Luke Chueh's "EXP FEB 22 87" for Virginia MOCA's "I Like Soup" Fundraiser!

In order to celebrate their upcoming "Andy Warhol: Portraits" retrospective and "Fifteen Square Inches Of Fame" group show, the Virginia MOCA have organized the "I Like Soup" charity fundraiser. For "I Like Soup," they've asked a variety of artists to reinterpret a soup can as a work of art, the results of which would be sold online with the proceeds going to help MOCA's educational programs as well as the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia. Pictured above is Luke Chueh's contribution to the exhibit, entitled "EXP FEB 22 87" — which just happens to be the date of Warhol's death. Simple, lovely interpretation of the can… and a nice homage to the "father" of pop art.

"I Like Soup" opens on May 26th and runs through August 19th at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (VMOCA), 2200 Parks Ave., Virginia Beach, VA 23451. Participating artists include: Lauren Alpert, Glen Arthur, Rashidi Barret, Monée Bengtson, Eric Thomas Bostrom, Heather Bryant, Diana Caramat, Amy Chan, Kris Chau, Nomi Chi, Luke Chueh, Doug Clarke, Bob Dob, Dominique Fung, Susie Gharemani, Christine K.
