Erik Boker: Product Dissections

Posted by: Rachel Hulin    Posted date: August 28, 2008  |  25 Comments

Continuing with our theme of craftiness today, here are some of Erik Boker‘s product dissections.

From Boker’s project statement:

“I am interested in the notions of art as commercial product, art as
artifact, and the nature of the museum, and I continue to explore our
understanding of their roles, and the inherent beauty, humor, and
horror that lies within them.”

Horror is Aquafresh’s thorax, spread wide for all to see.
