Skull Appreciation Day 2013

The Skull-A-Day Blog and Street Anatomy have joined forces to bring together the greatest collection of skull art, to celebrate the 3rd Annual Skull Appreciation Day! The resulting exhibition of skull inspired art works co-curated by Noah Scalin and Vanessa Ruiz will be on view at the International Museum of Surgical Science, in Chicago May 31 – August 25, 2013.

Featuring

• Mike Egan
• Tom French
• Emilio Garcia
• Ali Gulec
• Joshua Harker
• Meyoko
• Nicholas Obery
• Rx Skulls
• Dan Springer
• Rob Tarbell

In addition to showing their existing work, each artist has been asked to complete a frontal view of a skull in their own style using a template we provided. These skulls will then be split apart (digitally) and combined with other artist’s skulls to create a dynamic and unique collection of skull art prints. Each skull will be comprised of the work of two different artists, one from Skull-A-Day and one from Street Anatomy. At the end of the exhibition the respective skull halves will be brought together allowing us to see each artist’s complete skull piece.

The show opens with a reception on Friday, May 31, 2013 from 5-9 pm. Hope to see you there!
