  1. Allan McCollum

  2. Bio Allan McCollum was born in Los Angeles in 1944 Career Change in 1960s Applying strategies of mass production to handmade objects, McCollum’s labor-intensive practice questions the intrinsic value of the unique work of art. McCollum’s installations—fields of vast numbers of small-scale works, systematically arranged—are the product of many tiny gestures, built up over time.   Allan McCollum has had more than 100 solo exhibitions in Europe and the United States, where his work has appeared in major exhibitions

  3. Art 21 Segments Engaging assistants, scientists, and local craftspeople in his process, McCollum embraces a collaborative and democratic form of creativity. His drawings and sculptures often serve a symbolic purpose—as surrogates, faithful copies, or stand-ins for people—and are presented theatrically, transforming the exhibition space into a laboratory where artifice and context are scrutinized. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9163peNjqhU Process http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sQXTZll2BVs
