RIP: Dash Snow

Always sort of poked fun at Dash and don't feel bad about it, but damn, it's always sad when someone wastes themselves like this.

who was this chappy

trust fund kid drug addict artist http://nymag.com/arts/art/profiles/26288/

must dash RIP.

It's sad for their family, yeah.

yeah, condolences to his daughter, secret magic nico snow

ah well. too bad.

perhaps secret magic nico can reach out to caractacus and boudicca downes for support

oh ho ho

tempted to go all shakey mo on this thread about the fetishization of rebellion & drug use & "punk-rock attitude" in the art world and elsewhere but the fact that idiots get a boner over it isnt really dashs fault and fuck it he was a pretty good photographer

how do i get tickets for the dash snow funeral at deitch

max, i was tempted to do a shakey move too, but then was like, 'yknow what i met this guy a number of times and while i thought that everything except his photography was garbagio extraordinaire, he always treated me with respect and kindness so whatev, this is sad. fuck heroin.'

yeah sounds about right. dunno enough about the situation to make any kind of judgment but it sucks when someones whole artistic identity is so wrapped up in this idea of hard living/fuck-you 'tude that insanely self-destructive behavior like um doing heroin is sort of tacitly encouraged by the industry

i dug some of his polaroids tho

yeah i'm not much on the guy's work but it's really tragic to see that heroin is still fucking people up

I was worried this was Dash Shaw and my heart jumped into my throat. But it's Dash Snow. RIP, guy who gives me far less of an emotional rxn at death.

Sometimes people like DS can do as they like because nobody in the industry will step to the rich and powerful family they're part of.

i wish we could make this a NSFW thread but maybe later...

Dash Snow makes chaos bubble into an amoeba. This guy has a knack for turning junk into gold, the millennium’s top alchemist!

haha tbh i dont really dig on his check-out-my-friends-doing-coke-off-wieners photos, too puffed-up & self-mythologizing, tho there are a couple good ones in that category

agreed

what is a hipster

yeah i dunno suzy heroin kinda has its own schedule, regardless who may or may not or should or should not have mounted an intervention against purported wishes or prejudices of the well-off relatives

...he says, not knowing anything about this guy. RIP.

Is it a requirement that every contemporary Larry Clark/Nan Goldin-jacker be a trustafarian?

would be interested to hear stories from people who chilled with dude, i know there are a couple on ILX...

this thread is now a safe space for name-dropping

would love to get gabbneb's take on this

would love to hear his stories about hanging out with him

anyone got a link to an obit if i don't feel like reading this 9 page feature about him atm?

there is no official obit yet--- all twitter and gawker etc..., at least to my knowledge

okay wrong

The requirement is that every *photographer* be a trustafarian or at least...connected. At least now.

Family set up DIA Art Foundation among other things, and Uma Thurman is his auntie. I steer well clear of art world junkies; a former ILXor was in the 2006 Whitney Biennale w/him and will probably blog about this tomorrow.

mywebpower.com was his "tag" when he was with the irak creq

lawl cant improve on that tbh

a former ILXor was in the 2006 Whitney Biennale w/him and will probably blog about this tomorrow.

Why did I even bother to hunt down the Whitney Biennial 2006 website to confirm this was Momus, when it was really obviously Momus?

really bummed there's not more "fuck this junkie loser" attitude in this thread. c'mon guys, this is ILX, I want unbridled resentment, jealousy and spite.

(never heard of this dude btw but given the photo up top, if he's trying to cop a certain nnck member's look, he's doing it wrong.)

I've been holding back.

Except I don't really have outright hatred in me so much as just, meh, this guy was an above-average photographer and it was dumb as shit of him to get addicted to heroin and his whole lifestyle porn schtick was kind of corny.

how does heroin happen to ppl, really. this is all a bit outside my experience but how does it ever begin to seem like an ok idea to anyone

the same reason people get into Scientology or become furries i guess

THE LURE OF THE FORBIDDEN.

A friend of mine really, really, really wanted to try heroin after seeing "Trainspotting" based on the logic that something that will lead you that far down the path of pathetic ruin must give you a mindblowingly incredible high, otherwise why do it?

