Book signing by Fahamu Pecou at the Conduit Gallery and 80's party.

March 16th from 7- 10 p.m.

After party at Glo


Why You Should Care: Fahamu Pecou really may be the next international art superstar. You should meet him and get to know his work. Fahamu's art examines the intersection between celebrity, hip hop, and "high" art culture. The party at the Conduit should be pretty amazing, over 200 confirmed guests. Oh and a birdie told us that there will be a FREE full bar - margaritas anyone?


Why I Care: Fahamu and I met in Portobelo, Panama in 2005 and his work tremendously influenced my own - especially in my legendary (in Davidson, NC) I AM ART campaign. I also want to marry his assistant. You can read about it here.



Long time, Art Starrers! Click to view at original size. It's a smidge smudgy -- I'm still cutting my teeth on artwork -> PDF conversion -- but you get the idea.

Smartblackboy hisself dropped this catchy nugget ("You can't fake real!") in a cell phone conversation some time back, and I was inspired to slap it onto one of my extensively back-catalogued I Am Art b-side photographs to bring y'all a spankin' new flyer. This confirms my suspicion that I Am Art is not simply a sextacular installation art piece whose physical manifestation crescendoed nearly two years ago, but a lifestyle. To our model, SL, wherever you are, I give you props for being patient and beautiful in spite of my near-total lack of photo-know-how.

For the curious, the flash player embedded below contains Andrew Bird's witty and whimsical "Lull" from his album Weather Systems, which soundtracked this flyer's creation. It makes a wonderful soundtrack for viewing the flyer as well.
