in honor of the (dead!) owls and other birds in roni horn's show at the ICA, this past weekend i got to kick it with a bunch of kiddos and six (live!) owls- saw-whet, screech, barred, great horned, snowy, & eurasian eagle owl- in the museum.
live owls:
horn's 'dead owl' (1998):
horn's "bird" series, photographs of the backs of the heads of taxidermied icelandic waterfowl, is great too:
another swell dead owl in a contemporary art museum in the past year was jason dodge's "four carat black tourmaline and half-carat ruby inside an owl," part of the walker art center's amazing "the quick and the dead" show last year.
