Biographical and Historical Information

Art Attack was a guerilla art collective founded in Los Angeles in 1979, by Lynn McCary and Billy Burns. The group relocated to Washington, D.C. in 1981, and again to New York City shortly after. Initially, Art Attack did not have any official members. Participants joined and left sporadically; however, it eventually formed a core group of four artists: Lynn McCary, Evan Hughes, Jared (Hendrickson) Louche, and Alberto Gaitán. This core group worked with multiple select artists on projects in the United States and Europe. Their creative process aimed to reflect the "'real world' interactive systems" to create discussion of differing interpretations of their work. The core group, alongside collaborating artists, worked towards utilizing their adaptability to address problems that many artists are confronted with. You can read more about Art Attack at their website.

Lynn McCary studied at American University, graduating with a double major in Graphic Design and Visual Communications. She co-founded Art Attack in 1979 and has worked with many institutions, including Artist Space, the Washington Project of the Arts, and the National Institute for Music Theatre. McCary currently works as an event planner in New York City, primarily planning fundraising events for cultural and educational nonprofits.

Evan Hughes graduated from the School of American Craftsmen at Rochester Institute of Technology, and his work specialized in designing and creating unique furniture and sculptures. His work has been featured in the Franz Bader Gallery and has been involved in Art Attack since 1984. Hughes continues to collaborate professionally with architects and artists, such as 1100 Architect and constructing sculptural work for Frank Stella. He also worked extensively with the late Richard Artschwager, including the commissioned artist interiors of the elevators at the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Jared (Hendrickson) Louche is a musician, primarily know as founder and frontman of the Washington, D.C. industrial rock band Chemlab, which he has intermittently performed with from 1989 through the present. In 1997 when Chemlab initially broke up, Louche worked as an investment banker on Wall Street. Louche has released solo music outside of Chemlab, and is also one of the founders of the electro-industrial music supergroup H3llb3nt. Louche's work with Art Attack included performance poetry.

Alberto Gaitán studied multiple creative fields throughout his professional and academic career. He received a Bachelor's degree in Biology from the University of Miami but also pursued music theory, composition, programming, and photography studies. He joined Art Attack in 1985 and has performed and had his work featured at institutions such as the Corcoran Gallery of Arts, The National Theatre, and many others. Gaitán passed away in 2022.
