Puppies Puppies

Puppies Puppies (born Jade Kuriki Olivo, 1989) is an American contemporary artist.[1] They were born in Dallas, Texas.[2]

The artist is known for working in a wide range of media and materials, including blood, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter fan art, crab carapaces, Swiffers and Minions paraphernalia.[3] Their 2015 exhibition HorseshoeCrabs HorseshoeCrabs at the Freddy Gallery, Baltimore displayed various artistic interpretations of the horseshoe crab, an arthropod whose blood is often drained for use in pharmaceutical manufacturing.[4][5] In 2016 they participated in the Berlin Biennale, presenting a new video each day of the biennale.[6] In 2017 their work Liberté (Liberty) was included in the Whitney Biennial.[7] The piece involved a performer wearing a green gown along with a crown standing on an outdoor terrace of the Whitney Museum; simultaneously, the Whitney's gift shop sold $5 liberty crowns to visitors.[8] Their 2019 solo show at Remai Modern in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan engaged blood as a subject. The exhibition displayed a bag of the artist's own blood, as well as providing on-site HIV testing and blood donation services to visitors.[9][10]
