TesOne at ArtCenter's BluePrintforSpace Exhibition
Watching PrimaryFlight artist Cruz at work
ArtCenter/South Florida rocket-launched Blue Print for Space, an explosive exhibition curated by South Florida-based art collective Primary Flight. More than 800 guests packed the Lincoln Road gallery throughout the evening, including Ron English, a pioneer of the street art genre; Jim and Tina Darling; and Santiago Rubino. Hipster beats were bumping, and Beats by Dre showcased one-of-a-kind headphones tricked-out by Primary Flight artists El Mac, Typoe and Tes One. The after-party continued with “Murder Dance” at Shore Club with a DJ set by artist Shepard Fairey and special appearance by Russell Simmons. Ebony Bones dropped in to kick-it while Primary Flight artist Cruz tagged a 30-foot poolside wall with fellow graffiti writers. More than 100 Primary Flight artists will now continue painting the streets of Wynwood, creating live murals and installations. Logan Fazio
