Michael Jordan, Save the World



A sculpture artist by the name of Norman Paris caught my attention on my daily during my search for mindless content to keep the site fresh with new intresting information.

Norman Paris’s sculpture and drawings are generated out of a search for heroes finding meaning and gallantry in pop culture figures as he examines the need for icons as both an individual and universal phenomenon.

In April of 2005 Norm displayed his "Michael Jordan, Save the World" installation at the Samuel S. Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia.

Even though this is old news, I thought everyone would really enjoy the work of this artist considering the irony that Norm grew up in Clevland as a Cav's fan hating Michael Jordan for obvious reasons.

Here are a few screen shots from the Studioscopic interview Norm did discussing the "Michael Jordan, Save the World" installation.
