os·su·ar·y (osh-oo-er-ee)
noun: repository of bones
"For this project, Laurie Beth Clark invited hundreds of artists to create a single bone, a cluster of bones, or an art work that is inspired by, uses, or plays with the idea of bones.
Ossuary was inspired by the repositories of bones that have accrued in countries like Cambodia and Rwanda where mass violence has taken place. But Ossuary is not a project about those traumas. Rather, artists counter images of pain with hopeful or poignant rejoinders. Envisioning hope for the world is one of the things that art can do."
Here is an installation shot from the show. This was taken from the the Ossuary project site, for more images of the show check it out at: http://ossuaries.wordpress.com/venues/
This is the second "Ossuary" exhibition. The first Ossuary was installed at the Chazen Museum of Art in Madison, Wisconsin from 1 February to 1 April 2012. My piece is in the upper left hand corner of the image. The show travels next to Indianapolis IN.
