erin wasson’s biennial pick

March 10, 2008  5:54 pm

Erin Wasson: supermodel. Part-time stylist. Art promoter? After hosting a little party on Friday for Whitney Biennial featured artist Drew Heitzler, she can now add another job title to her business card. The venue was her own East Village pad, and the revelers at the teatime affair—it went from 4 to 6 p.m.—included Shamim Momin, the co-curator of the Biennial; David Quadrini, owner of the Angstrom galleries in Los Angeles and Dallas; and artists Walead Beshty, Maynard Monroe, and Michael Phalen. Wasson even had a DJ: artist Spencer Sweeney. “David Quadrini opened my eyes to so many cool artists,” she told us. “I feel lucky to have the opportunity to be part of the community.” And though Wasson has been a center of attention in magazines and on runways for almost a decade now, she tried to make sure eyes weren’t on her at this fête. “Drew’s work is amazing. I just wanted to help celebrate his accomplishment—this party has nothing to do with me and everything to do with him.”
