List of Columbine in art/pop culture

I could not find a list, so I start one with ... THESE:

1. "Love Letters/White Flag: The Book of God" - hand-embroidered handkerchiefs of Eric's journal

2. “Nothing Much Happened Today (for Eric and Dylan)” - cotton tapestry of the surveillance camera image of Eric and Dylan in the cafeteria

The tapestry even made it into the book Craftivism: The Art of Craft and Activism by Betsy Greer.

A painting by Eric and Dylan hangs in a German museum (a crime scene photo, if you know what I mean) On the website:

Krefeld is the first museum to have a rope painting by Fabian Marcaccio - a picture in which color is pressed through rope fabric , The picture, whose rampant color merges into the room, shows - viewed from a few meters away - the two young gunmen Eric and Dylan, who have directed themselves in the school library. The traces of blood and devastation are palpable. The weapon can still be seen in the foreground, the books in the library are now only pieces of color, tattered like the ideologies of the two students. Skipping ropes run to the arm of a perpetrator, who is identified as a puppet. "Eric & Dylan" is based on a police photo of the crime scene that somehow got onto the Internet. "Eric and Dylan" are not going back to the US. Now it is a matter of fact that Fabian Marcaccio's picture of the massacre at Columbine High School remains in the art museums in Krefeld.


I want to post the link, but that's not allowed, right?

The Love Letters art project is very interesting. I'd like to see it in person. I am kind of surprised that a museum would allow the project to be displayed.

Yes, especially so shortly after the Pulse shooting. Here is another exhibition: “Brig und Ladder” by Bunny Rogers at the Whitney Museum.

I googled it and wonder how their parents would feel about this. Seeing the suicide pic of your child made into a painting and being exhibited at a museum must be disturbing. :/

Thanks, I didn't know this.
It looks great!
