Projects

SUGAR AS SCULPTURE: Walker partnered with Creative Time and JAD to produce her first-ever large-scale public project. Situated within the sprawling industrial relics of Brooklyn’s legendary Domino Sugar Factory, the installation—called "A Subtlety, or the Marvelous Sugar Baby" is a sphinx-like woman composed of massive blocks coated in several tons of sugar.

YOU'RE THE MAN NOW, DOG: "Dackle the Dog" was designed by Superplastic in collaboration with auto manufacturer Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes approached the artist to commission a unique one-off sculpture [in celebration of XXX?]. The resulting work, milled in urethane and given a polished finish through the application of automotive-grade paint and chrome details (such as the cheeky application of the car manufacturers iconic logo mark around Dackel's neck).

WHAT'S UP, DOC: "Janky and Guggimon" are the foundational characters that make up the wider Superplastics multiverse. Already a social media and NFT market juggernaut, the artists worked with JAD to bring their characters to vibrant physical form.

AN IMMACULATE LACK OF RESPECT: JAD worked with MissMe to fabricate a life-size 3D-printed sculpture based on the artist and her signature mask.

A STATE OF TRANSFORMATION: For "Late October," three sculptures were milled from a high-density material that could eventually be moulded and cast in bronze as positives, so the work appears to exist in permanent transformation.

MAKE ME A HORSE: A colloboration with Aria Dean and Greene Naftali Gallery, "FIGURE A, Friesian Mare" is a continuation of Dean's fascination with digital simulations. The artist brought JAD a rendered model of a small toy horse that had sustained a battery of simulated collisions. The finished 3D model that was then output and fabricated at JAD as a physical object, with the organic form of the horse barely recognizable in the finished sculpture.

CONSCIOUSNESS IS A SIMULATION: JAD worked with Aria Dean's digitally rendered geometric collisions and fabricated variable physical editions of "Little Island/Gut Punch," for Aria Dean and Greene Naftali Gallery.

The digital atelier worked with Aria Dean to fabricate "2 Cubes," part of the artists' series of colliding cubes, in her custom, signature chromagreen. JAD produced variable editions of the work in collaboration with Chateau Shatto for Art Basel 2022.
