Fame Fest 2010: Swoon

Posted: April 21st, 2010 | Author: | Category: Art News, Featured Posts, Photos | Tags: , , | 3 Comments »

It’s no secret that RJ and I are big fans of FAME (it’s also where we met, incidentally) and had an awesome time in Grottaglie last September. A few weeks ago, our friend Angelo announced this year’s tentative line up and when I spoke to him the other day, he mentioned that Swoon and Ben Wolf had just been to visit. Unfortunately, there are no photos of Ben Wolf’s work as it was destroyed before it could be documented, but there are some great images of Swoon’s gorgeous pieces, both in the monastery and around town. I really hope they survive over the next five months!

Let me know if you’ll be coming this year – Seth and I will be there for sure.

(Thanks for the images, Angelo.)

    Is it ridiculous to want to fly to Italy for this?

    We’ll be coming from LA, which isn’t exactly close! How far away are you?

    There were a number of people at last year’s event (including myself) who flew from the UK. I think Seth and Elisa were the only ones to fly in from the states, but they definitely thought it was worth it.
