Located in 100 Acres’ central meadow, Funky Bones is a group of 20 fiberglass benches emblazoned with depictions of bones that together take the form an enormous, stylized human skeleton. The project draws on artist Joep Van Lieshout’s interest in the body, as well as in pre-history and relics.With the bones emerging from the ground like archeologically revealed specimens the work reveals itself progressively upon approach. Funky Bones is designed to a site for resting, climbing, and picnicking. Commissioned by the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Courtesy of the Artist and Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, New York.
