The Sculptor of Dreams

Fri, 19 Oct 2012 17:16:00 GMT

It’s generally assumed that up-and-coming artists ‘starve’ for their work, but how many can claim they’ve been shot? Chris Burden—the L.A.-based artist whose Urban Light, his 2008 installation of some 200 street lamps that forms the entryway to the L.A. County Museum of Art and has become a symbol of Los Angeles—can. This video captures Shoot, Burden’s 1971 performance-art piece in which he has a friend shoot him at close range with a rifle.

Burden survived, and with works like Urban Light and this year’s Metropolis II (the making of which is documented below), he moved from the frayed edge to the sparkling center of L.A.’s art establishment.

It’s the irony of celebrity: Some of the most recognizable faces change the most often thanks to access to the world’s best plastic surgeons. Did they? Didn’t they? Some of the stars featured in these videos, which depict the aging faces of Cher, Madonna, Priscilla Presley, Mickey Rourke, and the late Michael Jackson, aren’t saying. That doesn’t mean the effects of time (and cosmetic procedures) aren’t clear
