Robert Arneson's Egghead instalations


Robert Arneson was a master at ceramics and was a professor at UCD. For the University Arneson created a series of five large heads called eggheads meaning intellectuals. each head has its own name: Bookhead, Yin and Yang, Eye on Mrak ("Fatal Laff") which is shown in the image, and Star Gazer. They still remain on the UCD campus. The heads talk about the dualities between students and how we need the differences because they can sometimes bring us closer together, but also Arneson mostly wanted the work to be comical.
