Best known for his street art, this show features his first installation, an "authentic" fast-food taqueria, which includes tasty "Super Pendejo Meals." The concept starts on the street, where "menus" are distributed, and includes new vector work, hand-rendered work, and t-shirt designs.
The show opens December 1st (Kidrobot is throwing the opening party and giving away toys to the first 50 people there) and runs through January 6th at the Orchard Street Gallery, 139 Orchard Street in New York. Open Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 - 7:00 p.m. and weekdays by appointment. Call +1 (917) 682-6753 for more information.

Or at least he married intriguing people—Viva, a Warhol superstar and photographer Cindy Sherman—who added color to his already vibrant life story. The Paris-born artist and filmmaker has done just about everything interesting in the past forty years. To prove it, he kept a diary of his days...
by Kelsey KeithLast week we were taken aback at NYC's Pulse Art Fair by artist Dietrich Wegner's "Playhouse," an installation shaped like a mushroom cloud and built like a tree fort covered in swaths of cotton. A study in contradiction, "Playhouse" mingled with tattooed babies and dotted light paintings in Chicago gallerist Carrie Secrist Gallery's booth. Wegner creates "images that are safe and unsettling, abject...
