O’Callaghan is Monumental

Sep 17 2010

MFAD’s resident master builder and conceptualist, Kevin O’Callaghan’s book “Monumental: The Reimagined World of Kevin O’Callaghan” by faculty member Deborah Hussey and foreword by co-chair Steven Heller is published this month by Harry N. Abrams.

O’C assures one and all that no Photoshop was used in the creation of the monumental projects therein. Not even the cover, which shows a dwarfed O’C before his ten foot tall analog TV.

The book, the first permanent record of his major exhibitions, is filled with O’C’s most illuminating projects, including “Yugo Next” and “Bedtime Rituals.”
