Dalek in D.C.

If you’re well connected, you would’ve received an invite yesterday to RSVP for a private preview on Friday for Dalek‘s only exhibit this year, Overweight, at Washington D.C.’s Irvine Contemporary. It’s gotta be one of the biggest tickets in town (and sorry, we don’t have any to give out, but you can click here for a reasonable alternative). We’re guessing this based on what chaos it was trying to land tickets to the Takashi Murakami "” Dalek’s boss in 2001, when he worked as his assistant "” show in L.A. last year. The solo show sees the pop artist presenting new paintings that are as meticulous and psychedelic as ever. By occasion, Irvine Contemporary’s releasing a signed print produced in small quantity. The exhibit officially opens on Saturday, May 17, with a party open to everyone, but be nice when swarming your idol there.
