IMA TV: Funky Bones

http://www.imamuseum.org/100acres/artists/ateliervanlieshout

IMA TV chats with Sarah Green while installing Atelier van Lieshout's Funky Bone Benches in the 100 Acres Art and Nature Park at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Joep van Lieshout, with his studio Atelier van Lieshout, will present a group of 20 benches with drawings of large bones that will together form the shape of an enormous, stylized human skeleton. The work grows out of ideas about native heritage and cultural development, with bones iconically referring to artifacts and remains from previous occupants. The artist, who encountered visitors sitting on rocks and other natural perches on his visit to Indianapolis, wanted to create benches as sites for resting in 100 Acres.

oh, come on, that's not a yeti, that's totally fake! you can clearly see it's a guy in a yeti costume, plus the camera is all shaky and out of focus! I'm not buying this "yeti sighting" at all.

I FOUND THE YETI!

Okay, first, I will say that I appreciate the art and... themetaphoricalresonance. Alas, I did originally come to this video because it involved Sarah Green (aka, "the Yeti"). And then read TFiOS. And thought of this video.

I wish to go to these bones one day...

[stephiiee]

[amparent37]

Could it be?!? No! The Yeti really?

p.s. I did like the whole subject of the art.

I knew this was being described in TFiOS before the name was even metioned! I laughed. Nice subtle plug, John. I wonder how many people will look this up now, not knowing of the bonus Yeti prize?

could not stop laughing when this came up in TFIOS!
