Video artist Max Juren has long been an Austin YouTube favorite — from his deadpan commercial for Heinz ketchup to his joyous re-enactment of Atreyu’s epic ride on Falcor, Juren always manages to twist the classics into his own warped forms of hilarity. With Max Juren’s DVD Release Event at Domy Books, Monofonus is pleased to present a compendium of Juren’s Work for your viewing pleasure. This one-night-only event will feature a screening of selected shorts from the DVD, as well as a back room installation that offers a peek inside this madman’s brain. Don’t miss this chance to mingle with genius!

Max Juren makes objects and environments in the form of video, installation, and attempted pop phenomenon product sculptures. He believes in the power of novelty, the gimmick, the absurd, and snacks. His work is concerned with transforming impulse into coherence, and the obvious into entertainment. He lives and works in Austin.
