Sorry, there’s no punchline. Terry Richardson photographed Belvedere Vodka’s Luxury Reborn campaign and here’s the commercial spot featuring himself, Vincent Gallo, Earsnot and the RZA on the mic. I guess that makes Belvedere officially downtown and underground. Can’t wait to steal a bottle from the next open bar!
Last night, Duffed Out and Killer of Giants opened Welcome to the Dustward at Max Fish. The show features work by Dan Murphy, Tim Walkiewicz, Stefan Simikich, Patrick Griffin, Serge Trudnowski and Jesse Geller. Read the interview with Duffed Out and check the flyers on their Myspace.
There are a few more photos after the jump, but if you’re boss isn’t down with nude collages, click carefully.
Gather around the fire because New York Magazine has a story to sell. This week’s tale, Chasing Dash Snow, is the story of Dan Colen, Ryan McGinley, and Dash Snow, artists of the so-called “Bowery School” of art. It’s an interesting read, but the article’s search for an explanation of Dash Snow and his work only comes up short and rehashes a old news, so we’ll just side with IRAK crew’s own review, penned by Kunle: “A great big wack story, unless you’re Dan or Ryan, then you came out smelling like roses.”
Rather than sharing some colorful anecdote about Dash, as we’ve done in the past, we’re borrowing another example of Kunle’s on point wordsmanship from the article.
Kunle was there, too; a camera crew making a show about him for the Sundance Channel trailed his every move. A little white kid in a baseball hat came up to him and Kunle said, “You had a smart mouth, and that’s why you got smacked the other day. I’m Earsnot and you’re Naw: Don’t forget it.” Simon Curtis, out of jail and in a tie-dyed T-shirt, laughed at this.
And we’re laughing too.
On this t-shirt IRAK offers their honest explanation of the streetwear game using simple cartoons so you don’t have to think too hard.
