Funky Junky

Bill Keaggy is a self-described collector, maker and breaker of things, whose Web site alone could distract you for hours at a time.

Log on to www.keaggy.com and you’ll find his blog on “all things sandwichy,” links to wacky sites that will have you leave you breathless, photo collections that include pictures taken the morning after Mardi Gras and a year-long project during which a shot of Keaggy was snapped each day of his 30th year. You’ll also laugh at his many collections, ranging from rocks shaped like shoes to old cameras.

To really appreciate his genius, though, we recommend checking out his collections firsthand during the exhibit “Junk Science,” which opens tonight at COCA. On his site, Keaggy promises that some of the things you’ll find there include rust stains, trees growing out of buildings and other people’s grocery lists … but we can also guarantee plenty of smiles and an eye-opening good time.
