You wanna go see a dead body? On Saturday night, artist Nate Hill opened his studio to unveil a life-sized human sculpture sewn out of animal parts, appropriately titled the A.D.A.M. Project (A Dead Animal Man). The parts used in the sculpture were scavenged from Chinatown garbage piles to Florida roadkill and include chicken, conch, cow, crab, deer, dog, duck, eel, fish, frog, lobster, rabbit, and shark. It was great to see up close and we’re looking forward to the E.V.E. Project.

This was a one time viewing of the A.D.A.M. Project but you can see some of Nate Hill’s taxidermy in person at Better Beasts, a group show opening at Broadway Gallery (473 Broadway, 7th Floor) this Friday. You can also read an interview with him in the Wildlife issue of ANIMAL magazine. Interestingly, Saturday’s unveiling coincided with the four year anniversary of a giant sperm whale exploding on the streets of Tainan.
