Hey! Showcases 64 Alternative Artists at Halle Saint Pierre
The second edition of the Hey! exhibition, curated by Anne & Julien, founders of the magazine Hey!, runs from January 25 to August 23, 2013, at Halle Saint Pierre in Paris. This international survey presents 64 artists working in lowbrow art, pop surrealism, outsider art, street art, tattooing, and traditional craft subversions. Featured artists include Joe Coleman (haunted paintings), Mike Davis (pseudo-Boschian works), Brian Dettmer (book sculptures), Amanda Smith (ceramics), Handiedan (lace-like pin-up collages), and Moolinex (cross-stitch doilies). The curators describe the artists as "heirs to the most singular forms of art, the free pollen of cultural creation." The exhibition celebrates the strange, monstrous, deviant, and fetishistic, offering a vibrant panorama of popular virtuosity.
