Tim Hawkinson’s poetic manipulations at Getty Museum of L.A.

Par Pierrick Moritz

The Getty Museum of Los Angeles presents till september, 9  Zoospia, an exhibition of four new works of the contemporary artist Tim Hawkinson. These visual hallucinations are artistic therapy between animals and human beings for, for example, an immense pink octopus whose body is a collage of differents part of  human hand and whose suckers are human lips (this work is on the exhibition poster). We can also see the sculpture of a  dinosaur skeleton : its vertebras are human beings. Be careful : Tim Hawkinson’s work bewitches.

A monumental and musical installation Überorgan, an other Tim Hawkinson’s work, is also suspended from the ceiling of the Museum’s entrance hall.

    This site is a excellent. I had not understood that the big installation in the Museum’s entrance Hall was Hawkinson’s work. I add this information and the address of the site in the article.
    Thanks.
