McCormick Assembles Art Team For Aircraft Project

Writer and Curator Carlo McCormick has assembled an impressive group of artists to re-imagine a not often considered object: the front ends of aircrafts. Working with raw material from bone yards (retired airplane dumping grounds) in Arizona, participating artists each received the nose of an airplane to do with as they pleased. The results, varying from the decorative to the re-purposed, will go on display at the Eric Firestone Gallery in East Hampton starting on July 15. Artists include Dan Colen, Peter Dayton, Raymond Pettibon, Richard Prince, Kenny Scharf and Aaron Young.
