Outsiders NYC
London-based Lazaridies packed this run-down, downtown NY warehouse for the VIP preview of Outsiders, a two-week pop-up show featuring an array of international street-art stars and up-and comers. Crowds lined up throughout the evening to to catch a glimpse of this highly anticipated and hyped event. While there was no shortage of fashionable guest-listers and eye-candy, the two-floor exhibit is somewhat of a mixed bag, with the strongest works coming from Dave Choe, Conor Harrington, Todd James (REAS), and Antony Micallef. Read on for The Art Collectors’ extensive photo recap. Read the rest of this entry »

Kaws Walks the Line
Kaws continues to walk the line between fine art and pop culture consumerism. Last week marked the opening of his first solo gallery show in several years at Miami’s Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin, coupled with the announcement of his second official Star Wars collaboration, a custom Stormtrooper that serves as an excellent companion (if you get it, please excuse the lame joke) to his previously released Darth Vader figure. More show images after the jump.

Futura_Strategic_Synchronicity_Los Angeles_2008.
Hours after wrapping up the whirlwind that was Strategic Synchronicity, I can finally take a moment to breathe. In the final minutes of the show, I took the time to take my own pictures.
As a partner in KRUNK, this was not only our first project but also Futura’s largest show ever. We are extremely proud that the response was nothing short of phenomenal. Thank you to everyone involved.
Contrasting most shots found on the web, these photos are taken moments before we started taking down paintings. Other places you’ll find coverage of the event are: Sour Harvest, Hypebeast, SlamxHype, VinylPulse, The Social Trust, The Gluttony, Metromix_LA, Juxtapoz, BBallJunkies, Gorilli, Quality Control, JB Classics Lab, Asketch, Frolab, etc.
