Two million people are incarcerated in the United States across jails, state prisons, and federal detention facilities to the tune of $80 billion per year for taxpayers. In 2009, the federal government indicted artist Jesse Krimes on non-violent drug charges. Krimes would be convicted and serve five years in federal prison. He spent his time in prison creating #art, improvising with whatever items he had on hand, whether it was hair gel, a spoon, pages of the New York Times, or bedsheets. His work Apokaluptein:16389067 consists of 39 different pieces of sheets and is named after the Greek word for “apocalypse,” which also means “uncover” or “reveal,” and Krimes inmate number. That same work also features as the label art for the second release from The Prisoner Wine Company, a #winebrand looking to shift longheld narratives around incarceration.
