oh wow


oh wow is a miami based counter culture collective with
a focus on the d.i.y side of art and culture. their online store,
and recently, real-life bookstore on waverly place in nyc have
become a recognized go-to for their coverage and representation
of some amazingly creative artists in beautifully presented art
books & limited edition silk screens.

artists featured include: jose parlá, terence koh and aaron young
among others. the store itself looks like the pages of their books
amplified, and can be attributed to architect/designer rafael de
cárdenas who is responsible for oh wow's visual branding, many of
their collaborations and recently, their waverly street store.

influenced by the tiling in his pre-war apartment, and the aim to
intentionally disorientate the viewer, as with their publications,
the store is definitely something that needs to be seen in person.

oh wow is located at 227 waverly place, nyc. for more information
