The Vader Project




























Dans le cadre du 30ème anniversaire de Star Wars, le salon Star Wars Celebration IV qui se déroule actuellement au Los Angeles Convention Center du 24 au 28 Mai 2007, présente l'exposition The Vader Project (par Master Replicas et Dov Kelemer de DKE Toys).

Ce projet réunit 75 artistes (Shag, Paul Frank, Tim Biskup, Frank Kozik, Marc Ecko, Amanda Visell, J. Otto Seibold, Gary Baseman, Joe Ledbetter, Urban Medium, Jeff Soto...entre autres) qui doivent customiser une réplique du casque de Darth Vador.

L'exposition voyagera ensuite à travers le monde dans plusieurs galeries et musées.




The Vader Project, a reimagining of the iconic Darth Vader helmet by some of today's hottest pop and underground artists, will have its World Premiere May 24 to 28th, 2007 at Star Wars Celebration IV , a landmark event being held at the Los Angeles Convention Center to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars .

The Vader Project is presented by Master Replicas Inc. and curated by Dov Kelemer of DKE Toys. Kelemer gathered 75 of the hottest underground and pop surrealist painters, artists and designers to participate. Each artist was given a Master Replicas 1:1 scale prop replica of the actual Darth Vader helmet used in the Star Wars films. Each helmet served as a blank canvas for each artist to paint, design, mash up, and customize.

Artists include Shag, Paul Frank Sunich , Mr Cartoon, Frank Kozik, Marc Ecko, Amanda Visell, Tim Biskup, J. Otto Seibold, Gary Baseman, Joe Ledbetter, Jeff Soto and many more.

After the premiere at Star Wars Celebration IV the plan is for exhibition to travel to museums, galleries, and events around the world. The helmets will then be offered publicly at auction.
