Hey folks. You ever been in someone’s garage and they have that really nice sealed floor? Yeah, well that’s what I’ve got in my garage and I absolutely love it! So when we got another house, one of the first things we wanted to do was seal the floor. And this time we wanted to make it look really nice!

Dalà was born on May 11, 1904, in Figueres, Spain close to the French border. In 1916, Dali discovered modern painting on a summer vacation to Cadaques with the family of Ramon Pichot, a local artist who made regular trips to Paris.

I’m not exactly sure how to describe this work, so I’ve decided to call it perpetually destructive performance painting.
Essentially a group of artists start with a canvas of some sort and begin painting and repainting it while a stop motion camera makes a video record of the process.
