Buried Alive for Art and Experience

May 7, 2013

Art provocateurs Monochrom buried me and several other brave patrons as part of their 20th anniversary closing exhibition at  MUSA gallery. 

The exhibition featured several dioramas that recreate different happenings and events of historic importance to Monochrom. The casket is a recurring piece that has traveled the world, appearing at the sex and culture summit in San Francisco, "Arse Elecktronica".  For that event, partners were allowed to be buried together. Monochrom co-founder Johannes Grenzfurthner explains that it's about recreating the sensationalism and mythos around the possibility of being buried alive. "It's an experience. Americans love experiences."
