For the newest project from "Hirshhorn in the City," the Hirshhorn brings the 1980s back to DC, with a contemporary twist.

Brand New SW is a public art project celebrating Washington’s innovative and collaborative art scenes. The Hirshhorn invited Washington-based artists No Kings Collective, NoMüNoMü, and SUPERWAXX to create branded graphic posters inspired by "Brand New: Art & Commodity in the 1980s," an exhibition exploring the iconic decade when artists blurred the boundary between art and marketing. These limited-edition posters will be wheat-pasted, guerrilla style, around the public spaces of Southwest DC in early April, in homage to the underground art practices of the 1980s.

Brand New SW is a partnership with the Southwest Business Improvement District (SWBID). The project is made possible by the generosity of Max and Monique Burger, Burger Collection Hong Kong.
