MAD About the Dead and the Living

MAD or Museum of Arts and Design in New York is presenting an upcoming exhibition on organic living things.  Several artists transform what was once alive into creative art and sculptures.  In the exhibit, Dead or Alive, artists use skeletons, plant materials, feathers, and other fauna to create statements about their environment.

The artists include Jennifer Angus, Nick Cave, Tessa Farmer, Tim Hawkinson, Jochem Hendricks, Damien Hirst, Alastair Mackie and others.  The show starts April 27 until October 24, 2010.  For more information, go to MAD's website.
