The connections between visuals and narrative are phenomenal. Stories and ideas, these abstract thoughts within the mind, can become profound visual metaphors. While these images may not materialize for everyone, an artist’s mind can grasp the most simple ideas and turn them into something more, something that resonates. Japanese artist Mitsuo Kimura does just that.
As promised, today we continue our conversation with Damon Dash, the Mogul of-all-trades: from fashion, to music, to movies, and now art. Damon's enthusiasm for his new gallery in Manhattan, DD217, is palpable.
In the third and final installment of our profile on NYC gallerist, Jonathan LeVine, we explore how he influenced the aesthetic canon, the growth of his gallery, and looking forward to the next big thing.
It's not surprising that Damon Dash is opening an art gallery in Manhattan. What's intriguing is that he hasn't done it before. Known by most as the other half of Roc-A-Fella Records (the half that isn't JayZ), Dash made a name for himself turning Damon Dash into a brand name that's recognizable in just about every medium. From fashion, to music, to movies, Dash creates trends and watches them flourish.
With a moniker like Imminent Disaster, you know you’re dealing with something heavy. This Brooklyn-based artist has been wheatpasting the streets for the past four years and now turns her attention to a highly anticipated gallery show at Los Angeles’ Thinkspace gallery.
