Art Martian Museum of Terrestrial Art

  • Martian-museum_large

In Martian Museum of Terrestrial Art, a group of (fictional) Martian curators hand-pick contemporary artworks by 115 Earthlings. As the "curators" aren't from around here, however, they incorrectly interpret the pieces as banal objects, rather than revered objects of art. Barbara Hepworth's shapely 1957 wooden sculpture Icon, Francis Upritchard's unsavory 2003 Cigarette Necklace, and Dr. Larka's gruesome severed hand — 2006's Untitled (alajero con mano) — are all misunderstood to be functional human tools, as hilarity (and cultural commentary) ensues.