(fortunately she did not try it)

1. you try heroin to see what it would be like
2. you either hate it or feel as if you might be in heaven. usually there aren't in-betweeners, i must say.
3. if you feel the heaven of it, then you keep doing it.
4. you keep doing it.
5. you keep doing it.
6. you keep doing it.
7. you either die or go into rehab.
8. if you go into rehab, you either steer clear for the rest of your life, or you go back to it.
9. if you go back to it, there are much greater chances you will die...many peeps in rehab die their first time shooting again because they're used to shooting larger amounts, whereas their body no longer is, which seems to be what happened here.

one of my best friends died this way when i was 16 and he was 17. a few others been down the same path since. not pretty, and the reason why i haven't been calling Dash bad names is because really-- this shit takes over one's life before one even realizes it, and it is a sad sad thing.

ive never done heroin but ive taken opiates both when i was and wasnt in need of them and, you know, assuming vicodin makes me feel 1/5 as good as injecting heroin would, its not really that hard to see the appeal? especially if you have bad impulse control &c?

sorry if thats a "casually dropping drug references into a post to make myself feel cool"--i just mean, mostly everyone has taken some kind of opiate painkiller in their life so they can probably relate?

Heroin overdose by person who had everything and for whom drug use was part of his brand is not high on my list of sympathetic deaths.

i feel maybe there is some death wish / glory in apotheosis to it too but i can't really identify with that impulse

Oh god, I don't think so. Death wish? Nope.

HE WAS IN TEH REHAB peeps

1. you try heroin to see what it would be like

but don't even the dumbest among us know how this will ultimately turn out??

(i don't mean to offend; while no one really close to me has ever had a probelm, some important friends of friends have, and I do feel sympathy)

where as i wrote, one moment of weakness can mean death.

Heroin overdose by person who had everything and for whom drug use was part of his brand is not high on my list of sympathetic deaths.

wow, the snow family must be crushed.

cap'n save-a-snow

never heard of this guy before today and lolz I see have already been invoked...

seriously tho what is even the point of having a scale of death sympathy anyway

to see how much more superior we can feel, on the internet, about dead people

Even the dumbest among us understand what heroin or crack will do, sure. But we do that with cigarettes and drinking too. And there's always that "I recognize up front the dangers of crack/heroin/meth, so clearly I cannot get addicted to it" mentality.

but don't even the dumbest among us know how this will ultimately turn out??

What table said, plus some people do recover from heroin addiction.

i'm on heroin right now

from here on in

ugh

The artist Terence Koh has been performing every night at the Whitworth Gallery in Manchester, England, as part of Marina Abramovic’s performance showcase during this month’s Manchester Festival (through July 19). For his four-hour piece, Koh lies on the floor in a shirt made from crushed pearls, his face and feet covered in powder. Curled up in the fetal position, he plays Nat King Cole’s “Mona Lisa” over and over on his iPod. But tonight Koh is honoring the artist Dash Snow, who died today in an apparent drug overdose. Koh will change his tune to “Cheree” by the synth-punk band Suicide. As Koh explained in an e-mail message, “It is for one of my best friend’s Dash and that is our favorite song together and we used to dance to it together.” Strangely, the song was used in the closing scene of “Downtown 81,” which was about Jean-Michel Basquiat, another artist who died way too soon.

ilx is the deadliest opiate of them all! (you stay clean, kids)

"but don't even the dumbest among us know how this will ultimately turn out??"

uh dude, some can walk away or lead a life with drugs.

what a strange coincidence

lololololololol your so correct its unreal
cudnt say it better my self

as a friend once said to me, "heroin is so good you should never ever try it"

rightfully so. :-(

i got sympathy for dudes like this, more than i used to, but i still find the flaunting of that kind of lifestyle to be pretty lame and repulsive.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHH FUCK TERRENCE KOH AND HIS FUCKING PERFORMANCES.

agreed on that front. i used to like his series where he would pee on people tho.

