MAY DAY 2010
Solo Exhibition featuring new works by Shepard Fairey

Opening Reception on May 1st, 6-9pm
May 01, 2010 — May 29, 2010

@ Deitch Projects
18 Wooster Street, New York City

Deitch Projects is pleased to present May Day, an exhibition of new work by Shepard Fairey, as its final project. Titled not only in reference to the day of the exhibition’s opening, the multiple meanings of May Day resonate throughout the artist’s new body of work. Originally a celebration of spring and the rebirth it represents, May Day is also observed in many countries as International Worker’s Day or Labor Day, a day of political demonstrations and celebrations coordinated by unions and socialist groups. “Mayday” is also the distress signal used by pilots, police and firefighters in times of emergency.

NOTE: Obey has a pop-up store in NYC this month too!

SATURDAY – SATURDAY- SATURDAY – SATURDAY – SATURDAY

Legendary LA dance party “Dance Right” is eastward bound! We are dragging their Cali flavor to NYC for a night of dance, sweat and scandal.
Dance Right has been heating up LA for years now, held in a local Mexican bar downtown. So we’re helping them make the transition from a Mexican spot to a Chinese spot, because that’s the beauty of this country…

This is also the official afterparty for May Day, Shepard Fairey’s exhibition at Deitch that celebrates cultural icons and political activists. Join us at your favorite dim sum restaurant / nightclub in Chinatown, 88 Palace. We’re going all night with Atrak, DJ Diabetic, and Pubes.

Saturday May 1st
@ 88 Palace // 88 East Broadway (2nd Floor of Minimall)
10:00 pm – 04:00 am
$10 advanced tix

Happy Record Store Day!

Records have always been important to me. Vinyl just sounds better. Special even. There’s nothing quite like listing to Neil Young’s Decade or Pink Floyd’s Dark Side on vinyl with good speakers. Those two albums are like the litmus test that proves how vital the local record shop is. Go out, buy some vinyl, and feel good about something.

But you don’t have to take my word for it…

“I have watched independent record stores evaporate all over America and Europe. That’s why I go into as many as I can and buy records whenever possible. If we lose the independent record store, we lose big. Every time you buy your records at one of these places, it’s a blow to the empire.” – Henry Rollins

“Music is an important part of our culture and record stores play a vital part in keeping the power of music alive” – Chuck Berry

“Record stores keep the human social contact alive it brings people together. Without the independent record stores the community breaks down with everyone sitting in front of their computers” – Ziggy Marley

The best quote is from Shelby Lynne, she speaks the TRUTH:

“You can’t roll a joint on an iPod – buy vinyl!”

Kids! Please go out and support your local record shop.

Today, tomorrow and the next day! Since we gave you all those free mix tapes as part of KNIFEFIGHT: MIX TAPE WEEK, we figure you could use the money you saved and buy a record.
