Dash Snow: I Love You Stupid

In his introduction to our substantial, new (but already almost-sold-out) monograph, Dash Snow: I Love You Stupid, Glenn O'Brien writes, "…despite the immense stakes in this contemporary art world, there are artists out there who don’t want to clean up, who make art not to make big bucks for the schmucks but to change the world or save their life or for obscure reasons of their own. Feral artists. Maybe the art world has become a big poker game, but some artists still run free and make up their own rules. The game they play is of their own invention. Dash Snow was a player, an artist who raised the stakes up to 'you bet your life.' Art is a way out and a way in. A way out of a system of smug bourgeois entropy, a way out of a rigged plutocracy and into a world of visionary magic where the artist has an activist audience that is engaged with spirit and ideas and the process of transformation and anything might happen. The more jaded and tainted the art scene becomes, the more it demands a tougher and more ambitious art. The true artist becomes a shaman speaking for those without a voice – from the bums to the roses, to the whales, to the planets." For more images, visit the book page.
