Behold! I teach you the Overman!, Catron and Outlaw create new mythologies to investigate

eternal systems of beliefs through a lens of skepticism and humor. The circularity of cultural

gluttony, false prophets and their relation to what the society is convinced of as reality is explored

via the elaborate set pieces, videos, performance and multimedia paintings. The works aim to

physically and metaphorically transport the viewer to higher levels of existence; Catron and

Outlaw become the masters of ceremonies, the enablers, the devil's advocates and the cicerones in

a mystery journey as they elevate the audience into the air and have them float through water

while being guided through societal, political, and spiritual uncertainty. Through the use of the

banal, absurd and the extreme, Catron and Outlaw construct unforgettable moments in which the

participant has no choice but to become a player. As the viewers enter the world of the artists,

where concepts of hyper-reality, apprehension and hope battle with Apollonian and Dionysian

beliefs, death and life, exaltation and grotesque, the works sift through contradictory realities of

the past, present and future.
