ART & PHOTOGRAPHY :

Ari Marcopoulos is set to launch a new solo exhibit titled “Machine” at the Frank Elbaz Gallery in Paris, France. The mixed-media savant will showcase his extensive oeuvre of still photos depicting iconic musicians such as JAY-Z, Kendrick Lamar, The Beastie Boys and Ratking, to name a few. Accompanying the photographic work is a monumental eight-channel video installation that will feature a wide and diverse array of Marcopoulos’s rarely seen short films.
“The collection of works in view represents a broad range of images of the past and the present,” said Marcopoulos. “The Machine’adds the element of time and the cacophony of place to portraiture.”
Take a look at select images from the exhibit above and head over to Frank Elbaz Gallery’s official website to learn more. “Machine” will be open to the public starting September 2 up until October 14. An exclusive artist book by Marcopoulos made in collaboration with Red Lebanese will also launch on opening day.

Yayoi Kusama’s most-popular “Infinity Mirrors” exhibit will finally make its way to The Broad contemporary art museum in Los Angeles, California. Tickets to the immersive showcase always sell like hotcakes and West Coast fans are already plotting out on how to secure their spot. If you’re planning on attending, you’ll definitely want to have a tab open to the museum’s website starting September 1 at exactly 12 p.m. PST.
Without a shadow of a doubt, purchasing tickets to this installment are going to a hell of a lot more difficult than previous ones. How so? There is no advanced registration rather the museum is going to unleash all 50,000 tickets—for the entire Kusama showing—on the aforesaid date. “It will be a matter of hours,” said The Broad’s museum director, Joanne Heyler to Los Angeles Times. “There will be high demand.”
“Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors” will launch on October 21 up until January 1. The legendary Japanese artist’s presentation is comprised of six “Infinity” mirror rooms alongside sculptures, paintings and sketches. Head over to The Broad museum’s official website to learn more and let us know if you’ll be dropping by. If you miraculously manage to secure a spot, be extra careful when taking selfies in the exhibit.

Shepard Fairey has teamed up with Portuguese artist Vhils on a brand new mural located in Lisbon, Portugal. Although untitled, the monumental piece may derive creative cues from Obey Giant’s “Universal Personhood” series which made its debut back in 2016. The partnered artwork imbues Fairey’s politically-charged palette of black, white, and red hues alongside Vhils’ intricate relief techniques.
Take a look at the collaborative mural above captured by Jon Furlong. If you’re in Lisbon, be sure to drop by Shepard Fairey’s new “Printed Matters” solo exhibit at Underdogs Gallery.
