Homecoming for Mark Dean Veca
With his recent relocation from New York to California, Mark Dean Veca has wasted no time getting back to work. The artist is currently prepping Phantasmagoria, an ambitious installation at his alma mater (Veca is a 1985 alum), Otis College of Art and Design. The exhibit coincides with Veca’s residency at Otis and the college’s 90th anniversary. From the looks of these images, some exciting new artist references are emerging in Veca’s imagery, including nods to Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons and KAWS. Exhibit runs Oct. 11- Dec. 6 at Otis’ Ben Maltz Gallery.

This is not Johnston’s first foray into product collaborations.
