Sku: YY7040-B
Artist: Tim Hawkinson
Title: Bird Box
Year: 2006
Signed: Yes
Medium: Giclee
Paper Size: 14 x 11 inches ( 35.56 x 27.94 cm )
Image Size: 14 x 11 inches ( 35.56 x 27.94 cm )
Edition Size: 150

Condition: A: Mint
Additional Details: Signed, Titled, Dated and Numbered out of 150 by Tim Hawkinson. Exhibition Lightjet Chromogenie (Type C) Print on Archival Photo Paper, published by Side Street Projects. Hawkinson is renowned for creating complex sculptural systems through surprisingly simple means. His installation “Überorgan”—a stadium-size, fully automated bagpipe—was pieced together from bits of electrical hardware and several miles of inflated plastic sheeting. Hawkinson’s fascination with music and notation can also be seen in “Pentecost,” a work in which the artist tuned cardboard tubes and assembled them in the shape of a giant tree. On this tree the artist placed twelve life-size robotic replicas of himself, and programmed them to beat out hymns at humorously irregular intervals. The source of inspiration for many of Hawkinson’s pieces has been the re-imagining of his own body and what it means to make a self-portrait of this new or fictionalized body.
