Zoopsia at the Getty
You may have seen signs or banners hanging for this exhibition around town. It's called ZOOPSIA, the work of Tim Hawkinson, and it will be at the Getty Center through September 9th.
Tim Hawkinson creates a menagerie of zoological forms using common household and industrial items and reconfigured images of his own body.
The exhibition looks particularly interesting, in my view, because rather than exploiting animal carcuses, like some early 21st century sensationalist art has done, he uses his own form to mimic nature. Looks like this is defnitely worth checking out if you are into the art scene.

I saw this recently. To be honest, it was unimpressive and there were only a few pieces in his exhibit (I'm guessing 5).
Took me time to read the whole article, the article is great but the comments bring more brainstorm ideas, thanks.
