With his
May Day exhibition at
Deitch Projects, the gallery's
last, set to open Saturday on, um, May Day (good luck getting into
that reception!), Shep is working on murals all over town and
trying to defend the one
at Bowery and Houston at least until the weekend. First up: a
collaboration on a mural with graffiti artist
Cope2 up in The Bronx (pictured); next up: a
new mural in progress at the Cooper Square Hotel at Bowery and East 5th Street; and finally: an 80-foot mural covering the plywood shed
at the Ace Hotel at the corner of Broadway and 29th Street. That's some savvy branding.
