SHEPARD FAIREY: May Day exhibit at Deitch Projects
May 12th, 2010 by Planet Chocko
Shepard Fairey’s latest work, “May Day” on display at the Deitch Projects on Wooster Street-NYC. Shepard also shows off some portraits of trailblazers in areas of art & culture that he finds inspiring including the Dalai Lama, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Iggy Pop, Bob Dylan, & Neil Young. Of course, I was unable to capture the newest portraits on display with Debbie Harry(Blondie) & Muhammad Ali due to our wonderful timing of entering with 5 minutes remaining before closing time. You can also check out Shepard’s “May Day” street mural on the legendary corner of Houston & Bowery streets in lower Manhatty,NYC! The May Day mural should be up for about 6 months on Houston & Bowery with a few “tagged” modifications. Tagged..cleaned up…tagged..cleaned up..it’s street art, y’all!
