Mike Leavitt featured at Fuse Gallery

Hey NYC!
Fuse Gallery will have Mike Leavitt's work on exhibition starting March 21st. For those who are unaware, Seattle artist Mike Leavitt is known for his action figures, Barack Obama pieces, cardboard shoes, and other things that make you say 'wow'.

Swiped from the press release:

Leavitt’s most notable work is the “Art Army” series of one-off action figures depicting a range of historical subjects from Van Gogh to Tupac. The figures are also formatted as custom wedding cake toppers, now a lucrative side-project. Other projects include “Penny Places”, an ongoing series of “lucky” pennies found in the street, painted with tiny landscapes showing the exact location where the penny was found; “ArtCards”, hand-drawn trading cards of artists,sold in wrapped packs with a stale stick of gum; “Portable Homeless Shelters”, made of recycled-material and built and used in the Seattle area since 1999; and "Push Button Performer" which toured the Pacific Northwest from 1998 to 2003.

“Don’t Stop Shopping,” artwork by Michael Leavitt runs March 21 through April 18, 2009, at Fuse Gallery, 93 2nd Ave (between 5th & 6th Sts, 2nd Ave stop on the F), NYC, NY. The opening reception, on Saturday, March 21, from 7 to 10 pm, is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Fuse Gallery at 212.777.7988 or
