Jason Rhoades recieved his BFA from UCLA what he was 28. While in studying art he became apart of a movement called "Funk O'Metric". His installations are composed of many materials such as photographs, sculptures, videos, neon lights and just your average junk. His creations usually fill up an entire room and he sets up systems of relationships between reality, experience and the media. They remind me of the still lives I had to paint in Kresge. "I have always thought the perfect audience would be me and two viewers — the work is connected to you and the viewer, and things feel equal somehow." Jason Rhoades' death was caused by accidental drug intoxication and heart disease when he was 41.
