 "KAIJU MONSTER INVASION"
Just a heads up to those of you who may be in the Miami Beach area between December 3rd and January 4th. I will have a new piece in the up-coming "KAIJU MONSTER INVASION" at the ART CENTER OF SOUTH FLORIDA, during Art Basel in Miami Beach. This will be a multidisciplinary exhibition, whose primary focus is the artistic interpretation of Japanese kaiju – giant beasts from the golden age of Japanese film and television. The show, curated by the Harold Golen Gallery, opens on December 3rd 2008 and runs thru January 4th 2009. http://www.haroldgolengallery.com/The title of my piece is " PLASEEBO - The Awakening " and is inspired by that part in "The Legend of Plaseebo" story where the Mummy of the Japanese Pharaoh of Egypt, "Plaseebo", is awakened and released from his entombment by the two British archeologists who break into his pyramid one a dark night in 1803. You can read the entire Legend here: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea ... =437664136This is a one of a kind shadow-box diorama built in a hand crafted 8' X 13" X 21" wooden case with a glass front designed to hang on a wall ( the style and antiqued finnish of the wood case reflects a period Egyptian artifact ). The glow in the dark vinyl figures have glass inset eyes and four of them have LED lights inside them that are switched from the outside of the case. The effect in a darkened room is quite moving. Enjoy, Bob   In darkened room with LED lights inside figures switched on.  In darkened room with glow in dark.
