Takashi Murakami MOCA
Here's the pics for the show. It's pretty rad. It's going to be great, and it's everything one can expect. Take a look through the pics, it's amazing. Takashi Murakami did a talk at the press preview and kept it simple, talked about commerce and the fact that money is important. He also talked about his work, and this being his biggest show... yes it is. Also the cool thing is that he spoke it in English, which is something that he's been sort of shying away from lately. When I interviewed him way back in 2001ish, he did it in English, then he always worked with a translator.
The small MOCA shop was filled with Murakami goods, tons of it. You name it, it's there. The Louis Vuitton shop? It's going to bank big time. It's going to out rock any shop in the area for sure. Especially since it has the special MOCA only LV design.
So in the end, who comes out ahead? Where's this taking art? It's a pioneering show, and there's a lot to say about it. But I'm still taking it all in. This has to be his biggest venture yet, and I'm proud of him. Hope I get to catch up with him soon.
*Glad I shot pics, they're not allowing photos anymore.

Very nice pictures. Did you steal a T-shirt? If not, you should have.
ironic you say that. Yeah man, I had a shirt and walked all the way out, talked to people, and then went back in and paid. My bad.
nice show wish it was happening in nyc. beside all the LV stuff anything else to buy?
Yeah, we sell all the same shit at GR, but they do have some of the prints, but I think a lot will be gone. We got those too though.
i would love to get my hand on some of those print are you or your store selling any?
Amazing pictures. I had to stop looking. I've got to get out there and see it myself.
I'm also interested in prints. Will the GR webstore be restocking anytime soon?
i am sorry, but where is GR?! i woild love to get some of those t-shirt too!!
there isn't any good shirts to get, that crazy big pillow cost more than an LV bag lol...biggest ones was sold out, so we only got 1 medium size bag and 2 coin purse..oh well, good art work, i'd die to live in that room with printed walls...
