The New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) recently announced a collaboration with San Francisco-based artist Barry McGee and Beats by Dre for NADA Miami Beach 2014, which kicks off on Dec. 4 and runs through Dec. 7.
The latest in a string of dope collaborations (including products designed with Snarkitecture, Fendi, Kith, Nicki Minaj, and Alexander Wang), the Beats x Barry McGee Special Edition Pill portable speaker features a cream and orange body, with a graphic of one of McGee's character's smoking a joint near the input/output jacks. "I have always been fascinated with the ‘weed culture’ within popular culture as a whole, but for some reason, I never really took part," McGee told the New York Times. "I wanted to develop a contemporary ‘Zig-Zag man’ type character or mascot that speaks to that culture but that would also appeal to the masses. Something that operated like the brand Junk Food."
The portable speakers will be sold during the fair, and NADA announced via Facebook that Barry McGee will be signing speakers there on Friday, so plan your busy Miami weekend accordingly.
