Britney
Spears Hits Inspire Odd Art Show
4/29/08
Britney Spears' number one hits have been turned into art pieces for a
new Arizona exhibition.
Current and former Arizona State University graduate students have
created a series of mixed media exhibits inspired by 11 Spears
chart-toppers.
The Number Ones show, which opens on Friday (02May08) at the LAS
Gallery in Phoenix, will feature video, photographic and mixed media
inspired by Spears' biggest hits.
One piece, a sexy apron made from a lace tablecloth, was inspired by
2000 hit Oops!... I Did It Again.
Artists Mindy Sue Meyers, who admits to being a big fan of the troubled
pop superstar, says, "The stitching on the apron offers a different
identity to what would be a normal, homemaker apron.
"This is a duality that I think Britney has struggled with since
she became a pop star."
For another exhibit, inspired by Spears' first hit ...Baby, One More
Time, artist Nick DeFord has depicted a smiling Spears using black and
blue push pins on a corkboard.
