MAX FRAZEE E-Mail info@maxfrazee.com 7/1/95 BACKGROUND: My art revolves around the theme of SERIAL KILLERS. In the Seventies, national and international police noticed the- popping up everywhere- of serial killers as a new trend in crime. It has taken another twenty years for society to become aware of this phenomenon. APPROACH: I am researching the area of- Every society has the criminals it deserves. (Michel Foucault) My art translates literal information into a visual concept accompanied occasionally by informational humor. It is the study of traits, logistics and history. The reconstruction of the events and the profiles of serial killers mirrors a part of history. Serial killings are a phenomenon that will be reflected upon in the future. PERSONAL WORK HISTORY: To date I have researched up to 1000 serial killers. The artistic results are conceptual installations of various sizes utilizing a number of media, from pastel drawings to video-tapes and sculpture, from photos and photo copies to scribblings, texts and quotations.
