Information about kelvin mccannix Ugly American collection #Lazy

In the book, "The Ugly American", a fictional Burmese journalist wrote, "For some reason, the people I meet in my country are not the same as the ones I knew in the United States. A mysterious change seems to come over Americans when they go to a foreign land. They isolate themselves socially. They live pretentiously. They're loud and ostentatious. Perhaps they're frightened and defensive, or maybe they're not properly trained and make mistakes out of ignorance." In the visual language of kelvin mccannix (a Brooklyn-American living in Barcelona), the "Ugly American Collection" is lazy, bawdy, unprofessional in appearance and remains ignorant of local culture. The European aesthetic is slick, chic, polished. The kelvin mccannix method is unconventional with glue droppings and paint spatter as the norm.
