Artist Shepard Fairey to appear at the ICA this week, Feb 5-6

Shepard Fairey, he of the ubiquitous Obama poster, is coming to the ICA this week. On Thursday, he’ll introduce a new exhibit, “Shepard Fairey: Supply and Demand”, and give a talk at 6:30pm. The lecture is sold out already, but you can still catch a glimpse of the artist as he takes over the decks on Friday, Feb. 6 for the next installment of the ICA’s “Experiment”, the museum’s art event-slash-dance party. (Tickets available in advance: $25 general admission; $20 members, students, and seniors, 21+ only).

For more on Fairey’s upcoming exhibit, see the ICA's one-stop-shop page here.

Note: If you’re a fan of Fairey’s work, or of cute widdle puppydogs, and can’t get away with a scribble-emblazoned forehead at your day job, you might purchase a print or T-shirt of his newly-designed “ADOPT” image; proceeds benefit AdoptAPet.com. He was signing them last week in DC; maybe he’ll sign yours. (Limited edition prints go for $200 each and will go onsale on Feb. 6 at "a random time" on this website.)
