Hung from the ceiling, this long-lasting, yet increasingly outmoded medium (and the information it contains) will take on new life that captures light, breathes, sways as it quietly takes over the space.

Damien Hirst DAMIEN HIRST Isonicotinoyl Chloride, 2005 Household gloss on canvas 84 x 84 inches (213.4 x 213.4 cm) Damien Hirst Listed Exhibitions (81 Kb)Damien Hirst Bibliography (122 Kb) Damien Hirst was born in Bristol in 1965. He studied at Goldsmiths College in London and first came to public attention in 1988 when he conceived and curated "Freeze," an exhibition of his work and that of his friends and fellow students at Goldsmiths. In the near quarter century since that pivotal show, Hirst has become one of the most prominent artists of his generation. Many of his works are widely recognized, from the shark suspended in formaldehyde, The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living (1991) and his spot, spin and butterfly paintings, through to later works such as the diamond skull For the Love of God (2007).
The New Guinea Sculpture Garden at Stanford During the summer of 1994, 10 master carvers from Papua New Guinea worked in residence to create a permanent outdoor sculpture garden of New Guinea Art at Stanford University. Jim Mason, Project Director and graduate student in anthropology, is responsible for bringing the artists from the Middle Sepik River Region of Papua New Guinea to Stanford. The project is not an attempt to recreate a traditional New Guinea environment but, according to Mason, "an opportunity to experiment with and reinterpret New Guinea aesthetic perspectives within the new context of a Western public art space." (The photographs included in this Web project are not intended to be a comprehensive documentation of all of the works present at the site.) Mike Peters
