Max-o-matic

These six artists were part of TWS before it had a gallery, before it had a name for what it was doing, before any of this existed as a project with a shape. James Gallagher. Fred Free. Cless. Charles Wilkin. Rubén B. Max-o-matic. TWS Editions 01-06 gathers their work into a first collection — limited prints that carry 15 years of shared history. These prints were selected from their existing work to launch TWS Editions — a program that puts money directly in the hands of the artists and keeps TWS running as an independent project. No middlemen, no institution taking a cut. When you buy an edition, the people who made the work and the platform that champions it are the ones who benefit. If you've followed TWS for any amount of time, you already know what these artists mean to the platform. If you're new here, this is a good place to start.

New cover by collage artist @maxomatic for @variety about Warner Bros., David Zaslav, and the Paramount merger debate. The story digs into whether he saved the studio or set it up for a sale. HUGE Thanks to AD Haley Kluge 💫

Este año Duduá cumple 20 años y sigo el hilo del primer post — el del Duduá del Born — para hablar de las exposiciones que organicé en ese local desde 2006 hasta finales de 2009, cuando lo dejé porque no tenía ni un duro ni para pipas. Era más joven. Me lo pasé muy bien. Aprendí muchísimo. El criterio de las exposiciones era simple: artistas que me gustaban y a quienes les proponía hacer una expo de un mes. Todos los meses (excepto agosto), individuales y colectivas. Vinieron artistas de toda España, de Italia — como Olimpia Zagnoli —, de Estados Unidos, hicimos colaboraciones con una galería de Finlandia, con una marca de San Francisco... Y en cada inauguración preparábamos la comida favorita del artista. Capirinhas. Empanadas. Galletas de cardamomo en forma de gafas. Croissants gigantes. Pasteles arco iris en forma de Cobi. Una fantasía. Esas cosas las haces de joven o luego te da pereza. Recuerdo especialmente la colectiva Homenaje a Cobi. Vino tantísima gente. Incluso el propio Mariscal. Yo llevaba un vestido de papel ilustrado con cobis voladores por Miss Capricho que se iba rompiendo durante la inauguración — lo iba arreglando con celo. Vino la televisión. Fue muy divertido. Ese día vendí 12 euros y decidí cerrar Duduá. Sin saber lo que vendría después. Me cansé de no tener ni un duro. Monté una expo colectiva con todos los artistas que habían pasado por esos 4 años y con el dinero de vender las obras pagué el alquiler del último mes. La llamé La Expo del Fin del Mundo. Sin saber que luego no iba a ser para tanto. Se cierra una puerta, se abre otra. Pues eso. A veces echo de menos esa época. Una vez al mes nos reuníamos todos en la inauguración — era un punto de encuentro de gente joven que empezaba a hacer cosas, pre redes sociales. Me entra la nostalgia. Será cosa de hacerse mayor. Seguiré con los posts nostálgicos para celebrar estos 20 años. Por si no conocías esta parte de Duduá que también nos hizo ser lo que somos ahora.

What lands a star on THR's fifth annual list of the 25 Greenest Celebrities? A rap sheet doesn't hurt. Some of the actors have been busted more times than Nick Nolte and Randy Quaid combined — Martin Sheen alone has made 66 trips to the pokey in the name of civil disobedience.⁠ ⁠ They’ve also made multimillion-dollar investments in clean energy, produced countless eco documentaries, done literal deep dives into the ocean, built zero-waste homes, launched nonprofits providing clean water to underserved communities and written climate change plot points into their scripts.⁠ ⁠ Check out the full list and more stories from our Sustainability Issue at the link in bio. 🌎⁠ ⁠ Video Collage by: @maxomatic ⁠

One of the best pieces Max-o-matic (@maxomatic ) ever made got lost in a shipping box after a 2018 exhibition. Nobody knows where it is. This print is what remains. The piece was part of a series made in late 2017/early 2018, shown at The Age of Collage in Hamburg — curated by Dennis Busch. One or two from the series sold. The rest were packed and shipped back. They never arrived. He still thinks about it. Whether someone found them. Whether they recognised what they were looking at or just saw a few pieces of cut paper and threw them in the recycling bin. The originals are somewhere — in a storage unit, a skip, someone's flat — inhabiting a liminal space between this world and others. Or they aren't. He'll probably never know. He calls it a quantum collage. Until he knows — which will most probably be never — it exists and doesn't exist at the same time. Schrödinger's Velázquez in the mall. This wasn't just any work. "Velázquez in the Mall" was part of a series that marked a turning point in his practice — the moment his approach to collage shifted into what it is today. Which makes the loss stranger, and the print more significant. Max-o-matic co-founded TWS in 2010. Fifteen years later, Edition 06 is his own work in his own gallery. The last of the Original Weirdos. And the only fixed point this particular piece has left. TWS Edition 06. Limited prints. Three sizes.

“This series uses collage to collapse time,” says Buenos Aires-born, Barcelona-based artist Máximo Tuja. “By blending images from different eras, past and present fuse into a single moment – creating something entirely new, difficult to recognize, strangely familiar yet foreign.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Shop his new collection on ArtStar.com

New Digital collage illustration from contemporary collage artist @maxomatic for Fortune - about AI killing SaaS. Or not killing it. Depends who you ask. Anthropic’s Claude Cowork can now handle legal tasks, and investors panicked - billions wiped off specialized software companies. Some call it the SaaSapocalypse. Others say it’s overblown hysteria. The debate rages on, but the underlying question is ancient: when new technology arrives, what actually dies and what just evolves?
