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.

bummerz

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

u wanna elaborate or back that up?

rip art world legend i never heard of

that ny mag reader comments section is kinda lol but mostly sad

Just a bunch of lame trust fund pansies sure to die of an OD or AIDS. Meh!

ouch!

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

That’s what a dash of snow can do to the human body.

nice!

btw http://gawker.com/5314438/the-art-of-dash-snow/gallery/

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.

i look forward to calum's remembrances

Dash Snow In A Banana-Suit! RIP

is that one of his polaroids?

Untitled (irony? boredom), 2009, animated gif, 387px × 246px.

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?

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

Second one there looks like the serial hooker killer from Deadwood.

not much can be said for his taste in body art.

"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."

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.

lolz authenticity

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.

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

We anticipate opening to the public as early as Tuesday, July 21 at the 76 Grand Street gallery of Deitch Projects. The show would remain on view through mid-August. If you would like to participate in this exhibition by lending or creating artworks, please contact Kathy Grayson at Deitch Projects: 212 343 7300, ka✧✧✧@dei✧✧✧.c✧✧. 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. Please pass this on to people you think would like to know about it

“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.”

dont think i would want to. and im still living. thats some straight niggerish shit right there and that nigga gets some cred for that shit?
nah son. not to knock the kid for any of his shit but c’mon broham, you really think THATS a selling point because hes more hood than me?

nigga what?

all of the shit he was on about could be found in any hood.

but yo, rip, whatever. eat your own words man

“Fuck you. How dare you talk about death. You don’t even know how to live.”

death is a part of life.

I mean, booty clap dick trigger has it right, but for reals. The guy is dead. No need to continue tearing him down unless you're an asshole.

that gavin mcinnes rant needs the comments section to be flooded with umad.gif

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.

ftw

"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.

http://www.shotsmag.co.uk/columns/ripley/images0607/Raymond_1.jpg

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.

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.
