Gavin Turk’s Nomad, 2001
Gavin Turk’s Nomad, 2001
That’s no sleeping bag. It’s a big hunk of bronze, painted blue. Lifelike, the Walker Art Center’s traveling exhibit, celebrates trompe-l’oeil with a wonderland of pieces that “trick the eye.” A pink eraser is made of balsa wood and a Hefty trash bag is in fact a marble sculpture. Other pieces include works by Andy Warhol, Edward Ruscha, and Jasper Johns. Catch Lifelike at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, La Jolla, through May 27.
