Kanye West x George Condo T-Shirts
In 2010, George Condo created the artwork for Kanye West’s single, “Power” and West’s album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. He takes inspiration from American caricature, European history portraits as well as Greek mythological figures, often in a dark yet humorous style.

Foto DC Flash ([DC Area] Hip-Hop Photography Exhibit)
This is pretty cool. Unfortunately today was the last day of the exhibition. From Sidney Thomas (the author of Diamonds In The Raw):
While I was doing research for my book, Diamonds In The Raw, I took over 7000 photographs at various venues around the city. I organized some of these photographs into a collection entitled Inner City Rhythms and submitted them to a panel of experts at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. The advisory panel reviewed the portfolios of over 280 photographers and I was among 30 selected to exhibit their work (2 to 6 images each) at the FOTO DC “FLASH” exhibit in Crystal City.
My collection consists of photographs of local hip-hop and go-go artists. The location of the FOTO DC “FLASH” exhibition is 2450 Crystal Drive 12th and 13th Floor Penthouse – Crystal City, VA (Arlington, VA). The exhibit lasts from March 18 – April 18, 2011. They have a bar that serves wine & beer, and on weekend evenings a DJ will perform. There will also be special events held in conjunction with FOTO DC which you can find out about by going to their website (www.fotoweekdc.org).
