Dalek shows original work at August Friday First event

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 27 July, 2009 : - - World-renowned fine artist Dalek (James Marshall), who recently completed a giant mural at the Hurley Store in Laguna Beach, will show an original, never-before-seen piece in 2D: The Art of 2Day– an art exhibit at the SoHo Mixed Media Bar, on Friday, August 7 to benefit The Contemporary Museum (TCM).

In conjunction with this historic showcase of contemporary fine art, the SoHo Mixed Media Bar will also unveil a new addition to their already stellar facilities. Doors open at 6 p.m. and Soho Mixed Media Bar is located on 80 S. Pauahi Street in Downtown Honolulu. This event coincides with the First Friday Art Walk in August and was orchestrated by trendsetting apparel retailers In4mation and Contrast Magazine to benefit The Contemporary Museum. 

In the week preceding 2D: The Art of 2Day, Dalek will create an original piece of art at SoHo on multiple panels. The media is welcomed to cover Marshall’s creative process, but all coverage needs to be approved and scheduled prior to visit. So far, the artist has no particular design planned for the panels and is relying on his feelings at the moment to create something original and beautiful.

“Planning and I aren’t friends,” says Marshall who is best known for his iconic “Space Monkey” character. “I leave all things to the hands of what will be. Adaptation and execution are instinctual. I like to not know what I am doing and trust that my natural instincts will drive the project home.”

In4mation and Dalek also designed a limited edition T-shirt and print to commemorate this historic event. An AI file of the print is attached to this e-mail. With every T-shirt purchase the consumer will receive a one-year individual membership at TCM– Hawai‘i’s only museum devoted exclusively to contemporary art. Furthermore, half of all T-shirt sales go to benefit TCM.
