In the late 60’s Andy Warhol’s Factory served as the nucleus of the POP art movement. This hip hangout for the artsy crowd was also famed for its parties. Throughout his career, Warhol’s subsequent studios were also dubbed The Factory and remained a haven for artists, musicians, writers, critics and socialites. Several filmmakers and photographers documented the culture of the Factory making it a historically relevant site and source of creative energy.

In INSTANT ART HISTORY IMMEDIATELY: The Fak’try (A 24hr Art Movement), artists Fahamu Pecou (Fahamu Pecou is the Sh!t) and Hebru Brantley recreate the style and energy of Andy Warhol’s Factory. This site specific living installation features the artists performing a Warhol-Basquiat style painting session including a host of artists, musicians, performers, etc. taking up residence in the gallery space and engaging in, well, whatever they want. Photographers and filmmakers document the history-in-the-making of this movement and nightly DJ’s transform the Fak’try into a jumping party scene.

At night, video projections of the day’s activities continue the momentum of the movement, giving the project a 24 hour feel.

At the end of the weeklong performance, a documentary of the historic Fak’try will provide a record of this historical movement in art history, becoming a collectible item for sale along with the paintings created by Pecou & Brantley.
