Here’s a Minimalist Sculptural Tribute to Ian Curtis


February 14, 2013 | Andy Cush

Designer Derrick Cruz created this appropriately creepy, minimal bust of Ian Curtis, which shows the late Joy Division singer emerging, face-only, from a 10-inch solid porcelain block. He’s also made perhaps the artsiest Kickstarter video of all time in hopes of getting the thing funded, which you can watch above.

Cruz is no stranger to the whole rock star deification thing–check out this charming Moz likeness, available as a Kickstarter reward–and for the first run he hopes to cast 100 copies of the work, called Digital 18:05:80. A $250 pledge will get you one of your own.
