DALEK SHOWS ORIGINAL WORK AT AUGUST FIRST
FRIDAY EVENT
TO BENEFIT THE CONTEMPORARY
MUSEUM
World-renowned
fine artist Dalek (James Marshall) 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. 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. Click

poster.
The Lotus at Diamond Head has provided
in-kind support.
