An inflatable five-metre tall sculpture, mixing a bust of the ancient Greek poet Homer with the head of animation character Homer Simpson, is among the highlights of an artist fair held in Sydney from 18 to 21 March.
This won’t be the first appearance of Homer Homer Down Under. The artwork by European artist collective Cool Shit was seen in December 2020 at the Sculpture by the Sea exhibition, staged on Cottesloe Beach in Western Australia.
But artists state “excited” about the sculpture’s Sydney debut at the Other Art Fair.
The amalgamation of the Odyssey and Iliad author with one of the greatest comic creations is like a meme coming to life, only it’s huge and made of fabric.
