Unlike most Taxidermy, the pieces in this show are composed primarily of roadkill, discarded livestock, destroyed nuisance animals and creatures that have died from natural causes. ANIMALS ARE NOT KILLED IN THE WORK, but used to open a dialogue about death and taxidermy.

Chris Burden: Metropolis II
Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)
January 14, 2012 through January 31, 2013
On view only at scheduled times, Burden's massive cityscape is a monument to the quality of quantity, a classic Burden shock-and-awe technique. Thousands of matchbox-sized cars zip among buildings and trains, creating a cacophonous, mesmerizing tableau. It suggests a giant gerbil habitat, and is no doubt meant to appeal to that urban sense of being rats in a maze. Outstanding, thought-provoking, and highly entertaining. Bring the kids; bring the grandparents. A guaranteed crowd pleaser.
