The Lance Armstrong Foundation and Nike’s STAGES opened yesterday at Deitch Projects‘ temporary gallery space in New York. The traveling exhibition (which premiered in Paris in July) brings together a heavy hitting list of contemporary art’s biggest names including Richard Prince, Cai Guo- Qiang, Ed Ruscha, Kenny Scharf and Andreas Gursky, with the most respected artists who have crossed over from street and graffiti cultures. Ranging from painting and sculpture, to modified bikes, the works on display have been influenced by (some more literally than others), and will raise proceeds for the LIVESTRONG mission of raising awareness and fighting cancer.

How much is that Neckface in the window, the one with the human hair?

Neckface’s Devil’s Disciple opens on Halloween at O.H.W.O.W. Gallery in Miami’s Wynwood District. The dummy corpse already on public view in a gallery display window has gotten him an amusing bit of attention on Miami’s NBC New 6. Watch it below.

Favorite least reporterly quote from reporter on the scene: “I’m cruising through this intersection…and I’m like wait a second – did I just see what I think I saw?”

Most ridiculous quote from news anchor: “To me it looks like a hazard. You’re driving, you stop and the guy right next to you, right behind you – Boom!”

Neckface – Devil’s Disciple
Opens Oct 31
O.H.W.O.W
3100 NW 7 Avenue
Miami, Florida 33127
