How Brendan Murphy s Giant Spaceman Landed in the Caribbean

Jaramay Aréf Photography The 22-foot, 3,000-pound, steel and carbon fiber spaceman, positioned arms up in a V inspired by a signature Michael Jackson pose, did not just land at the end of a pier at the Hodges Bay Resort in Antigua. The site-specific sculpture, titled The Boonji Spaceman, required three days, 12 men and a crane and custom scaffolding to erect and mount in five feet of solid concrete all designed to withstand up to a Category 4 hurricane. The commission is the result of a year-long endeavor between artist Brendan Murphy and Christopher Harding, an angel investor, and one of the hotel’s owners.

Antigua s Hodges Bay Goes Viral With Its New Boonji Spaceman – Repeating Islands

Most Instagram moments captured on a Caribbean jaunt involve epic sunsets or frothy drinks enjoyed poolside. But luxury resort Hodges Bay Resort & Spa has upped the ante on the shareable “wow factor” with its new monumental, site-specific installation, The Boonji Spaceman by contemporary artist, Brendan Murphy, whose signature spacemen sculptures are coveted by such celebrities as Serena Williams, Robert De Niro, Ryan Gosling and Novak Djokovic. Commissioned by collector and resort co-owner, Christopher Harding, the 22-feet tall, 3,000 pound chrome sculpture is the tallest sculpture of its kind in the Caribbean. “Originally I said, ‘Let’s do something they can see from space,’” said Murphy, who’s based in Malibu but keeps an industrial team in Miami. “My vision of art is ideas that can really move the needle. I’m in the “wow” business. If I can get people to say, ‘wow,’ I do well.”
