Seriously though, you are trippin if you allow yourself to miss this.

My dear friend, and internationally renowned fine artist and painter extraordinaire from the ATL, Fahamu Pecou, along with another great artist, Hebru Brantley, are showing all week next week at the Lyons Weir Gallery in NYC. The showings start August 10th and will go on until the 14th, and it is accompanied by a “mockumentary” show (nudge, nudge, there’s talks that yours truly will be part of this heyyy) and a mini-party every night. Please come through and bring your friends, you won’t regret it. More info below!!

In the late 60’s Andy Warhol’s Factory served as the nucleus of the POP art movement. This hip hangout for the artsy crowd was also famed for its parties. Throughout his career, Warhol’s subsequent studios were also dubbed The Factory and remained a haven for artists, musicians, writers, critics and socialites. Several filmmakers and photographers documented the culture of the factory making it a historically relevant site and source of creative energy.

In INSTANT ART HISTORY IMMEDIATELY: The Fak’try, artists Fahamu Pecou (Fahamu Pecou is the Shit) and HEBRU Brantley recreate the style and energy of Andy Warhol’s factory. This site-specific living installation features the artists in daily performance in a Warhol-Basquiat style painting session while their contemporaries, which include a host of artists, musicians, performers etc. take up residence in the space engaging in, well, whatever they want. Photographers and filmmakers document the history-in-the-making of this movement. Each night  a line up of NY DJ’s transform the Fak’try into a jumping party scene.

At the end of the weeklong performance, a documentary of the historic Fak’try will provide record of this historical movement in art history, becoming a collectible item for sale along with the paintings created by Pecou & Brantley.
