Mr. Brainwash "Life is Beautiful" Show review


How much is an endorsement by Sheppard Fairey, the genius behind the "Obey Giant" Phenom? a line of people 3 blocks long to get into your art show. You can't argue with a line that is three blocks long. It was a wall of people waiting to get in for 3 hours. the DJ set by Mr Fairey left something to be desired, but it was abou the art, right? The only theme tying the work was that it was by the same artist. Pop culture mashups, stencils, graffiti, installation, a little of everything. An impressive body of work to put out all at once for the public eye to scrutinize in a setting made to analyze the work outside of "street art". the building it seld was very interesting, one of the messages left on the wall was by a former employee that their desk was in that very spot for 5 years.

only open for a few days, I recommend it for novelties sake.
