A Benefit for the The Whitney Independent Study Program.
Starworks helped out a little on this cool event and invited a ton of cool friends for the Whitney bash in June. Hosts included Lubov and Max Azria, Roopal Patel, Kate Bosworth among others… presented by Sotheby’s. Because it was called “Summer of Love”, I got to bust out all my trippy vinyl and DJ’d a 60′s/70′s set. The lighting show guy was none other than “Joshua Light Show” — quite a character. He created kaleidoscopic mind-bending effects for legends like Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Frank Zappa. We were groovin’ together all night.
There was TONS of amazing art auctioned: Dennis Hopper, Jenny Holzer, Terence Koh, Ryan McGiniss, Ryan McGinley, Jack Pierson, Dash Snow, and roughly 50 more artists.
All the money went to the Independent Study Program for the Whitney which fosters innovative approaches to educate young curators, art historians, and critics. The ISP is all about hooking up the young bloods in the art scene as the next generations young leaders, so we can read about them in future history books of the Whitney Museum.
