Gap SF T-shirt exhibit

So Gap is doing something interesting for this Memorial Day, they are taking famous artists and giving them a new canvas - t-shirts. At the Gap store in Union Square in San Francisco, CA there are shirts on display from artists like:

Chuck Close, Jeff Koons, Marilyn Minter, Kiki Smith, Cai Guo-Qiang, Barbara Kruger, Ashley Bickerton, Kenny Scharf, Glenn Ligon, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Kerry James Marshall, Hanna Liden and Sarah Sze

This is an interesting trend that shoe companies, fashion companies and everyone else seems to embrace. Basically the canvas, the art is now something you display with pride as you walk around shopping, or doing whatever else you do during the day. In essence, you (the person wearing the art) becoming a living interaction with the art and actually change the meaning of each piece because of how you as an unique person wear it. This is pretty cool I think, creating art that is designed to interact with and isn't something that you just put on a wall and muse about. It's pretty, functional, and fashionable!
