Virgil Abloh Store: Church & State Museum of Contemporary Art

The Abloh-designed 1,850-square-foot pop-up store named Church & State fills two fourth-floor galleries at the MCA, with walls covered in massive photographs by renowned fashion photographer Juergen Teller.

Did someone say sneakers?

Just look down. If the sneakers that museum security guards are wearing are blowing your mind, the limited-edition Nike Air Force 1 ’07 Virgil Abloh x MCA — known as “Flooded Blue” — will be available, but not at the store and not on a set date. Throughout the exhibition, there will be multiple surprise drops via the Frenzy app. If you’re quick, you can get the shoe for $159, but the sky’s the limit on the resale market.

There will also be surprise T-shirt drops, $65, on the app that will be limited to as many as can be ordered in a 24-hour period, then end. The first drop last week sold nearly 10,000 shirts.

The store will feature reinventions of approximately 20 of Off-White’s greatest hits adapted exclusively for the MCA. The MCA x Off-White Culture Wall collection allows you to — literally— wear the art from the exhibition, with suits, skirts and hoodies printed with images from the photo montage at the start of the exhibition depicting things important to Abloh.

K.ROSS ART

Tell us a little about yourself?

Besides what my bio says about me as an artist, K.Ross the person is a positive, spirited and a proud African-American man. I’m blessed and I was raised with strong values, with respect for others. I was born and raised in Ypsilanti, Michigan by my mom and grandparents and blessed to have a village of family and neighbors that guided and protected me. All of them were great examples that shaped the course of my life.