"i got sympathy for dudes like this, more than i used to, but i still find the flaunting of that kind of lifestyle to be pretty lame and repulsive."

what should they do instead? they have money, so they shouldn't take drugs/make art (if that's what you want to call it)?

work at goldman sachs

this is not going to end well

like was said on the other thread, a lot of it just seems like party photos. "hey look at us!" i dunno, kinda boring and depressing in some ways.

koh = kindof awesom imo

xpost well of course not he died

the thread Nath, the thread

i know i know. :-)

if he wasn't rich, then it would be different?

it would be, of course, but i also don't really think that Snow's family wealth should have anything to do with the amount of sympathy due at his unfortunate passing.

what is even the point of having a scale of death sympathy anyway

Because not everyone is affected by every death in the same way, so some essentially arbitrary reason for why that is will be created so that people can explain and understand their feelings?

xpost I know and I totally agree.

is perez with it enough to know that he should comment on snow's passing with a jizz doodle rip.gif

I feel more sympathy for the hapless 30yo dude murdered in some drug-related shootout in the Tenderloin last Saturday than I do for some spoiled junkie art school wanker. but that's just me.

uh he didn't go to art school iirc

"art school"

wanker is spot on though

"spot on"

this guy was really fucking nice

well dude i was pretty much wrecked when i heard a friend of my parents died. he was an artist who lit up a joint and the spraycan exploded in his face. he was doing this art work. stupid to lit it up while spraying a can. his exgirlfriend found him the next morning. i am sure you'd have the same lack of sympathy, but all i can remember is how sweet and loving tyhe guy was. how he entered our shop all excited about some singer he discovered. "here here you gotta hear this! arno is so amazing" RIP cause the dude certainly didn't deserve it.

so if you had gone all typical "i have no sympathy for him" i would have cried.

i might be getting this slightly wrong, but i believe Dash and Max both went to The Dalton School

yeah, it was great

this is a non schmucky pic, kind of intense now actually
http://epiclylaterd.com/mozcat_8119.jpg

that's how i met Dash, through a friend who knew him at Dalton.

Pretty fucking easily.

if you squint it looks like doodles instead

and i actually LIKE shakey, but like, did you really need to express that to the world? i'm calling BS on you actually caring about that hapless 30yo dude btw

xxp

yeah, tilt your head up a little like this

did u really go to dalton, max?
lol that would explain a lot!

hell no

i like shakey it he's at his mo colliest

lol, cuz if you did u would probably hate rich people

haha i actually do hate rich people i just love the way they look, at least mostly

and i actually LIKE shakey, but like, did you really need to express that to the world? i'm calling BS on you actually caring about that hapless 30yo dude btw

eh whatever. this happened right outside my friend's apartment and he was freaking out about it and it was all pretty messed up and depressing. This is actually the second Tenderloin murder I've had any direct experience with (the other was a friend's speedfreak taxi driver dad getting stabbed to death in his apartment).

all death is sad unless the person dying is a hitler

spoiled junkie artists are worse than hitler

if being born leads to death then isn't being born sad

hitler was a spoiled junkie artist - think about it

hitler was a shitty artist, but he did not have a trustfund

nor did he go 2 art school iirc

and every day my bus on the way to work goes by the local methadone clinic and picks up a load of depressing, messed up junkies. Every time some rich junkie snuffs it and people get all sad about it I can't help but think that tons of people die from that shit and its associated lifestyle on a daily basis and by and large nobody gives a fuck about any of them. imho when it happens to someone with no options and no support system, its infinitely sadder than when it happens to some rich kid who had tons of options and just decided to essentially squander them.

are you sadder when poor people die of cancer than when rich people die from it?

rich people pay poor people to have their cancer for them

btw i'm sure a lot of ppl do give a fuck when poor people die, namely their friends and family. and u of course shakey.

rich ppl dont care as much when their friends and family die - they can just buy another

people who know folk who die feel sad about it.
people who don't know folk who die sometimes feel sad about it. not everyone has to.

are you sadder when poor people die of cancer than when rich people die from it?

lolz @implication that you "get heroin" the same way you "get cancer"

how will rich celebrities feel when shakey passes on?

btw i'm sure a lot of ppl do give a fuck when poor people die, namely their friends and family. and u of course shakey.

