Here’s a quick sampling of what fans of Brooklyn-based contemporary artist, KAWS, will have in store for themselves tomorrow night during the opening of his first museum exhibition at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. Bringing his own brand of street inspired pop art to such an elevated stage is no doubt a crowning achievement for an artist who initially made his way bombing billboards and beautifying phonebooths and bus-stops in and around NYC. With more attention deservedly being paid to the artist as a result of such a high profile showing, this will undoubtedly prove to simply be another chapter, however significant, in the KAWS saga. From the looks of the setup at the museum, he has gone all out and the event will be more than worth the journey to Connecticut for.
