Street-math is one of the most priapic genres to emerge this century, and involves the stealthy deployment of hardcore improvised sums in urban areas. The best examples of street-math have fallen from the brain of Pavet Mulodny, whose acute sums give way to more obtuse references, especially in equations such as 16/2) © + 1.188889 = Your Mother.
Previously a member of Crucifix Four, the street-math gang who pioneered the use of urban Spirograph in the Math to the Death battle of 2003, Mulodny has since gone his own way, having been inspired by the song 'Go Your Own Way' (Fleetwood Mac, 1977). Since the division, Mulodny’s career has really begun to flap: the artist has begun work on a collection of street-math props which are set to send shockwaves up the twisted spine of the street-math genre.
The bag of tricks he has so prettily managed to secrete up his sleeve include an actual square root (the last example of which was thought to have been lost in the library of Alexandria), a binary calculator, some hitherto unknown ‘homegrown’ numbers (cultivated in mutant soil imported from Chernobyl), and a delicious recipe for pi. All this suggests the outcome of the mathwar equation will inevitably fall in Mulodny’s favour. As he says in his own words: 'it's like eating putty out of the hands of a baby'.
Perhaps that’s why Mulodny seems to be eager to get off the streets, having proved all he can as the dingeboy of Brussels. Now venturing into the truly dangerous area of multi-dimensional mathematics, Mulodny was astounded to find that subtracting the 4-dimensional area of the concept ‘Your Mother’ resulted in him becoming locked in his own equation for eleven hours. Mulodny is performing this phenomenon at exclusive London galleries this week, whilst gin-mouthed art-terriers bray and whinny at the spectacle.