lolz group hug

heroin comes from living too close to power lines, right

it grows in poor areas and some rich people hang out there

i think, shakey, that this argument can go so many ways that it is kind of pointless. placing value on lives in such a way is, of course, crass and ridiculous, and i understand where you're coming from- people are getting stabbed and shot in my SF hood all the time. as in, i don't value Dash's life over the TL junkie or the Mission meth-head, it's just that i knew him a little and i was familiar with his art.

they call it "arm cancer"

are u actually laughing out loud discussing poor people dying from heroin overdoses and cancer

its more of a quiet chuckle @ilx posters and their style of expressing themselves

the alcoholic guy in the TL who always wears the CDs on his helmet and i have a great relationship, and i would probably be just as sad about him dying, if he died.

its more of a quiet chuckle @ilx posters and their style of expressing themselves

still making fun of autistic kids, huh?

i can see shakey's argument, insofar as i think it's really easy to be jaded about the death of someone who seemingly had a lot of opportunities in the world, and took a course of action that would jeopardize his/her life. (tbh i don't even really know what happened to snow -- did he just overdose?)

yeah, on money

I'm having a real downer on skeezy enabler types, for these people, but not so much the people themselves.

surm, he'd been in rehab, and had probably just started shooting again, explaining the OD thing.

heroin dealers are a special kind of dbag imo

tortured ass monsters

^^^This.

Dude has just joined Club 27, fwiw.

x-posts just being out of rehab probably made him more likely to OD if he shot the same amount of dope he would have done before.

that's what i said upthread

i can hardly think about that kind of thing without shaking

x-post - sry I din't read the whole thing.

between this guy and the other daltonites i know, i will tell my kids to never walk on east 89th street.

lol @ elan, yes, every single Dalton kid i've ever known has been like o_0 crazy. don't get me wrong, 4lie is not half as crazy as the rest of the kids i've met from dalton, but damn.

thanks, we were wondering why you hadn't posted your thoughts yet

4l13 is alright, but still...

actually, no she's the best in many ways, but i have my flaws too

Phew.

relief!

If I may pontificate for a moment, there was another downtown luminary whose path to art stardom began as a being a grafitti artist, one who bucked the traditional art establishment by creating his own rudimentary, brash style, and, sadly, also succumbed to drugs at age 27. His name? Jean-Michel Basquiat. People said his art wasn't art, just as you say the late, great Dash Snow's art is not "art" as you know it. That's just BS, dude.
- Much respect, Dash. You were, are, and always will be an art star. God bless you and your family.

By AUDIBLESIGH on 07/14/2009 at 10:06pm

Nothing says bucking the traditional art establishment like a spot in the Whitney Biennial and the Saatchi Gallery.

xxpost, that is.

To put it bluntly, dude embodied everything I hate about art, and I have been known to cite him as my least favourite artist in the world. I guess that's done with though, and I don't need to bring his name any more down now, RIP.

he sure was good looking, in a crazy joaquin phoenix way, though

He had a daughter, Secret Aliester Ramirez Messenger Santa Creeper, by Jade Berreau, a model, actress, and photographer, in 2007.[11] (One source states the child's name is Secret Magic Nico.)[12]

We thought it would be important and helpful to have an open memorial exhibition for Dash’s community in New York City. We are asking Dash’s community of friends to participate in an exhibition that would include photographs or video of Dash; works of art made for Dash or in memory of him; a small group of works by Dash in various media (just for exhibition); and an open wall where friends or admirers from the general public could write, paint, or paste something up on the wall. The outside of the gallery will feature a large recreation by his friends of his tag.

We ask artists/friends who want to participate to bring artworks by the gallery beginning this Saturday, July 18th through Monday July 20th to begin installation that Tuesday. Artists are welcome to bring additional works anytime, however, that can be installed during the run of the show as well. All are welcome.

I told my dad he was an idiot as soon as I was old enough to have a brain. I told him he didn’t understand the working man and Communism was the only system that cared about the Proletariat. My dad grew up in the Gorbals of Glasgow and worked his fucking ass off every day of his life. He fought so many fights the nigga looks like KRS-One. His father began the Glasgow paper unions that were so pro-working class they actually killed the industry.

