I get to cover a lot of pretty cool things in my job. I have to say, meeting Shaquille O’Neal was pretty cool. Apart from being an 15 time All Star, MVP, 4 time NBA champ, and pretty much a lock for the Hall of Fame – Shaq recently curated an art exhibit entitled “Size Does Matter” at the Flag Art Foundation
“Artists have readily utilized the element of size. Large and small objects require different approaches, elicit unique responses from their viewer, and reflect the varying purposes in which works of art were meant to serve. This dynamic exhibition will include a variety of mediums that play with scale as a key component in the composition of the artwork. Every work in the show was selected by Shaq himself or is being newly made at his request.”
Flag Art Foundation Press Release
Shaq showed the press around the exhibit, pointing out his favorite pieces and explaining why he showed them. When asked if he had come up with an art nickname for himself he replied:
“I really hadn’t thought about it yet…how about Shaqasso?”
