By Rory Mitchell – 23 September 2021

Curatorial interest in the Estate of Dash Snow (1981–2009) continues to grow, following last year’s release of Moments Like This Never Last, a documentary film on the artist by Cheryl Dunn.⁠⁠

Snow’s transgressive and controversial practice—incorporating photography, collages, installation, combine sculptures, performances, and short films—reflects on youth culture through a broader lens of American anxieties: from satirising rhetorics of authority, to documenting the absurdity of tabloid media. ⁠⁠

On 25 September, a solo exhibition curated by Matthew Higgs, Dashcam | Dash Snow: Photographs of Life, opened at Morán Morán gallery’s new Los Angeles location. Morán Morán, who announced representation of Snow’s estate last year, has recently shown the artist’s subversive works at Art Basel OVR: Pioneers and Felix Los Angeles.⁠⁠
