A Short History Of The Comic Strip In Popular Culture VIII

1. Walter van Beirendonck Spring/Summer 2012
2. Erwin Wurm Fat Car, 2001

The moving comic sculpture. Walter van Beirendonck and Erwin Wurm almost made me cry. Together, they presented walking absurdity during the Spring/Summer 2012 menswear finale. A collection that could easily be entitled 'POW, BOOM, BANG'. Worth shedding a happy tear.

A Short History Of The Comic Strip In Popular Culture VII

1. Bertrand Lavier Walt Disney Productions, 1947-1995
2. T. Kelly Mason Lifestyle (Red Balloon), 2013
3. Erwin Wurm The Artist Who Swallowed the World, 2006 & Untitled, 2008
4. Thomas Scheibitz Captain Amely, 2007 & Sumpfblüte, 2008

The comic/al in scultpure. If taken and misused as a literal idea, recreating a Disney scenery in 'real' life (Bertrand Lavier) or using comic sculpture as static performance of an ironic story (Erwin Wurm) - enriched with the seductive quality of pop, the materialized comic strip slowly turns into 'strip-tease'.
