Forget walls! PAINT PLANES!!!!

THE BONEYARD PROJECT just had its opening last month in the middle of Tuscon Arizona at the Pima Air and SPace Museum featuring old planes painted by contemporary artists!

Conceived in Spring 2010 by Eric Firestone, and organized with curator Carlo McCormick, “The Bone Yard Project” is a program resurrecting disused airplanes from America’s military history through the creative intervention of contemporary artists, by taking entire airplanes and their elements out of aeronautic resting spots in the desert, known as “bone yards,” and putting them into the hands of artists. With a nod to the airplane graffiti and ‘nose art’ that became popular during WWII, the project offers a populist and accessible vision of the modern wonder by which humanity takes to the air through some of the most prominent and acclaimed artists working today. 

“Round Trip: Art from the Bone Yard Project” including DC Super 3 planes painted by graffiti artists How & Nosm, Retna, and Nunca, a C97 cockpit by Saner, and a C45 by Faile. 

There was also LIVE PLANE PAINTING by San Francisco artist Andrew Schoultz at the opening.

As well as reinterpreted airplane nose cone art including work by Richard Prince, Lee Quinones, Saner, Kenny Scharf, Aiko, Futura, Peter Dayton, JJ Veronis, Mare,Tara McPherson, Crash, Daze, Ron English, Erik Foss, Tristan Eaton, Lisa Lebofsky, Mark Ryden, Walter Robinson, Colin Chillag, Judith Supine, El Mac, Hector Ruiz, Ryan Wallace, Jameson Ellis, Daniel Martin Diaz, Mark Kostabi, Eric White, Randy Slack and Faile, among others!
