Haring’s HOUSE!
When the first major UK exhibition of Keith Haring’s work arrived at Liverpool’s Tate Gallery in 2019, much of the press attention focused on the artist’s submersion in the downtown scene and New York street culture of the early 1980s. While it is true that the art of Haring gestated at Club 57, Fun Gallery and Mudd Club, and that he took much inspiration from street art and breakdancing, it was at the Paradise Garage where Haring found his tribe and experienced the spiritual uplift of communal dancing.
If he was still around, we at Faith kind of hope Keith Haring would feel part of our community. So here in this very special Spring issue tribute we go deeper into the HOUSE OF KEITH HARING with the help of those that knew him and were inspired by him.
A huge thank you to Gil & Annelise at the Keith Haring Foundation for their assistance with making this happen. As ever, issues of Faith wouldn’t be possible without the efforts of our editorial team, contributors, designer, advertisers, distributors and all of the photographers that allow us to use their imager. We thank you. The Spring issue is limited and is available to pre-order now via the bio link.
Keep The Faith.
This issue is dedicated to the memory of Oliver Park. May your soul & spirit shine on.
