Grizzly Proof
March 9th- April 12th, 2007

Hackett is the director of the Madagascar Institute, (a Brooklyn based art combine that builds dangerous carnival rides and stages large, unsanctioned street events that usually end with things exploding www.madagascarinstitute.com) and one of the creative forces behind Ars Subterranea (sprawling adventure games in forgotten, abandoned, and underground spaces- http://www.creativepreservation.org/). Hackett’s art has been called “Terrifying” by Fox News, and he has been assigned his very own FBI agent. He has not blown his face off in over three years, been called a terrorist since August of 2005, or been arrested since November of 2006.

Hackett is terrified of bears, and wishes to warn the world that the bears want to eat your balls.
