kyraneko:gallusrostromegalus:gravywheels:gallusrostromegalus:bedenehapsedilenruhlar:Incredible installation artwork by Ron Mueckçim çit Instagram: @artwoonzThis is goregous and haunting and really well-assembled but also I desperately want those to be made of the stuff stress balls are so I can run down the corridor and fling my body at the wall of Soft Skulls, enveolping myself in the memento mori as Absoultely Nobody intended.I know this is a joke but it wormed it’s way into my brain and now I’m in way too deep. And for the purposes of this post, I’m going to assume there is an infinite budget for this project.At first I was like “bean bags, obviously”. You can buy bean bag filling for about $20 for 2 cubic feet and I’m sure there is a pattern out there for a sewable skull that you could just increase the proportions for.Also I found this:But the problem is that bean bags won’t have that seamless, realistic skull look you’re looking for. Turns out that stress balls are made of sealed polyurethane foam rubber and you can get giant 6 foot blocks of that stuff! All you would need was for someone to sculpt and you can seal it with sealant spray. The blocks are expensive, though. Each block is over a grand.Six Foot Polyisocyanurate Foam BlocksTHEN I thought ‘but where would you put such a masterpiece’? Cuz from what I understand, the art installation is just amongst some unrelated paintings. Bleh.I thought either you could put it on some of that rubber playground surfacing so that even if you don’t want to heave your entire body amongst the skulls, you can sort of bounce in place as you contemplate your mortality.OR, a somewhat bolder choice, you could put the skulls in this grim reaper themed moon bounce that I found.So, you know, you have options…1. I love that bouncy castle. it looks like something @gothiccharmschool would have for a fete.2. I am, in fact, moderately serious about this as an art installation, and already have a location picked out. The Denver Art Museum has Featured artists and interactive exhibits that get installed in a lovely space on the first floor of the Hamilton Building (there’s a more aesthetically appealing space on the second floor but if people are going to be Yeeting themselves at the skulls we should probably avoid the balcony area) The area is really meant to be an interactive ‘make your own art inspired by the exhibit’ space for the kids and I think pairing it up with an exhibit on Dutch still lifes and the history of anatomical studies and other things relating to Skulls And Skeletons in art would be jolly fun. Perhaps around Halloween.I want this so bad, and also you are not the only one who took one look at those skulls and went “I really want them to be squishy.” -- source link
