Moments Like This Never Last explores the life and legacy of the late artist Dash Snow (1981-2009) who died of a heroin overdose in a Noho hotel room at the age of 27. Snow, an NYC wild child, started the takeover by writing his name all-city as a young graffiti artist and subsequently became an accidental international art star. Born into one of the most important American art families whom he rejected and was rejected by, he found a new family in the artists of post-9/11 lower Manhattan. Downtown was an abandoned wasteland that became ripe for artists to have their way with, drawing the attention of the art world ready to cash in. High stakes, drugs and the pressure to keep producing took its toll becoming a cautionary tale that changed the course of NY art history.
