Artist Jill Miller's Waiting for Bigfoot project ended last weekend in northern California, but an unrelated group show of bigfoot-related art is currently running in New York City. The Chelsea gallery's Sasquatch Society exhibit includes paintings, drawing, videos, and sculptures like the piece shown here by Jennifer Sullivan. From today's New York Times:
The cleverest contribution is a two-part piece by Becca Baldwin. A small, doctored photograph appears to document Yves Klein's directing a group of bigfeet in a painting performance, as he once did using the bodies of naked women as expressionistic brushes. Next to the photograph is a work that presumably resulted from the performance: a canvas bearing a big blue footprint.Other works are either portraits or fanciful narratives in a wide variety of styles. Ketta Ioannidou paints herself as a cartoonish bigfoot striding through the woods wearing only red bikini briefs. Megan Whitmarsh embroiders little yetis on fabric.
