ART MEETS POLITICS: SHEPARD FAIREY AND AL FARROW IN DIALOGUE
Friday, October 17, 2008 7:00 PM
Internationally celebrated contemporary artist and graphic designer Shepard Fairey has always marched to the beat of his own drum. Known for creating eye-opening artwork which focuses on provocative social and political themes, Fairey has become one of the world’s most influential street artists. His most recent work, “Hope,” a stylized, three-color print of Barack Obama, quickly became one of the most iconic images of the 2008 presidential campaign. Acclaimed contemporary sculptor, Al Farrow, continues to push the envelope with his artwork. Exhibited in major museums throughout the world, his striking sculptures - made from gun parts, bullets and human bone - evoke themes that challenge the status quo and question widely accepted social norms. Shepard Fairey and Al Farrow discuss their innovative work and reflect on the social and political issues that inspire them to create. Sarah Newman, Curator of Contemporary Art, Corcoran Gallery of Art, moderates. A reception follows the program

Both artists’ work will be featured in the politically charged exhibition, Regime Change Starts at Home, with works by Paul D. Miller (DJ Spooky), on view at Irvine Contemporary, October 18 - December 6, 2008.
