Museum Confidential: Season 7, Episode 6.

On this episode of MC, we get a few kicks with the noted contemporary British artist, Dave White, who pioneered the sneaker art movement some 20 years ago. His portraits of popular shoes ultimately led to collaborations with Nike, Jordan, and countless other brands. But Dave is no mere "sneakerhead." His recent work is more concerned with the ground that we stand ON rather than the things we stand IN.
