Accidents in Abstract Painting, by Richard Jackson
22 Jan 2011, at the Rose Bowl parking lot.

Quoting from http://pacificstandardtimefestival.org/events/accidents-in-abstract-painting-...

"In this outdoor spectacle, Richard Jackson will fly and crash a remote-controlled, ultra-lightweight, battery powered, model military jet plane with a 15-foot wing span, and filled with paint, into a 20-foot canvas wall that reads 'accidents in abstract painting.' On January 22, 2012, at 4:00 p.m. Jackson's plane will take off and circle the field directly south of the Rose Bowl in Pasadena for approximately 30 minutes. The climax will occur when the plane is aimed toward and flown into the canvas wall; the plane, made of balsa wood, will splinter on impact. Its contents—brightly colored paint—will splash onto, and then drip slowly down the canvas, making an 'accidental' painting.

Following Jackson's spectacle, video footage and photographic documentation will be shown with the wall and the plane debris, along with other work, at the Armory Center for the Arts in an exhibition entitled Richard Jackson: Accidents in Abstract Painting, the Armory, on display from February through May 2012."

  • this isnt art!

  • I would not have the heart to crash such a nice plane

  • I like the idea. It would've been even cooler to crash an actual plane into concrete panels and use them afterward as individual "paintings" in a show.

  • If you are going to do something like this, which I have to admit, is pretty cool, then do it with a big profile foamie, or something to that effect, instead of destroying a beautiful airplane like th is

  • A plane crashed intentionally into a target reminds me, uncomfortably, of 9.11.
