Conceived in Spring 2010 by Eric Firestone, and organized with curator Carlo McCormick, The Bone Yard Project resurrected disused airplanes from America‟s military history through the creative intervention of contemporary artists, taking entire airplanes and their elements out of aeronautic resting spots in the desert, known as “bone yards,” and putting them into the hands of artists. The exhibistion was on show from January 28 –May 31 2012 at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson.
