Steve Lazarides has created a buzz-inducing, sales-generating formula to promote his artists. Take one artist (or collective), find a raw space (warehouse and factories, preferable), be secretive and make the show last between 3 and 10 days. This has worked in conjunction with Pictures on Walls' Santa's Ghetto in London, Banksy's Barely Legal in Los Angeles, Faile's Nothing Lasts Forever in New York and will be successful again this September when the PoCo (Post-Contemporary) Dealer brings Antony Micallef stateside. While details have yet to be released, the show will open to the public on the 19th of September and run through the 29th of the month. Prices have been quoted as running between $20,000 and $200,000 for original works. As with most openings now, there is a nod towards the people and accompanying prints will be released as well. Not that these will be cheap, and don't expect to get any of these anyway as they will be bought up during the preview, prior to opening day. More details later
