A London music studio has re-created the heart-stopping moment Michael Jackson dangled his nine-month-old son from a fifth-floor Berlin hotel balcony.
Madonna and Child, a life-sized sculpture of the late king of pop with baby Prince Michael II, has been installed at Premises in Hackney, causing passers-by to do a double-take.
Los Angeles-based artist Maria von Köhler, a former Royal Academy of Arts student, was commissioned to create the piece, made of polyester resin, finished in acrylic and wax. It is on display until May 1 then moves to LA.

Michael Jackson arrives at The Premises



As regular visitors here may have already noticed, there is a new sculpture suspended twenty feet up on the side of our building. It’s a life-sized depiction of the moment in Berlin in 2002, when Michael Jackson dangled his baby out of the window. Strange as it may seem, it’s called Madonna and Child and it’s been installed in our office window. Swedish-born sculptor Maria von Köhler spent six months, first modelling it in clay then, from a plaster mould, it was cast in polyester resin and finished in acrylic and wax.
Maria von Köhler has exhibited widely since she graduated with an MA from the Royal Academy Schools, Royal Academy of Arts in London in 2003. Her work is housed in collections worldwide, including The Zabludowicz Collection and The David Roberts Art Foundation, London. Von Köhler has held solo exhibitions at Seventeen, IMT and The Kiosk Project, London, as well as Seeline Gallery, Los Angeles and Galerie Lieser, Berlin. Other exhibition highlights include: When We Build Let Us Think We Build Forever, BALTIC, Gateshead; Larry’s Cocktails, Gagosian Gallery, London; National Geographic, Faggionato Fine Art, London; RightOn/Write Off, Chapman Fine Arts, London; Fresh, MOCA, Los Angeles; Selected Sculpture, Max Wigram Gallery, London.


Madonna and Child is on display at 209 Hackney Rd until May 1st 2011.
 
Oh please tell me this is a sick April Fool's joke!

I really hate the fact that people just can't get over the balcony incident! Michael made a mistake, it happend almost 10 years ago. GET OVER IT! There's milking it and then there's buying the cow, chopping it up and eating it as hamburger
 
This isn't the only sick article which appeared online today.

There's a second one as well, and it's much worse than this one.

I won't post it here, it certainly isn't an article for sensitive fans, and yes, by reading the article, you will get sick. And no, I'm not overreacting.

For those who think they can handle it, click here to know what it's about, and when you have the strength to send an email, please do so.

Sad and sick little minds, I pity them for their lack of charity and respect.
 
WTF is that ?

How can they write something like that ? I wish the worst for them.

Painful death.
 
The fact that this person devoted his time to make that thing, when he could have used the same time to create something beautiful or useful to other people, tells me more about his own mental and emotional state.
 
Yuck

My email to them:

Hello, I'm contacting you regarding your recent choice to display a sculpture of Michael Jackson holding his son over the balcony of a hotel window, entitled Madonna and Child. I find this sculpture highly insulting and inappropriate. I please ask that you remove the sculpture and please do not make attempts to send it to LA. This incident, which occurred nearly 10 years ago is very old hat now, and Michael Jackson even apologized for his mistake back then. He was only trying to show his son to the fans down below, when they asked him to. That event was then blown out of proportion and twisted by the media. I feel that the money that was put into creating and displaying this sculpture could have been put to better use, such as donations to charity perhaps? A charity for the arts maybe?

Thanks for taking the time to read my message.

A waste of talent, time, and resources. It's absolutely tasteless and degenerate.

I agree and it's also dangerous to have this tacky piece hanging out of the window as passersby could mistake it for an actual person. From a distance, this may resemble MJ but close-up it looks like the character from that Scary Movie. As art, this is a poor rendition of Michael.
 
These ppl are seriously nuts! and they say that mj was nuts, they should take a look at themselves.


And i cant belive they actually entitled it "madonna & child"...have they lost their mind gosh

I agree. This is sick. Thanks for posting...I am going to give them a piece of my mind...omg.
 
I tried finding contact details for "Maria von Köhler" but couldn't find anything at all...
Isn't that extremely strange? An "artist" that can't be contacted?

Thank you for complaining, all...
Please don't forget the second article as well!
 
This Maria von Kohler is one sick person. Check out some of her sick sculptures from this website...WARNING: VERY DISTURBING

THE MOTHER OF ALL BABIES

MARIA VON KÖHLER


060707132548.gif




In front of you, looking up with huge blue eyes, droops an obese cherub. Her folds of flesh sag and droop around the strapping that suspends her from the ceiling. Her wings are far too small to have ever gotten her flabby torso of the ground. The figure in this piece, Way Down South, 2007, is naked, adorned with tight, curly (afro?) hair and conspicuous genitals. The swollen, corpulent figure appears deranged, possibly mentally impaired?

Across the gallery, a second form is suspended from a baby harness facing the wall. This torso has no head, just a sagging midriff and swollen legs.
In her first exhibition for this space, Maria von Kohler presents a series of new objects, originally produced in clay and then cast in fibre-glass and coloured. These particular works are linked by a range of sources, spanning toys, trophies, memorabilia, monuments, propagandist artifacts and in particular the long history of mythical childlike figures in sculpture, which culminated in eroticized 18th century putti, amorini and cherubs. The artists practise, characterized by skillfully crafted, figurative sculptures, typically employs a broad amalgamation of references, to produce a rich yet elusive art object that can evade a linear reading.


Maria von Kohler is a graduate of the Royal Academy Schools and divides her time between London and Los Angeles.

If this is how she sees the world, there's no remedy for her.

And if the sculptor was a man, people would be more intolerant with this kind of art.
 
I'm sorry... but that person is not well mentally. I can't write anything to those people, they may well be the same.

....*scared now*
