nose art

"In Spring 2010, the idea of The Boneyard Project was first devised by Eric Firestone and organized by curator Carlo McCormick. What the project entailed was the revival of "nose art" which was popularized during the World War II era. It involves reinterpreting the body of an aircraft - a sort of airplane graffiti. Firestone's concept has since evolved into a larger goal in which various international contemporary artists are set to redesign the entirety of old, out-of-use military planes."
