Original artwork description:
In 1955 Doomtown was built at the Nevada Test Site, 65 miles north of Las Vegas. Its purpose was to test how structures would withstand an atomic bomb blast. The Office of Civil Defense was instructing Americans on how to prepare for and survive a nuclear blast. Kids were learning how to duck and cover with Bert the Turtle while Las Vegas was capitalizing on the testing by promoting atomic tourism with viewing parties, special cocktails and the search for Miss Atomic Bomb.
Doomtown features the face of a 1948 Admiral Bakelite TV, weighs 50 lbs and comes framed and wired for hanging.
Materials used:
MDO, Plexi, Color print, Acrylic, photo transfer, isolation coat, varnish
