The Remix: Franks Chop Shop

In December 2024, Clay Patrick McBride hosted his exhibition titled "The REMIX" at Frank’s Chop Shop in Rochester, NY. The venue is an eclectic urban barber shop with a raw, gritty vibe that matches McBride’s tactile, collage artwork. The space’s central pool table created a lively, engaging atmosphere. A secret door also led to Capacity Worldwide Snakershop, adding an underground feel to the show.

McBride’s work focuses on his extensive archive of iconic images from pop culture and music history. His collection includes legendary figures like Metallica, A$AP Rocky, Norah Jones, Kobe Bryant, DMX, Iggy Pop, and RHCP. These images are transformed through collage and wheatpaste into large-scale works measuring 4’ x 4’.

"The REMIX" highlights McBride’s contribution to pop culture and his skill in reinterpreting historic images. His work is raw, gritty, and visually powerful, offering a fresh take on well-known icons and their lasting impact. The exhibition highlights his significant contribution to shaping visual pop culture through his innovative collage techniques and iconic archive.
