How many times have you heard the gimmick Get Rich Quick? Too many times to count and definitely too many times to really take notice in any classified ad, but this offering is no gimmick, it’s a new show at Carmichael Gallery.
Carmichael will present Get Rich Quick, a selection of artwork from some of the strongest voices in the contemporary art world.
The show includes works by Antony Micallef, Banksy, Barry McGee, D*Face, David Choe, David Choong Lee, Faile, Ian Francis, KAWS, Nick Walker, Shepard Fairey, Space Invader, Swoon, and Will Barras. Both original works and a selection of rare, sold-out prints will be on display, starting with an opening reception Thursday, May 7th, 2009 from 7 – 10pm.
Okay, my heart has been in street art probably since the 80s. About a five years ago, when I backpacked through Europe, my camera was filled with images of tags and graffiti. In Tokyo, I scour the city and actually found a David Choe piece hidden near Shibuya. Faile, I discovered in Amsterdam and Space Invader, well, he is everywhere.
