20 SKYLAR HASKARD

Altered Objects from Octagonal Erection, 2005
shoei motorcycle helmet, wood, xerox cut-outs, 9" x 60" x 14"

Skylar Haskard’s work includes “performance, video and sculptural installation elements,” most of which can be seen in Altered Objects from Octagonal Erection. Haskard performs the phallus in his fantasy “erection” plastered with cut-out images of naked female bodies and “chicks on bikes” clamoring around the pasty-white column and crowned by a shiny helmet. An internationally-educated artist, Haskard received his BFA from the Glasgow School of Art and his MFA from University of California, Los Angeles. Group exhibitions include shows at Transmission Gallery in Glasgow, UCLA Fowler Museum, MAK Center in Los Angeles, and Black Dragon Society, culminating in his first solo exhibition this year at Anna Helwing Gallery, Los Angeles.
