Hirshhorn In The City

The Hirshhorn joins with DC's dynamic art scene to pay tribute to the pioneering art practices of the 1980s. Washington-based artists No Kings Collective, NoMüNoMü, and SUPERWAXX created these branded graphic posters, which were inspired by Brand New: Art + Commodity in the 1980s, an exhibition that explores an iconic decade when artists blurred the boundary between art and marketing. Their work changed the art world forever.

No Kings Collective, NoMüNoMü, and SUPERWAXX represent a new generation of artists that pushes the limits of art, brand, and community engagement. Saturating designs with their signature styles, pop culture references, logos, and text—including powerful personal messages—they create new platforms for creativity in the streets and galleries of the city. With posters wheat-pasted in various locations throughout Southwest DC, this project echoes guerilla art practices of the 1980s.

Brand New SW is part of Hirshhorn in the City, the Museum's initiative to bring contemporary art beyond the gallery walls and connect artists and curators with DC neighborhoods.
