It's hard to say how James Marshall got to where he is today. He really doesn't like to talk about it. So what is left? What are Space Monkeys? Where are they from? Are they born alive, or are they incubated in egg-like vessels? Why do they smirk at us as if they know something we don't? Even when they are suffering from what would be moments of human weakness -- like a hole in the head or a recently amputated limb -- they continue to smile and stare, assuring their control of the moment. Why do they always march to the left? Is there a mothership calling? Are their hearts situated on the left side of their bodies like ours? We can only guess. They stare at us with one large orb of an eye, unintimidated and steadfast in their mission. The eye of the Space Monkey can threaten like a cocked and steadied gun -- it can insult you without warning, or invite you into a happy, carefree world.

James Marshall (aka DALEK), is one of the most exciting artists from the burgeoning Brooklyn art scene. Although he has received a BFA at the Art Institute of Chicago, he is inspired especially by street art, graffiti and televisual culture. He has exhibited in London's Apart Gallery, in New York and in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Washington. In addition, he has worked with Takashi Murakami.
