The Boneyard Project: Art on Abandoned Airplanes
“The Boneyard Project” is an art exhibition of scrapped military
aircraft that have been repurposed as canvases for contemporary artists.
The project involves making of decorative paintings and graffiti on the
fuselage of World War II era military aircrafts that lie abandoned in
the infamous “Boneyard” in Arizona desert, the USA. The idea of The
Boneyard Project was first conceived by Eric Firestone and organized by
curator Carlo McCormick in the spring of 2010. Firestone’s concept has
since evolved into a larger goal in which various international
contemporary artists are set to redesign the entirety of old, out-of-use
military planes.
The first instalment of this series, called “The Boneyard Project: Nose Job”, was comprised of works from over a dozen artists. The second part of the project held last year was titled “The Boneyard Project: Return Trip” and featured more than 30 artists including Brazilian street artist Nunca, Los Angeles-based Retna, Swoon and many others.
