I've been to a and would strongly recommend it to anyone in the Paris area. His work is sooo much more impressive 'in the flesh'! A lot of the amazing translusency effects are lost when photographed. |

Wish I could attend. |

....is scary and apocalyptic. His Alien projects are classic. |

I wish I'd known this was on sooner. I could've gone to Paris for the day to see this. I've love it. Shame. Did you get some pictures TonyFish? |

They're all there on the site ( & ). By the way, the exhibition has been extended until the 6th of March so there's still time. Definately worth making a priority given that it's the "largest exhibition of the artist's work to ever take place outside of Switzerland". |

Actually I'm pissed I didn't find out about it earlier as he was there on the first day signing stuff :( |
||||||||

Awesome! I'll try and make it. It's a nice day trip :D |

I love giger Always wanted to go to one of the cafe's |

I always found his work a little bland and cheesy overall. Although I appreciate the atmosphere he puts in his pieces it never quite overcomes the fact that it's a pointy breasted woman with snakes crawling out of her eyes... I don't take much from it, he's probably much better suited to making film sets and the like. |

wish i could have attended too... Morton > wow, that's pretty weird as well. |

besides his other work, he deserves every accolade in the world just for designing the original Alien. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Trust me it's really much better 'in the flesh'. Much of his highlighting and translucency which make the works interesting from a technical point of view aren't apparent on photos (that or his work is always badly photographed which I doubt). When I showed my girlfriend some photos she had almost exactly the same reaction as you but she came of the exhibition enthralled. |

H.r. giger is one my fav artists; i'm collecting all his books, and i wish i could buy a harkonen chair..I've planned a trip to his museum in chur this year with a friend..i'm very curious about his work in real life..i've only seen one painting yet..wich ones have you seen? |

the only thing that irks me is that microphone stand he made for Korn. this his all to do with Korn and not so much the microphone stand itself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
qrter: It's just an adaptation of one of his sculptures really. He just sliced the top of her hair off and added the microphone so it wasn't exactly made 'for' Korn. -crazone: The exhibition had all his major works including a few of the creature prop designed for alien. You could even see the wire supports on the alien head for the chopped-up condoms which were used to model the 'lips'. The original alien statue wasn't there but I was fortunate enough to see it auctioned at Christies when I was living in london. Check the pics. |

Technically it is impressive, and I probably would enjoy an exhibition. Its just that rarely do I see anything particularly 'artistic' from him. The best result is the general cold or brooding flavour he makes, which is why I think stuff like the Alien pieces are what he's made for. |

my old roommate was going to get an hr giger tattoo on her arm, a huge one. that'd be one for the grandkids. |
||||||||

i have 4 hr giger posters in my room, and whats really interesting is how eerie the skin texture looks under my black light. |
||||||||

if i knew about this before I could have gone for the day :( i saw the taschen Giger book the other day for cheap, might have to get that. I've always liked the Dune tank he designed, did he do many more designs for Dune? |
||||||||

|
|
take some lsd and watch the three landscapes: XX, XVIII, XIX: you will understand life...:) |
||||||||
|
|

|

He did the harkonnen chairs and table for Dune. It's such a shame that the first version of Dune was abandonned. It had fucking Salvador Dali in it for christ's sake!! |

I curse Geiger! He broke up the Dead Kennedys with his obscene Penis Landscape! |

The Beksinski homepage is good-looking. |

Beksinski is the guy who was in a coma except he wasnt, that was all bollocks. I'm desperately wanting a Beksinski book but I can't find one. |
