Zoopsia



Here's for Esmee who sadly could not be with us. Charles and I absolutely loved the Zoopsia exhibit at the Getty.
I think it is my second favorite

exhibit ever (after 24 hour psycho by Douglas Gordon, of course).
Here are some images from the exhibit and a link to learn more about the artist, Tim Hawkinson.
(I think Esmee actually had a similar bat hanging in her bedroom for a while. Absolutely avant-garde. Though I guess he made his bat out of plastic bags from radio shack and twist-ties.) Be sure to look closely to fully appreciate the tentacles of the octopus and the spine of the prehistoric dinofish. P.S. Zoopsia means a visual hallucination of animals. You can read more about the exhibit here.
