Before you purchase that TV, monitor, or other hardware, check out Nari Ward’s Airplane Tears (2005) currently on exhibit at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art at Johnson County Community College.
This signature wall art is constructed with found TV backs and handkerchiefs. It is 39 feet wide, 16 feet high, and 2 feet deep.
Ward is known for creating art using discarded materials. His work forces the viewer to consider longevity, landfills, culture, consumption, and even humor in all that we consume.
To learn more about the Re-Presence exhibit, which runs through Aug. 29, see the Current Exhibitions page on the www.nermanmuseum.org site.
