Short Documentary
A short film on Chad Smith's artwork featured at the MvVO AD ART SHOW 2021 — displayed on the monumental screens inside Santiago Calatrava's Oculus at the Westfield World Trade Center, New York.
About the Show
The MvVO AD ART SHOW is a landmark annual exhibition that reclaims advertising infrastructure as gallery space — placing original artworks on the towering digital screens inside the Oculus at the Westfield World Trade Center, one of New York City's most visited and architecturally significant public spaces.
For its 2021 edition, MvVO ART selected Chad Smith as guest artist, an honor that placed his work before thousands of downtown New York visitors and commuters throughout the final weekend of May. MvVO founder Maria van Vlodrop described his fine art tour as "extraordinary," noting the significance of presenting his work alongside the show's invited artists in partnership with NBCUniversal.
Chad hosted the virtual opening event on May 3rd during Frieze week, and his paintings ran on the Oculus screens May 29th and 30th — a rare platform where music, fine art, and one of the world's great public spaces converged.
