TALK OF THE TOWN | SCENE & HERD 04.13.05
High 2: Electric Boogaloo: For last Friday's college night, the High Museum hosted a hip-hop-themed multimedia show called Art, Beats & Lyrics . The museum's atrium was handed to visual artists and breakdancers. Among the visual artists with work on display were Dubelyoo , better known as the guy who draws the big-Afro dude in the Sprite ads, and Atlanta's own Urban Medium , who, if I'm not mistaken, brought the people dressed in replica Star Wars stormtrooper outfits. One of the most interesting bits of the show was local artist Fahamu Pecou 's behavior. He wore dark shades, a T-shirt that read "Fahamu Pecou Is The Shit" and was trailed, whenever I saw him, by two people acting like bodyguards. At first I thought he might be out of his mind, but then I saw his artwork, which consisted of fake magazine covers promoting himself. They were marked "Paid For By The Committee To Make Fahamu Pecou Officially The Shit," so I'm pretty sure his behavior went hand-in-hand with his art as some sort of comment on fame. |
