R.I.P. Dash Snow
Dash Snow died last night of an apparent drug overdose in New York. In the last couple of years, the controversial artist achieved mythical status, for his model good looks, his lifestyle and his appropriation as everything that was both right and wrong about the downtown art scene. His life was one for which the phrase "stranger than fiction" was coined, as evidenced in a 2007 New York Magazine article, and regardless of how you feel about his art, you have to admit that the city just got a little less interesting.
