This weekend I spent some time in Soho. Because it's not a neighborhood currently featured on the site, I wanted to point out a few shows.

Shepard Fairey @ Deitch Projects
I didn't even get to go inside the much anticipated show of the graffiti artist, now more famous for his image of Obama. I saw him hanging out with Jeffrey Deitch inside and there was a line wrapped around the block of poster-holders waiting for a signature.  I'll be back this week to take a full (quiet) look.  I HAVE seen his new mural on Houston & Bowery a couple times - which is definitely worth a look.

Leon Golub @ The Drawing Center
This show blew me away - mostly because I've seen a lot of Golub paintings (do a google search) and never any of his drawings.  The difference is startlingly awesome.
