Umar Rashid. Rodin, Rodan. The mastermind plots beneath the earth as the destroyer reigns supreme above it. Can Doom save us from the Monster 0?
Artist Umar Rashid produced T-shirts on the occasion of his new solo exhibition at MoMA PS1. There are two versions, based on his paintings included in the exhibition.
“In the beginning of the revolt, the objective was simple: end colonial rule all together. That matriculated into nominal colonial rule and broke down even further as time passed. Once the civil war began, the original impetus was largely ignored or forgotten and the combatants squabbled for the pettiest of gains. Meanwhile, across the ocean, the Frenglish Republican government had put down the last of the insurrections against its body. Jeroen the Just, the Frenglish King of Novum Eboracum (in name only), living in exile, informed the government of his plan to retake the city and the colony. He was supplied with the material and people power needed for the task, along with a new mandate for scorched earth tactics above all else. He became their doom. Hic sunt dracones. Sint monstra.”
