U.K's BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art is currently hosting an exhibition that is dedicated to the life and times of legendary actor Bill Murray. Created by Brian Griffith, this exhibit is unlike most pop culture-themed art shows.
Interested in the icon's "Murrayness," Griffith choose the actor as his latest muse for a show called 'BILL MURRAY: A Story of Distance, Size and Sincerity.' Currently running at Gateshead's BALTIC Centre, this exhibition focuses on the authenticity of the 'Lost In Translation' actor. The art showcase features nine mini models of buildings such as a Scottish mansion and an L.A beach house. Each home is given a Bill Murray makeover with an image of the actor plastered to its front.
While Griffith has coined it "a metaphysical adventure story with Bill," art lovers and Bill Murray fans have until the end of February 2015 to experience the bold exhibit.
