ART SAKE : ART BASEL 2012 BRAINWASHED














We dropped by the controversial Mr. Brainwash's pop up gallery in South Beach during Basel. We felt kind of weird being so close to the "criminal art-ist," who was inches away from us, casually mingling with the spectators. It was kind of like we too had committed a crime, or had sold out to our fellow artists just by
being there.... that is exactly what peaked our interest and made the exhibition 
even more exciting. 

It was like we had entered the forbidden gallery where
the artist became like a negative stereotype of a corporation and the executives took all the credit for the minions doing all the hard work. Seriously, there 
were actually other artist creating more work in a roped off area in the gallery. We think Mr. Brainwash was intentionally mocking all the controversy around him... that part was actually kind of COOL.

ART SAKE : KING OF POP

This image provided by PepsiCo Inc. shows Pepsi's ‘King of Pop’ can featuring a likeness of Michael Jackson - AP
And so The King of Pop lives on...

In an effort to give brand a little boost, PEPSI is launching a campaign with the One & Only King of Pop. An illustration of Michael Jackson will be featured on special edition Pepsi cans. There will be other aspects of the campaign including: a TV ad in some markets and chances to download remixes of some of Jackson's most famous songs. The irony is that MJ's history with Pepsi is not so great after his hair caught on fire during 1984 TV commercial shoot. Either way, this campaign is COOL and we can't wait to get our hands on one of these cans!
