Brush - Baumgart left earth 🌍and began his heavenly journey alongside his comrades and ancestors, Slim Shady, Mrs. November, Tina Toenail, Delta, Old Man Murphy, and Echo ❤️ Thus concluding (for now) my reign as the queen of ferrets.

For the past TWELVE YEARS we have played in plastic bags, stolen car keys, ripped holes in socks, terrorized roommates, escaped enclosures, met new friends, drawn blood, created new enemies, flung themselves around on couches, destroyed apartments, ruined furniture, slept in random undiscovered locations, smelled kinda bad, inspired new ideas☑️, licked my forehead, terrorized Lucas !!! and grounded me but with hilarious camp.

My only question is - Is it possible to ACTUALLY potty train these things ??? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 by @jake__brush
