Installation for Day of the Dead celebration at Nelson Atkins Museum of Art

Proposal #1 with projection mapping 

Central piece at Kirkwood hall

Another view of Proposal #1


It was a joy to draw over photographs to re-create the environment without using Photoshop

The center piece will be a translucent reference of an altar piece with added frosted looking Oaxaca skulls.
I have been invited to set up an installation piece as part of the Day of the Dead festival at the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, MO. This installation will open exactly on November 2nd 2014. Here are some preliminary ideas presented to the museum Director and staff to launch a 4 month planning project. All people involved at the museum are helpful and open to this new idea. It seems that they are not surprised by any challenge as they take them graciously. I am loosing count of all people I am coming in contact with to make this installation happen. Be there!
