7/07/2007 saw some serious partying worldwide and Brooklyn was no exception. To launch their new vintage running collection, NIKE hosted a day of events centered around the company’s illustrious 1970’s running heritage with a retro campaign called “Re-Run.” Starting off in D.U.M.B.O., the day got moving with a massive public performance by legendary Japanese noise rockers the BOREDOMS at The Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park, who shook things up with a carefully choreographed performance that included 77 drummers. Moving down the street to the PowerHouse Arena, the party kept going at an AARON ROSE-curated installation celebrating the campaign with art by SCOTT CAMPBELL, TRACY NAKAYAMA, and ANDREW JEFFREY WRIGHT, and some seriously vintage pieces of running hardware.

UKRAINE///FIRST LOOK: DAMIEN HIRST’S “REQUIEM” CAREER RETROSPECTIVE AT THE PINCHUK ART CENTER

hirstkievsmall
Last weekend saw the DAMIEN HIRST’s first grand spectacle of 2009 when his daunting career retrospective “Requiem” opened at the PINCHUK ART CENTER in the unlikely city of Kiev, Ukraine. Not exactly known as an epicenter of fine art (unless you count the Ukrainian girls, that is), resident steel billionaire and obsessed Hirst collector VICTOR PINCHUK aims to change that by launching the epic visual spectacle that includes over 100 works (a vast amount of which came from Pinchuk’s private collection) by the British artist from 1998 – 2008 in his own privately funded art palace that holds the title as the largest private museum in the former Soviet Union. The fact that this grandiose show of power comes at a time when…

BEVERLY HILLS///JOHN WATERS BRINGS “REAR PROJECTION” TO HOLLYWOOD

jjjwaterssgagg1
As a director of some of the most acclaimed highbrow B-movies of all time, Supertouch amigo JOHN WATERS needs no further introduction. Quietly working the night shift as a fine artist for years now, the Baltimore-bound obsessive’s hard work has finally landed him a spot in the most hallowed hall of the modern art world, namely, the GAGOSIAN GALLERY, where the artist’s solo “Rear Projection” show opened to a throng of Hollywood players, weirdos, fanboys and girls, and well-wishing lookie-loos on Saturday nite. Comprised largely of C-prints of photos Waters has taken of TV screens bearing his favorite stills from movies of all kinds, the works pulse with the raw humor and dry wit that is Waters’ hallmark…
