Dash Snow, East Village Artistic Rebel, Dies July 13, 2009

Grafitti artist, polaroid photographer of the sex- and drug-fueled young bohemian circles in which he moved, recording his life and times in a style similar to that of his close friend Ryan McGinley and older artists like Nan Goldin and Larry Clark, was a forefather of the current trash Lower East Side art movement.

Memorial is being held at Deitch Projects, where the artist’s friends and the public are invited to collaborate and contribute photos words thoughts and flowers to the tragedy of this premature death.
