016: Icy & Sot


Listen Later

The first time Juxtapoz met Icy & Sot, they were an up-and-coming brother-artistic duo, recently immigrated from Iran to USA, working primarily in stencil art. Yet in recent years, their work began to evolve to an almost conceptual level of public and street art, mixing stencil art with sculpture, installation, and at times, spontaneous acts of intervention. They have become some of the most political active street artists working today, focusing on the refugee crisis around the world to environmental art ... and who can forget their infamous wad of US money left on Wall Street in 2018?

Radio Juxtapoz caught up with Icy & Sot a few weeks back in Manhattan during Moniker Art Fair, just as the brothers were getting ready for their newest solo show, "Faces of Society," currently on view at Underdogs in Lisbon, Portugal. We talked about their youth in Iran, the big move to NYC, a high profile feature in Playboy, how their museum show in Amsterdam alongside Banksy changed their career and how a new focus on sculpture and installation has changed their process. 

Hosted by Evan Pricco (Editor-in-chief, Juxtapoz Magazine) and Doug Gillen (Fifth Wall TV).
