The CONGRESSIONAL CONFESSIONAL at Artomatic

John Aaron's "CONGRESSIONAL CONFESSIONAL" at DC's Artomatic
was an installation where politicians & voters came to repent their sins...
The Book of Sins was full in the first week...
A reading of "The Book" will be videotaped
in time for the Inauguration.

Sculptures included:
"DC Quarter: The Madness of King George,"
"Stop It, You're Skilling Me,"
"Senator Staunch," "Recount Your Blessings,"
"There, There...Did You Have a Nightmare?,"
M. Planisek's photcollage painting, "Uncle Scam"
and "Chuckles & Co.," Aaron's Infamous Porcelain Skulls.

ARTOMATIC and this Installation took place at the
old Capital City Children's Museum,
Washington, DC Nov. 12 - Dec. 5 2004.

This installation was featured online
