Fools Gold’s latest Artist Series opening is “Smart Fools,” a group exhibition featuring NYC’s own Smart Crew. Founded in 1997 by a group of high school friends in Queens, Smart Crew has evolved from a NYC-based graffiti crew into a diverse collective of international artists based in New York. Over the years, many of the members have branched out from their graffiti roots into alternate art forms including music, fashion, design and photography.
Most importantly , “Smart Fools” highlights the subversive streak and sense of humor that runs through all the artists’ work, as shown in this promo video for the exhibit, which turns graf video seriousness on its ear for a sticker bombing campaign that goes to comedically epic lengths.
