Jamie O'Shea Jamie O'Shea

 Having turned Juxtapoz into a generation and genre-defining art magazine during his ten years' tenure as editor-in-chief, Jamie O'Shea is working independently these days as a Creative Director. O'Shea continues to bring high-end projects to fruition. He's working with his creative partner Darren Romanelli to re-brand classic bands like the Beatles and his pals ZZ Top, and brokering sales for street-credible but gallery-averse artists like KAWS.
Now living in Los Angeles, O'Shea has not entirely given up the less remunerative struggles of being an editor. Post-Juxtapoz, O'Shea has just signed on as editor of Spread ArtCulture, a new quarterly art-and-design magazine from New York, and is lining up his myriad allies to start an art magazine of his own, in which all those careers he's launched in the last decade will be rubbing shoulders with their "official" art-world counterparts.

Surveying the entire span of the legendary artist’s career, the show is an absolutely mind-boggling affront to the senses and a nearly comprehensive catalog of Murakami’s “greatest hits” from the past 10 years. We may not be able to show the installation views of the exhibit just yet (check back next Friday for the full update), but rest assured, everything you could hope to see—from 20-foot tall sculptures to massive multi-panel painted masterworks—is present and accounted for in MoCA’s cavernous installation space.
