The FLAG Art Foundation invited Shaquille O’Neal to curate a show exploring the notion of size in the current exhibition Size DOES Matter.
The 7’1 Basketball star wears many hats, including athlete, rapper, actor, and now curator.
This show is truly amazing, the bluechip artists, the dynamic tension of the small and large, the space perception and the juxtapositions. Bravo Shaq!!
