Blackberry Face, Celebrity Lookalike Edition


This week, the EADJ Gallery was notified of a possible addition (or additions) to their vaunted "Blackberry Face" collection, now currently on display at the Serpentine Gallery in London.  The items in question were captured on a NJ Transit train and sent in with the heading "Kevin Bacon Blackberry Face?" See the entries below:



The resemblance is noticeable. And our gallery has confirmed that yes, the lookalike is sporting a true "Blackberry Face."



But as impressive and exquisite as this latest find is, the EADJ Gallery unfortunately cannot add "Kevin*" to their collection solely based upon its resemblance to a Hollywood actor. Although such an addition would invite stimulating new commentary on the entertainment industry and its role in pop culture, that is not the purpose of the Blackberry Face show. It is to the discretion of the gallery curators whether a piece is worthy of inclusion in this growing collection, and unfortunately "Kevin*" does not make the cut.


The current show at the Serpentine Gallery in London will run until April 18. Tickets are £10 (£5 for members) and can be purchased online or at the box office. Children under 5 are free but must be accompanied by an adult. No strollers.
