Jeffrey Vallance Biography

Jeffrey Vallance is one of the most popular and richest Artist who was born on January 25, 1955 in Torrance, Torrance, United States. Jeffrey Karl Reese Vallance (born January 25, 1955 in Redondo Beach, California) is a contemporary artist who lives and works in Los Angeles, California.

Vallance has written for such publications and journals as Artforum, Art issues, L.A. Weekly, Juxtapoz, Frieze and Fortean Times, and has published nine books: Blinky the Friendly Hen; The World of Jeffrey Vallance: Collected Writings 1978-1994; Christian Dinosaur; Art on the Rocks; Preserving America’s Cultural Heritage; Thomas Kinkade: Heaven on Earth; My Life with Dick; Relics and Reliquaries; and The Vallance Bible (2011).

Since the mid-1980, Vallance has taught various forms of art at UCLA; Otis/Parsons; the University of Nevada, Las Vegas; Umeå University (Sweden); the University of Texas at San Antonio; the University of Tasmania (Australia), California State University Channel Islands; and the University of California, Santa Barbara.

In 1983, Vallance was the host of MTV’s The Cutting Edge, which premiered experimental music videos from such musicians as R.E.M., The Bangles and The Police, and featured Vallance’s artwork. Also in 1983, Vallance appeared on NBC’s Late Night with David Letterman to discuss what was then his best-known project, Blinky the Friendly Hen, in which he purchased a frozen chicken from a grocery store and buried it at a Los Angeles pet cemetery, and Cultural Ties, a “mail art” project involving the exchange of neckwear with such international dignitaries as Anwar Sadat, King Hussein of Jordan, Austrian president Rudolf Kirchschläger and dozens of others.

Vallance is the leading force in a distinct version of Intervention Art called Infiltration Art. He creates art by interacting with real-world institutions, communities, politicians, religions, museums and pop-culture figures, tampering within bureaucratic structures to create change without creating conflict. His first public infiltration took place in 1977, when, dressed as a janitor, he sneaked into the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and exchanged the gallery wall-socket plates with his own hand-painted versions.

Shown in the Library Building, the wallets were displayed alongside the letters received, on official stationery, when they were returned to him by U. S. Mail. He also did a series of drawings of a bearded and bespectacled Dr. Loam. The series depicted the good Dr. interacting with various and sundry aspects of life, culminating with one titled “Dr. Loam gets a Lobotomy”. Quickly executed in colorful markers on poster board, they were hung all over the campus.

In the early 1970s, during the Cold War, Vallance corresponded with government officials in the Soviet Union and Red China, trading political badges with communist party leaders. For his efforts, Vallance was investigated by US federal officials and earned a 12-page FBI file.
