Paris, France

When I stepped out of the elevator onto the 8th floor of a building in the heart of Union Square, I was greeted by an eager Chad Muska, who was welcoming everyone into his artistic abode.  His gallery was housed within a penthouse loft, complete with a kitchen that included chips and the finest in guacamole dip. Chad was much more than just a professional skateboarder and musician this particular evening though. He was entertaining the crowd that had formed, managing the music selection, and continuously rushing back and forth between the gallery to the elevator entrance to grant entry to the art enthusiasts.  Artist, socialite, DJ, and doorman all-in-one, all done with a smooth Walt Clyde-esque demeanor. When asked why he was manning the entry button by the elevator he gave an emphatic response, “the dude that was supposed to be my door man for the night called me up not too long ago asking where the gallery was located when I just told him a few hours ago! What the hell?” Enough about the man, take a gander upon the artwork of Chad Muska.

This summer mural painter Matt W. Moore created a series of live painting performances on walls in MARSEILLE, LYON, and PARIS. Directors Le Groupuscule captured the evolution of each mural, gathering over 700,000 pictures, that were edited as a stop-motion animation to an unreleased track by Monsieur Monsieur to create this music video. This collaboration of 3 artistic disciplines to make walls dance is part of the global initiative : Let’s Colour Project.”

Internationally acclaimed artist Jeff Koons will create the 17th BMW Art Car in the 35th anniversary year of the program. Koons and Jim O’Donnell, President of BMW North America, made the announcement today at an event held at Koons’ New York City studio. “I always thought it would be an honor to work on a BMW Art Car,” said Jeff Koons. “I look forward to participate in a tradition set forth by such great artists as Calder, Lichtenstein, Stella and Warhol.”

Koons will join an illustrious group of artists that includes Andy Warhol, David Hockney, Jenny Holzer, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella, Robert Rauschenberg, and Alexander Calder – each of whom has made a unique artistic statement about the appearance and meaning of cars.

The Koons BMW Art Car will be revealed later in the year. Details of the model and preliminary design will be announced in due course.
