sUPERIORbelly = ART + DESIGN COLLECTIVE + RECORD LABEL.
sUPERIORbelly is a collaborative of professionals working collectively and individually to produce art, design and music. The collective was established in 1999 by Zak Ostrowski and Thomas Pyrzewski. The sUPERIORbelly alias was originally derived from the omohyoid, which is a muscle situated in the front of the neck. The unusual paring of words reflected the initial artist / designer duality, and over time became synonymous with the artists intellectual approach and output, much like the use of DADA. Ten years later this reference to biology is fitting, as the organizations identity continues to evolve and encompass new areas of interest. Aside from a record label and clothing line, the belly and its members specialize in everything from sculpture and performance art to brand identity and environmental signage.
