Fashion designer Virgil Abloh opens an exhibition that is informed by consumer art and contemporary public behavior. Hosted at Kaikai Kiki Gallery in Tokyo, 'PAY PER VIEW' is a creative commentary on the consumerist culture, the art of advertising and the influences of media on the human psyche.
Alongside the consumer art exhibit, there will be a talk between Virgil Abloh and famed Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. In addition, the fashion icon will be offering an "extremely limited" line of 'SPRAY HERE' T-shirts at Murakami’s Bar Zingaro.
Virgil Abloh has truly proved himself to be a Jack of all trades. Praised for his genius behind fashion label OFF-WHITE and recognized for his interdisciplinary collaborations with footwear brands and furniture collection, Abloh is sure to stun the audience with some heavily connotative consumer art.
