brooklyn-based artist KAWS has given the MTV video music awards
trophy a redesign for the first time in its 30 year history. the
original 13 inch (33 cm.) tall chrome statue was conceived by manhattan
design in the early 1980s and is based on the image of celebrated
american astronaut buzz aldrin. for this one-year-only event, the iconic
MTV moonman will take on the characteristics typical to KAWS' style.
the artist is best known for his fine art merchandise -- series of vinyl
toys and memorabilia produced in extremely limited quantities and
highly sought out by collectors -- as well as his collaborations with
brand giants nike and marc jacobs. MTV executives thought the shift was
an appropriate way to mark the change in venue for this summer's award
show at the newly-built barclays center in brooklyn, new york. KAWS will
also design the stage for the august 25th show which will include an
18-meter (60 foot) inflatable version of his limited-edition moonman.
