Scooter LaForge Teaches 'How to Create a Monsterpiece'


Greg, Chad, Damian and I had a great time attending the opening reception for my friend Scooter LaForge's biggest solo exhibition to date, "How to Create a Monsterpiece," on display through Oct. 10 at the Howl Happening space at 6 E. 1st St., in the East Village. The show features a great variety of his eclectic work -- from paintings to sculptures to clothing on which he has done design. Congrats, Scooter!












King Tut via Warhol, artist/designer Scooter LaForge had a happening opening at Jane Friedman’s Howl! Gallery in the East Village for his sprawling and colorful How To Create A Monsterpiece show. LaForge combs urban detritus to create collages that mix trash, classical references, and fantasy in ways that seduce and alarm. Do I sound like I’ve been possessed by an art critic? Well, good, because I wrote an essay for Scooter’s catalogue!