Despite all these 18 year-old, juvenile rantings he was always there for me. When I was arrested for drunk driving, he kicked my ass but drove me to court and sat there with the lawyers trying figure out a scam. That was 18. What about 13? At 13 I was listening to Motley Crue on my BMX and writing notes to girls. What if you had been on your own since then? I ran into Dash recently when he lived with Dan and he brought me upstairs to some late-night stupid party at his house. Dash’s dad was there doing lines with the rest of us. How sad. Dan was dancing with some sweaty 10 and Dash was making great jokes and showing people shit. His dad was squinting and being high.I hope he was wondering what the fuck happened.

Take 13 year-old you and stick him in an apartment forever. What did you make of it?

I’m sorry for the loss of your friend. In honor of his passing, I will contemplate swiping three (3) North Face jackets from a local clothing shoppe.

"I guess it started with coke and then everyone went broke, and so what
are you going to do?" says Gavin McInnes, co-founder of Vice, the
magazine of record for L-train riders. He's seen crack become trendy;
he's even smoked the stuff himself -- you can buy it near his office,
which is in a Puerto Rican part of the neighborhood. "Native
Williamsburgers can handle it," he says. "But then you have rich kids
who dive right in. They are going to ruin their lives."

NYT on it all.

I do hate being a hater of a young man who is dead, but... A young man who was bad at art, good at being rich, and shit at taking drugs has died. It means nothing.

It's a tale of someone who wanted to go and go-who was sick of the dead-on-its-feet upper crust he was born into, that he didn't believe in, didn't want, whose values were meaningless, that did nothing but hold him back from his first nanny onwards. I wanted to chip my way out of that background which held me like a flea in a block of ice, and crime was the only chisel I could find.

"To all you New York media types scoffing at his art and calling him a rich kid:
You are not a New Yorker and you never will be and that drives you nuts because you moved here to be part of something but got rejected because you are a fucking pussy. You bloggers and magazine journalists have devoted your lives to talking about “What’s Hot” in the big city and you are all fucking homo nerds and fat spinsters who took Gender & Film in college and have been ignored by the city you thought would embrace you.
Nobody gives a fuck what you think of Dash’s art and how “inconsistent” it is. You fucking losers. What do you have to show for your time here? You did a blog and you worked at a PR firm and you wrote a magazine article once. They say those who can’t Do, Teach but you can’t even teach. You just talk about people that Do. Where’s your art? Where’s your anything?
Dash grew up with no family and raised himself from the age of 13. I’d love to see you try that for 6 months at that age you fucking wimps. You’ve never been in a fistfight. You’ve never fucked a prostitute. You’ve never been to jail. You’ve never run from the NYPD in the middle of the night. You talk about kicking drugs from a position of authority but all you know is smoking pot and watching Saturday Night Live. Fuck you. How dare you talk about death. You don’t even know how to live."

This is the exact sort of attitude that I think is responsible for why so much art is so abysmal in the first place.

Yeah, maybe that's why Larry Clark thinks Gav McInnes is a complete tosser. Ya think?

Larry Clark is just as guilty as anyone of /\/\/\

Disagree.

I'm embarrassed, I know he is talking about me. Excuse me while I run off and fuck a prostitute right about now.

At the same time these people are full of shit, they know nothing about heroin, if they did they would be living....some place else.

Shit. Now I've heard of him. Much hipper never to have heard of him. Unplugging internet now. My only shot at any kind of frisson is to exist as a relic. A moldy curiosity. Then the Dash Snows of this world will want to befriend me, and I will bask in their cast-off fame dandruff.

At four a.m. when I was trying to wind things down while DJing at the remains of my thirtieth birthday party eight years ago this dude handed me a cassette of the Wu Tang clan to put on. But we didn't have a tape deck, just CD players.

I have no idea if he was a good person or not.

fuck the haters, dash is still my hero and inspiration 4 eva

RIP DASH I STILL LOVE YOU

still trying?

This is the exact sort of attitude that I think is responsible for why so much art is so abysmal in the first place.
