Minky
Every year, the innovative art gallery Foreign Form hosts an exhibition in partnership with Blamo to have artists and designers reimagine and transform their iconic "Minky" sculpture.
In 2020, the Made Shop created this piece for the exhibition in Denver.
Disciplines
- Creative Direction
- Sculpture
The exhibition starts with all the designers receiving a "naked" Minky sculpture:
There are no rules.
The first thing we did was name our new friend...
"Cosmic Minky"
We used an experimental ultra-black carbon nanotube paint that absorbs 99.99% of all light.
All contours disappear into pure, flat shadow.
We punctuated this black void with a constellation of tiny brass "stars."
In the flat emptiness, a chaotic order asserts itself.
And, in the end, we're all just stardust.
