FACE OFF: Skull Appreciation Day 2013 Recap

For this year's Skull Appreciation Day Skull-A-Day partnered with Street Anatomy to create FACE OFF a collection of new skull art at the International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago, IL.

For those of you who couldn't attend the opening here's a tour...




Emilio Garcia’s Skull Brains







Intricate 3D printed skulls by Joshua Harker

 In addition to the 10 artists that were invited to the show, we asked the public to participate in a variety of ways, including a DIY skull station using the same template we provided the artists...
 


And mail art that was sent in from around the world and created by local Chicago students was on display in the museum's library...




There was also a cool merch table (on a vintage hospital gurney no less!)...
Jennifer von Glahn & Rachel Stork Stoltz
One of the featured items was a custom made pin based on the show poster created by Anatomical Element...


The evening concluded with the destruction and consumption of a gorgeous custom made chocolate skull from Conjurer's Kitchen...



The best part of the opening, however, was getting to meet our fans in person and having the various members of the Skull-A-Day & Street Anatomy communities together in the same room!

More pix from the show can be seen HERE.

You can also see larger versions of the prints in the show and buy them in the Street Anatomy Store.

The show is up through August 25, 2013 so if you're going to be in the area between now and then, definitely stop by and check it out in person!

403. Dead Media

I was commissioned by TCC Visual Arts Center to create this new installation called "Dead Media"...


It's made from 497 VHS videotapes, which were kindly donated by several friends (thanks again Mimi, Robin, Quillan, and Stephanie), the staff/students of Tidewater Community College, and also culled from my personal collection.


The overall size is 20'-8" x 8'-11" (6.29 x 2.71 meters)






In the spirit of the famous painting The Ambassadors by Hans Holbein the Younger, the skull was created to only look correct from one point and is actually quite distorted in real life.


Hidden amidst the whole and broken tapes are several Easter eggs, including this tape from my personal collection...


The piece will be on display from September 14 through November 1st at the TCC Visual Arts Center in Portsmouth, VA, and if you're in the area, you're invited to come to the opening reception this Friday starting at 7pm. Details can be found HERE.


Students at the school have been encouraged to take the tapes when the piece is dismantled and create their own skull art.
