bob conge's plaseebo - the awakening: for kaiju monster invasion @ art center of south florida (dec 3)
Bob Conge of Plaseebo sends word of his participation in the upcoming KAIJU MONSTER INVASION event @ the Art Center of South Florida, happening during Art Basel in Miami Beach. Kaiju Monster Invasion will be a multidisciplinary exhibition, whose primary focus is the artistic interpretation of Japanese kaiju* (*giant beasts from the golden age of Japanese film and television.). Curated by the Harold Golen Gallery, the show opens on December 3rd 2008 and runs thru January 4th 2009.
Bob's piece is titled: "PLASEEBO - The Awakening" and is inspired by that part in "The Legend of Plaseebo" story where the Mummy of the Japanese Pharaoh of Egypt, "Plaseebo", is awakened and released from his entombment by the two British archeologists who break into his pyramid one a dark night in 1803.

This is a one of a kind shadow-box diorama built in a hand crafted 8' X 13" X 21" wooden case with a glass front designed to hang on a wall (the style and antiqued finish of the wood case reflects a period Egyptian artifact). The glow in the dark vinyl figures have glass inset eyes and four of them have LED lights inside them that are switched from the outside of the case. Lurvin' the effect in a darkened environment tho.
(cheers for the headsup, Bob)
