A. V. A. - Fanning the Flames of Discontent
OmniCircus's Seasons of the Veil ... depicts a charnel house of the living in a carnival from Hell. Garvey's paintings and sculptures are in the tradition of Rodin's 'Gates of Hell', Goya's 'Black Paintings' and Hieronymous Bosch's 'Garden of Delights'. Androids of the disappeared - homeless, prostitutes, junkies - live in the corners of our consciousness and in the cracks of a crumbling social order, their muffled cries a counterpoint to music that is spectral and soaring. Seasons of the Veil lifts the scrim on our collective unconscious, rudely refracting and magnifying the things we bury in order to keep afloat. Frank Garvey is the Barbarian at the Gate of the fortress-like art world that panders to and promotes effete, vacuous art. You can see why he is barred from it. OmniCircus, and Seasons of the Veil, are the works of a protean genius who will not be acknowledged by the art arbiters until they're downsized along with their culture and their class.

House of the Deafman (is) a very strange multi-media, pluri-stylistic work. The cross-over instrumentation of DeusMachina is what makes this CD such a mesmerizing experience...(it) comes together to create a surrealistic and unclassifiable sound-narrative. But most importantly, it works like a charm. House of the Deafman is the kind of record you put on when you want to enter a totally different world, regardless of your affinities with avant-garde or world music; the kind of record you cherish, simply because it can be compared to nothing else.

Ever see a strung-out stripper dance with a robot? Think Ally Sheedy in the movie "Short Circuit" but now trap her in a dark drug-inducedˆärobotic cabaret and remove her top. If that's what you see, you'reˆäprobably attending a performance of EROShambo at the OmniCircus-a surrealistic gallery and performance space for actors, painters, sculptors,ˆämusicians, virtual reality animators and robot creators. Walt Disney created the happiest place on earth. Frank Garvey, theˆädirector of OmniCircus, didn't. Unlike the well preserved dignitaries in Disney World's Hall of Presidents, the animatronics from Garvey's team look more like decaying bodies. Part theater. Part aural nightmare. Part robotics demonstration. Part strip show. Just walk into OmniCircus and you've entered a nightmarish robotic red-light district. Turn left to meet "Humper," the robotic whore fully equipped with a 20,000 volt stun gun right where it counts. Avoid "Plowgirl," the junkie and "Goboy," the panhandler who often leaves the confines of the gallery to bother attendees of the San Francisco Opera...

With an overwhelming combination of image, sound, and words, there is present in (OmniCircus video work) ideas and inner feelings that could not possibly be comprehended in one sitting, and maybe not even in 3 or 4...it is breathtaking...and unnerving.

Frank Garvey, artist, musician and director of the OmniCircus gallery and performance space, sees robotic sculpture as the way of the future. Intensely political without being pedantic, his robotic red-light district--replete with machines that beg, shoot up, heckle and brawl--is one of the most powerful, exciting art projects in the city; his band, DeusMachina, makes hypnotic grandiose music; and his gallery is full of art whose impact is as emotionally visceral as it is intellectually stimulating.

Frank Garvey peppers much of his talk about art with talk about politics, and vice versa, and somewhere around the intersection of the two emerges his conviction that art should serve the needs of the people...More

OmniCircus's Labyrinth is a masterpiece in the expression and presentation of emotion and depth of feeling.

Garvey's compositional strengths, coupled with a concern for social issues reflected in his music, establishes him as one of America's most important electronic composers, in our estimation.

Frank Garvey is one of America's foremost video artists...his work shows the possibilities of video as an artform.

What is the sound of a mind disintegrating? If you could wire yourself somehow to record the sounds of your brain, badly impaired by alcohol and depression, it might sound like House of the Deafman. Especially if you were a brilliantly gifted artist who was being visited by the dark visions he has committed to canvas ... and the ghost of his lost love. There are whispers, chants, echoes, voices that seem to materialize out of the shadows and dissipate into the mist. Disturbed and disturbing. Chilling. Rich in aural imagery. Place yourself in a dimly candle-lit room, drink enough to cross over from euphoria to despair, and listen to this dark, haunting sonic journey through an anguished mind. And when it's over, House of the Deafman lingers like the nightmare that wakes you in the dim pre-dawn hours. When the music ends, put the CD in a Quicktime-enabled computer (and I recommend watching the multimedia presentation last, so as not to color your experience of the music). The sinister robotic puppet show of the OmniCircus is as unsettling as the Lady in the Radiator from David Lynch's Eraserhead. And I mean that as both an endorsement and a caution. It is evocative and memorable. Garvey's CD is a remarkable realization both of his troubling artistic vision and of the capabilities of audio-visual media. This is deeply creepy, and highly recommended.

CHURN - An Art Magazine
Along patchwork buildings and criss-crossed horizons, some hungry souls are encountering the work of a true genius. When I first met Frank Garvey, I wasn't sure if I was a mere blip in the panorama of his very intriguing studio called 'OmniCircus' or whether I was being transported back in time to an age when art was taken seriously.

Film Threat Magazine
(At OmniCircus) I found work depicting amorphous mutated bodies and writhing sack people in the carnivalesque nightmares of working class America. Frank Garvey is a very serious and attractive young/old man who, along with other members of OmniCircus, has taken it upon himself to call for revolution in America. Mr. Garvey is indeed noble and talented and either too charismatic, crazy, or correct to be called arrogant, at least by me. These people may turn out to be one of those obsessive, paranoid, radical groups that just happens to be right.
