DASH SNOW: 1981 2009 A Community Memorial at Deitch Projects, NYC
James Kalm visits the Lafayette House, a loft on the Bowery and a newly painted mural on Houston and the Bowery as well as the memorial exhibition at Deitch Projects in and attempt to document some of the important final locations in the short life of Dash Snow. Since the 2007 cover story in New York Magazine that launched him to the pinnacle of bohemian chic, Dash snow was seen as an avatar of hip. Long-standing drug and alcohol problems and a tumultuous family life (Snow was the scion of the incredibly wealthy de Menil family) no doubt added to the stress that contributed to this tragic loss.

This is a memorial not an art installation......all the brain dead hipster numpties that go wow.. banging... show.... man... way to go dude and all that other stupid vernacular have just shown how vacuous they all are about the death of their hero...how ironic and moronic...I bet Deitch are monitoring how many people turn up each day just to get a feel for the potential value of his work now he's dead.Expect a book out soon. grimviewer 14-08-2009
