2014, Aeroplastics Contemporary, Brussels, BE
Imagine my surprise when I visited Brussel's Aeroplastics Contemporary and stumbled across this shark installed atop the gallery's stair case. This extremely fragile shark(notice the tail's detailed points)was cast from an actual shark owned by the Royal Natural History Museum. Not only did it arrive in a custom-made crate, but it was held up in US customs until right before their show opened at my gallery.
