Reimagine the Guitar
Tuesday March 08, 2011 |
 Transforming the everyday object into one of kind art pieces has always been an fascinating idea. SInce everybody's first guitar was a Fender, you can't get more everyday than that, and thats what this group of artists were given to re-create into remarkable artworks. Gene Simmon's Axe Base has got nothing on these. In addition to making awesome sculptures, these guitars raise awareness for 18 charities of the artists' choosing. The artists are seeking to exhibit the guitars as a group. You can keep up-to-date through the SVA MFA Design website: http://design.sva.edu/site/
The artists, in order of the guitars, are: Joanna Kuczek, Albert Pereta, Bruno Zalum, Derek Munn, Elisa Bates, Elliot Walker, Michael Croxton, Jesse Yuan, Katie Estes, Leen Sadder, Maya Lee, Melissa Gorman, Sebastian Ebarb, Sylvia Villada, Sooji Han, Tim Hucklesby, Adam Katz, Camille McMorrow Read the artists' statements here: http://imprint.printmag.com/                  IDEOPOLIS, The Class of 2011
