Trimpin

I wish I wish I WISH! that I could see his exhibit. Its hard to forget a name like Trimpin though so I hope to one day see(hear/experience) his work in person. Listening to the descriptions of his installments, being that they combine visual and artistic elements with music, it reminded me a lot of the Blueman Group when I was able to see them live in Las Vegas. I thought that they were just a strange advertising gimmick for Pentium but they're actually amazing artists who do similar work by intregrating visual art displays with physical comedy and theatrical elements and of course they're percussive and melodic music. I would be curious to know if there are any connections between the performers and Trimpin in their training or study.

A full-length documentary about Trimpin and his work will be released in 2008 -- watch for it!
