Dash Snow, the New Face of AG Jeans
Within the immaterial Lucky Magazine is artist, Dash Snow modeling in an ad for Adriano Goldschmied. Consider that this is the man who takes photos with a camera “made of wood, palm leaves and cocaine” and creatively combined newspaper clippings and semen in ‘Fuck the Police’. In his own words from Paper Magazine:
I’m not a businessman. [But] my business used to be and still is thievery, to some extent. I came across a camera, which I thieved when I was 16 and started taking pictures. I’ve been partying for years, probably since I was 11. I did my first line of coke when I was 13 years old and I’ve been partying every night and taking pictures ever since. Everything’s a blur and every night is New Year’s as far as I’m concerned. [When I’m at a party, I look for] a dark corner, a wallet, a bag of blow and some love to go.
Though we don’t question Dash Snow’s motives for taking the job ($30,000 is a nice bit of scratch), we do question Adriano Goldschmied’s reasons for choosing Snow and barely showing off the jeans.

Sorry to be dismal, but those pics will be worth a lot when he’s dead.

Nah, MK is dating his brother, Max Snow.
They’re both trust fund monkeys. Ain’t nothing “street” about this poser.

you can afford to be a druggie artist f*ck around when you come from one of the most prominent art collecting families in the world, i.e., the menils as in the menil foundation.
January 8th, 2007 at 6:37 pm
just for clarification, snow doesn’t speak to his “prominent art collecting family”, save for his father (recently) and his grandmother. there’s nothing poser about this guy- he’s all art and life.

boring. lame. when can art be about the work and not how “bohemian” the d-bag “artist” is. fucking teenage shit show.
January 11th, 2007 at 6:21 am
Their is no such thing as REAL art. Stupid is as STUPID doesandy warhol !! WHAT; is REAL ?
January 12th, 2007 at 3:11 pm
Fuck him. He’s a trust fund cunt, he stole money to survive, but I’m sure when he was out of luck, he ran back to his mother like any other thief.
January 16th, 2007 at 1:37 am
Rich, connected and now a media darling…he cleverly even named himself after his favorite drug. This guy is pure talent, watch out Paris Hilton!
January 16th, 2007 at 2:11 am
If by “named himself after his favorite drug” you mean he kept his given name, you are correct.

I can understand that debauchery and degredation will allways be sexy and used to sell stuff. Hell, I like a good coked up orgy as much as the next guy. But, can’t we at least find new and more original ways to explore these themes in art and media. I think it’s just uncreative lazyness on the part of AG Jeans. Snow - you’re a cliche, but no one will tell you that because they’re gonna make a bundle on you first. I hope you get your shit together before you’re used up.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:44 pm
okay guys, way to be ignorant: Dash Snow is his real name, and the only two members of his family he kinda/maybe/sorta talks to are his father and grandmother. And judging his personality, even if he did speak with his family, he deff. wouldn’t ask them for money-its not his way. I respect him, i may not understand him, but i respect him.
January 27th, 2007 at 9:36 pm
YEAH RIGHT, IVE SEEN HIM MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS COMING OUT OF SOHO SHOPS WITH MULTIPLE SHOPPING BAGS IN TOW - AND WITH HIS MUM.

fuckin new yorkers, man. that shit happens out here in oakland too just so you know. it aint all that special. in fact our parents’ generation was doing the shit he does now. maybe ill be impressed when he actually does some art that is more focused and less sensational.
and about his behavior- its called adolescence.
February 1st, 2007 at 11:44 pm
Being a friend of the family, I can safely assure you that he makes a living on his own. He speaks to his father and BOTH of his grandmothers. He used to live off his mothers mother, Christophe. He does not speak to his mother or his brother max (who is dating Mary-Kate Olsen). So get your shit right before you start bashing.

[…] Under a cover headline of “Warhol’s Children” the article was about that very favorite subject of urban lore, the downtown party child. The current incarnation of this archetype discussed in the article is Mr. Snow, the brilliantly named graffiti writer cum (lots of cum) art-world phenom. Dash apparently has been shoveling snow, and any other drugs he can get his hands on, nightly since he was a wee lad. Lovely quote: “I did my first line of coke when I was 13 years old and I’ve been partying every night and taking pictures ever since. Everything’s a blur and every night is New Year’s as far as I’m concerned. [When I’m at a party, I look for] a dark corner, a wallet, a bag of blow and some love to go.” (that’s from Papermag) He also has a couple of other attributes that make him the perfect subject for the projected fantasies of middle-aged art patrons and respectable-citizenry everywhere: besides being a drug addict and a thief (his graf crew was called IRAK, meaning “I steal” which they did, daily), he is blondly and lithely beautiful, and comes from - though is supposedly estranged from - one of the most wealthy art-collecting families in America. Privileged, gorgeous self-destruction - who wouldn’t want a vicarious piece of that? […]
