Ron English: Living In Delusionville

description

RON ENGLISH: LIVING IN DELUSIONVILLE explores the impact of corporate messaging through art and its necessary antidote: noncommercial thought-provoking public art.

Artist Ron English plays by his own rules, creating dynamic art across the world which demands dialog and provokes action. From humble Midwestern beginnings, processing the commercial imagery of pop culture into a darker, funnier universe he calls Delusionville, English has pranked and pummeled his way into prominence, influencing generations of artists and laying the groundwork for the explosion of Street Art.

DIRECTOR'S BIO
Constant Van Hoeven (Mr Kaleidoscope) is a Dutch born film director based in Kingston, NY. Van Hoeven started work on LIVING IN DELUSIONVILLE in 2016 after meeting Ron English through a mutual friend and co-producer Andrew Porter. Growing up reading about culture jamming in America and The Situationist International in France, he was more than happy to collaborate on a biopic about the legendary artist and anti-consumerist thinker. What initially was supposed to take 6 months turned into a 6-year journey.
