at Contemporary Art Factory Steven Bachelder Born in San Diego, USA in 1961 Lives in Stockholm "Vicarious qualities through incremental repetition or Super heroes" (1996-) Bachelder is known for his series of humorous projects to juxtapose real and artificial nature (although both are considered "natural" today). In "Cherry Tree (1994-)," he attached artificial branches and flowers to a real tree. In "Siberian Huskies (1996)," he made realistic-looking Siberian Huskies with plastic models covered with fur. His other projects remind us of the simple pleasures of childhood. Those include: "Extra Vehiculars (1996)," in which he projects toys on a big screen and takes the audience into the world of toys "Vicarious Qualities Through Incremental Repetition Or Super Heroes (1997-)," in which the artist prepares the basecamp and provides toy weapons and Spiderman costumes for children to become heros to defeat art people.
