OKLAHOMA CITY--Fahamu Pecou is featured in "Pop Stars! Popular Culture and Contemporary Art" at 21c Museum Hotel | Oklahoma City opening on April 26. Superheroes and celebrities, totems and toys: the imagery of manufactured fantasy is reframed in the visual language of historical iconography in this multi-media exploration of popular culture today. The artists featured appropriate images and practices from commerce, science, politics, religion, sports, and technology, to illuminate recent shifts in how culture is being created and consumed, intertwining past and present in transformative new intersections of art and life. The opening reception on April 26 begins at 6 pm with introductory remarks on the exhibition by Chief Curator Alice Gray Stites and a special lecture by featured artist Fahamu Pecou. [RSVP]
