ICA Show Goes On Despite Fairey's Arrest, with DJ Z-Trip on the Decks

Controversial street artist Shepard Fairey may have been a notorious no-show at his own party last night at the ICA (he was busy getting arrested outside his hotel) but that didn't stop the already-assembled Friday night crowd from blissfully grinding the night away. DJ Z-Trip came to the revelers' rescue by spinning in Fairey's place, continuing what was supposed to be an opening set well into the wee hours. The crowd was a mix of street art devotees and hipsters looking to scope out the "Yes We Can!" singles scene. Fairey was indeed missed, but the revelers who packed into the sold-out the OBEY Experiment event didn't let a little Bo-Po busting bring them down. Below, the photographic proof.
