Went to Shepard Fairey’s May Day exhibition

May 03rd, 2010

Saturday was the opening of Shepard Fairey’s much publicized exhibition at New York’s Deitch Projects, incidentally the last showing at this famed gallery. I went with my brother (as I was also DJing the afterparty) and we checked out the mob scene. This was also New York’s first weekend of proper summer weather, so it was a great day to be out. In attendance, on one hand you could find the veritable who’s who of “street art”: Lee Quinones, Haze, Kaws, Fab 5 Freddy; and on the other hand, a bunch of eccentric old art collectors in pastel suits. Dave and I ran into home old friends and ended up just discussing secret food spots in our neighborhood.

Congrats to Shepard for the overwhelming success!

Shepard Fairey interviewed by Charlie Rose

February 04th, 2009

The amount of media attention that Shepard has gotten lately is astounding, but definitely well earned. Here he speaks to Charlie Rose about designing my Dirty South Dance CD his ubiquitous Obama poster.

Shepard was named one of GQ Magazine’s men of the year, and he currently has an retrospective exhibition at the ICA/Boston called “Supply And Demand”.
