When I was in New York last week, I had the good fortune to see Slash: Paper Under the Knife at the Museum of Art and Design. I'm hoping to give you a full report on that soon. In the meantime, my pal Henry sent me a link to an earlier project from Bryan Dettmer, one of the artists featured in that show.
For this project, Dettmer took old cassette tapes (metal tapes, natch!) and melted them into a skeleton sculpture that was displayed at the International Museum of Surgical Science called Postoperative, that also included his book autopsies. Dettmer is all about crazy detail and painstaking craft. The way he uses the bottoms of the cassette tapes for skull teeth is typical of his genius.
You can check out his website HERE.
