The Contemporary Museum hosts Shepard Fairey as its Catalyst Artist in Residence tomorrow through Nov. 20.

Los Angeles-based Fairey is one of the most prolific and internationally recognized street artists of his generation. His art and cultural campaign began in 1990 with his "Andre the Giant Has a Posse" sticker. It has now evolved into a worldwide campaign to reframe public visual space, called "Obey Giant." Using images derived from propaganda and advertising, Fairey calls the effects of this imagery into question. In addition to exhibits in Philadelphia and Santa Monica, Calif., he recently collaborated with DJ Shadow on a music and art project called "Public Works."

Fairey has projects planned for his stay in Honolulu that step outside of this campaign, including an installation on the screen windows surrounding the gallery exterior, lanterns in the monkeypod tree and an installation at Makiki Skate Park.

The Catalyst Artist Residency program brings leading contemporary artists to Honolulu and pairs them with community organizations to create new work. The program is curated by Wei Fang.
