Electric Coffin’s Boxes of Death 3D traveling art show has come to life once again for its third year of unique exhibition. 50 handmade coffins, meticulously designed and presented by 50 individual artists, will travel from Seattle to Portland and finally Los Angeles as a part of the tour.
Each artist in the Boxes of Death 3D tour uses the same coffin canvas format to create their own artistic statement surrounding the preconceived notions and ideas that surround the coffin shape. The installation will showcase artists from the farthest reaches of the continental United States and will highlight an incredibly diverse range of creative backgrounds.
Seattle’s DIY think tank, event space, art gallery and home of Electric Coffin – The Piranha Shop – hosted the first installment of the tour, where death resided through the month of March. The tour then traveled to Nemo Design in Portland has landed at The Holding Company in Los Angeles for the LA Art Walk on Thursday April 12th.
The Holding Company is a beautiful 4500 sqft multi-use space settled in the Los Angeles area minutes from Downtown, Echo Park, Silverlake, and Hollywood. The event space has hosted a range of art installations, film shoots, fashion shows and private events, most recently Comune’s “Throttled” event featuring photography from Ray Gordon. www.theholdingco.net
Electric Coffin is an art based creative firm founded in 2009. Our slogan “Built from Death” embraces the notion of using salvaged materials and reworking old imagery to create something new. Everything we create is handmade and one of a kind. Based out of Seattle, the company was founded by two local artists Patrick “Duffy” De Armas and Justin Kane Elder.
