Bikes made from AK47 rifles
Cambodian artist Touun Tourneakea, 26, works on a bicycle sculpture made almost entirely of old AK-47 and M-16 rifles at a workshop in the capital Phnom Penh
The AK-MP3 player is built into the body of the ammunition magazine of Kalashnikov automatic rifle. Player could be used on its own or it could be attached to the Kalashnikov machinegun instead of the ordinary magazine. Stainless steel body makes this new player uniquely suitable for outdoors.
Based on a famous Mexican corrido song, TEMIBLE CUERNO DE CHIVO tells the story of a shoeshiner turned gunman whose fabled weapon, "Cuerno de Chivo" (Goat's Horn) is quickly able to eliminate any foe. His only weakness is a woman who despises him and for that, many in his path must die at the hand of of "El Cuerno de Chivo".
AK47 props for the theatre
Porcelin AK-47s by Charles Krafft
An exhibition in conjunction with the Republic of Slovenia's Ministry of Defense. Scheduled for October through November 1999 in Lubljana, Slovenia.
Meeting with arms dealers in Ljubljana's cafes and bars, Krafft made arrangements to borrow Kalashnikovs and AK-47s ("the little black dress of the military industrial complex," he calls the assault rifles) so that he could use them to make plaster slip-molds. He then created meticulously accurate castings of the guns in white porcelain and painted the weapons with flowers, text and other decoration in the traditional delftware blue. The resulting collection of lethal but dainty satire became part of a body of work that provoked Mark Del Vecchio, author of "Postmodern Ceramics," to declare Krafft "one of the USA's most seditious artists [who] plays difficult, uneasy games with content and culture."
At 54, the seditious artist -- also a celebrated painter, writer and scalawag -- has expanded his fine-china arsenal to include Thompson assault rifles, Uzi and Intratech machine pistols, Beretta and Smith & Wesson pistols, 50mm machine gun rounds, switchblade knives and hand grenades. His intention, he says, is to produce "life-size ceramic weaponry so gorgeous and patently functionless that it will bedazzle and confound everyone who sees it."
