critique by Ariel Radock.
""Apocalypse Still" is the ingenious creation of Boston artist Shaun Mac Lean Marrow.
He is producing a captivating 100 meter painting, pictorially embodying Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 cinema classic "Apocalypse Now".
Systematically offering numerous parallels within our own society, Mr. MacLean Marrow provides us with an insight into his own voracious appetite in representing a subject that transcends time and human complexity. "Apocalypse Still" is an outward manifestation of our innermost torments. Willingly, or perhaps in some cases unwillingly, we are forced to confront abhorrent horrors and are simultaneously repulsed and drawn to numerous attributes within this project. We are thus presented with a masterful rendition not only of a turbulent emotional journey but also a haunting visual one as well."

thesis.
The world seems to be involuting upon itself in crisis. "Apocalypse Now" was Francis Ford Coppola's utilization of Hollywood as a platform to show "the horror, the horror" of war and the emotional toll of inner demons created by the powers that be. "Apocalypse Still" is a 100m (or more) painting of his movie, it uses installation to support its "horrors", and movement to speak the words a painting cannot. It is already being painted, the idea of painting a film (time) is something that is warned against in the world of paint.

"SMM, the son of Mr. and Mrs. RM of Rhode Island, a student at the Massachusetts College of Arts and Design and the Pont Aven School of Contemporary Art, Brittany, France and a 1995 graduate of Bishop Hendricken High School, will have a world premier screening of a short documentary segment at the Cannes International Film Festival, Short Film Corner in Cannes, France, May 14-25, 2008.
"Hearts of Darkness: A Painter's Apocalypse" is the short documentary chronicling the development of the art installation, 'Apocalypse Still,' a 100 meter painting using Coppola's 'Apocalypse Now,' as subject, installation as evidence, and movement as dialogue.
The short documentary, "Hearts of Darkness: A Painter's Apocalypse" contains interviews and actions showing the intensity and intent of the project, as well as the impetus behind such a piece, and the trials and tribulations of such an endeavor.
The "Apocalypse Still" installation was to be "screened" in July at the Biennial Exhibition in Beijing, China. That date coincides with the anniversary of the death in Viet Nam of Purple Heart honoree, WDM, USMC; an uncle that Mr. M never had the opportunity to meet."
*edited for confidendiality, and the fact that i didnt get to beijing.
