The many faces of MaxXandauX.
Too bad Andy Warhol is gone. If the famed avant-garde artist were still among us, he would likely welcome MaxXandauX (pronounced Max-ZAN-doe) into The Factory, his famed work and play space.
“I deal with self-portraiture; I like to play with myself,” MaxXandauX, a Houston-based multi-media performance artist, says wryly, with a smile. “I say that in the sense of self-experimentation with my looks and create visual characters with everything I do.”
Not long ago, MaxXandauX became a force in Houston’s progressive art scene via his electic and electronic debut video, Violet Velvet, offering a taste of Fellini’s La Dolce Vita mixed with a little Trent Reznor and a dash of early Bowie. “I’ve always loved avant-garde movies and works that are not mainstream,” he explains.
MaxXandauX is gearing up for a busy month. He performs VV and his equally buzzy Chameleon video to appreciative audiences May 1 at Temper Tantrum at Gravitas Sidebar (807 Taft St.). Expanding further on that self-experimentation, his Flower series is on display at Paulie’s Restaurant (1834 Westheimer Road) through May 31.
“The prints are a hybrid inspiration of Warhol’s Flowers and Dolce & Gabbana’s 1993 Spring Collection, which is obviously a throwback to the ’60s,” the artist says. “I’m so inspired by that time, as are many other people.”
As if that weren’t enough to keep him running, MaxXandauX also screens two of his short films at the Houston Fringe Festival: The Birth and Pin Doll, which he calls “the
most experimental works I’ve done to date.” The festival runs May 19–23 at various venues (houstonfringefestival.org).
“I’m thrilled to be a part of this festival because I can just do it, just be, and there are no rules,” the artist says. “As with all of my work, the audience can take whatever they want from it, minimal or layered. I’m just here to do my job!”
If you feel a cold chill while you’re there, fear not; it’s probably just Warhol’s ghost. —Nancy Ford
