KAWS @ Aldrich Contemporary, CN - 27th June, by ricobenfico on Apr 26, 2010 15:56:56 GMT 1, KAWS
June 27, 2010, to January 2, 2011
Exhibition Reception: June 27, 2010
This first solo museum exhibition of the work of well-known artist and designer KAWS will include his most recent paintings, sculptures, and drawings, as well as a survey of apparel, product and graphic designs, and limited-edition toys. Originating at the crossroads of art, design, popular culture, and street savvy, KAWSโs output is quite unique. By playing off the different disciplinesโnamely street art, design, high artโand using each as an element in the other, the artist is revolutionizing the art world and widening the straightforward definitions of โhigh art.โ With wit, irreverence, and even affection, KAWS takes infamous iconic entertainment characters and subversively reinterprets their appearances and personalities. He also creates his own cartoon characters of serpentine physical forms with signature X-ed out eyes. These highly charged characters, recognizable by and accessible to everyone, are cute and humorous artworks that ultimately both serve and criticize contemporary consumer culture.

KAWS @ Aldrich Contemporary, CN - 27th June, by ricobenfico on May 1, 2010 12:19:59 GMT 1, KAWS Monograph
About this Book
A vibrant look at the celebrated artist and designer KAWS. This comprehensive monograph explores KAWSโs art career in depth, from his early street art interventions to his recent send-ups of familiar cultural icons. With wit, irreverence, and even affection, KAWS takes infamous entertainment characters such as the Simpsons and the Smurfs and traps them in plastic blister packages while reinterpreting their appearance. The packaged โKimpsonsโ and โKurfsโ are new types of hybrid artworks that both serve and criticize contemporary consumer culture. Also featured is KAWSโs astute and prolific body of commercial work, including apparel from his Japanese store OriginalFake, a partnership with Medicom Toy, as well as product design, limited-edition toys, graphic designs; collaborations with architect Masamichi Katayama and artists Hajime Sorayama, Todd James, and Mark Dean Veca; collaborations with companies including Comme des Garรงons, Levis, Lucas Films, The Simpsons, Nike, Supreme, and Marc Jacobs; and Japanese companies such as A Bathing Ape, Undercover, and Visvim.
AND
This year New Yorkโs Rizzoli will be publishing and releasing a new 256-page page book that provides an retrospective look into one of the most influential artistโs of our generation, KAWS. This book comes on the heels of some other notable Rizzoli publications including Kanye Westโs โGlow in the Darkโ book, Supremeโs โDowntown Skate Cultureโ book, as well as the A Bathing Ape (BAPE) book. While the release date of the KAWS book has not been confirmed, here is a preview of the cover art for the book. via Guillotine // Rizzoli
