About the artists:
Caledonia Curry (Swoon) is a classically trained visual artist and printmaker who has spent the last 15 years exploring the relationship between people and their built environment. Her first interventions in the urban landscape took the form of wheat-pasting portraits to the walls of cities around the world, a project that is still evolving. Alongside her place-based work, she has a studio practice of drawing, printmaking, architectural sculpture and installations. Callie’s work has been collected and shown internationally at galleries and museums, including the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Brooklyn Museum, the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston, and the Sao Paolo Museum of Art.
Kasseem Dean (Swizz Beatz) is a recording artist and producer. With over 14 years of creating music for some of the biggest musicians in music history, Swizz has contributed to the sale over 320 million records in just the US alone, working with the likes of Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, DMX, Beyonce, Whitney Houston, Kanye West, and Bono to name a few. Along with working with some of the biggest names in music, film veteran Oliver Stone tapped Swizz to lend his expertise to the score for the classic movie Any Given Sunday.
When not creating music, Swizz is an avid art collector and painter and in 2014 he launched The Dean Collection to showcase the work of artists from around the world whose work he admires. He is also a philanthropist who is involved in many charities and was recently named as the first Global Ambassador for New York City’s Health and Hospitals Corporation.
