Guetta started having headaches in 2021, which he attributed to the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine. But it wasn\u2019t until he blacked out during a wedding in Mexico that he realized something was wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI called my team in L.A. and said, \u2018There\u2019s a problem in my head. You have to get me someone, anyone, to see if something is wrong,’\u201d he recalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When he arrived in Los Angeles, a CT scan showed that there was indeed a problem \u2013 and a big one: blood in his brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The complicated operation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
At Cedars-Sinai Hospital, he was told he would have to undergo an extremely delicate operation that would involve inserting a tube into his head and closing a vein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI thought, \u2018That\u2019s it,’\u201d he admits, recounting that he went to several more doctors for second and third opinions. The headaches kept getting worse. Finally, he found a specialist who told him something incredibly frightening: \u201cHe said, \u2018There are three things that can happen. One, that everything goes away. The second is that you could become disabled. And the third is that you die.\u2019 That\u2019s it. So imagine that you get that answer. This is your life. How do you get up and walk out of the doctor\u2019s office? My mind started racing. All I could think about was how important life is, how beautiful life is. And have I done enough good things in my life?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cImagine being in the hospital. If Covid is in play, no one can come up to you. Your kids are downstairs and you say goodbye, but you don\u2019t know if you\u2019re going to say goodbye forever. You hug them and start crying as you walk into the elevator, all alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But before he underwent the surgery, he had another, deeper conversation with himself. \u201cI said to myself, I\u2019m not done yet. I still have so many things I want to do.\u201d And so, when he woke up, his zest for life returned \u2013 in the biggest and best way possible. \u201cI said to myself, this is the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What he meant was that this was the beginning of his second chapter, his new life. And as such, he was determined to bring to fruition a project he had begun before the pandemic \u2013 the one-of-a-kind Mr. Brainwash Art Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mr. Brainwash Art Museum in Beverly Hills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is a moment in my life that I\u2019ve been working toward for many, many years,\u201d he says now. \u201cI mean, I\u2019m always doing art, but on the side I\u2019ve always done something else that I\u2019ve never shown. For almost 13 years now I\u2019ve been doing this, doing other things. Now I\u2019m doing this for me because after 12 years, it\u2019s time. I\u2019ve been waiting to do something for myself, and this museum is more what I want to do. It\u2019s a little reward for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thierry Guetta had already found and rented a prime location at 465 N. Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills and leased it. He was thus the only person who recognized the potential of this building. (The former Paley Center for Media building, designed in 1996 by Getty Center architect Richard Meier, previously housed spaces such as the Aaron Spelling Reception Area and the Garry Marshall Pool.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n He thought the project might never come to fruition, but he decided to build it anyway \u2013 especially after cheating death. \u201cI decided to show it here, and especially to bring it to life,\u201d he explains, sharing, \u201cThe museum is the beginning of my next decade. It\u2019s going to be something different. I\u2019m going to go far.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The museum means that for the first time in a long time, Mr. Brainwash is doing something just for himself. The Mr. Brainwash Art Museum is the result of his sweat and tears but also his personal journey \u2013 a journey marked by highlights like the 2010 Banksy documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop; his self-funded debut exhibition Life Is Beautiful, where his work sold for five figures from the start; and his design for Madonna\u2019s 2009 album cover Celebration and Michael Jackson\u2019s 2014 posthumous release Xscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr. Brainwash has designed album covers for Rick Ross and KYGO. His artwork such as Cover Girl – Kate Moss<\/a> has been featured in films and television productions such as Molly’s Game, Billions, Shameless and the Kardashians. His talents are exploited in partnerships with prestigious brands such as Hublot, Mercedes Benz, Coca Cola and Marvel Comics. He has also collaborated with world-renowned soccer player Pel\u00e9. He continues to donate artwork in support of the Los Angeles LGBT Center, created murals to commemorate 9\/11, and collaborates with Product RED to raise AIDS awareness. Mr. Brainwash also supports organizations such as the Prince’s Trust, which serves at-risk youth. He met with former First Lady Michelle Obama to support her organization, “Let Girls Learn,” which helps adolescent girls attend and graduate from high school. His motto “Life is Beautiful” which can be found on almost all of his motifs such as Einstein<\/a> or even the famous chimpanzee Everyday Life<\/a> gained an even stronger meaning as a result. Mr. Brainwash was honored to meet privately with Pope Francis in Rome to raise funds for Scholas, the Pope’s personal foundation for the youth of the world. personal foundation for the Pope that serves the youth of the world. Mr. Brainwash also met the Dalai Lama in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mit dem Laden des Videos akzeptieren Sie die Datenschutzerkl\u00e4rung von YouTube.![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.frankfluegel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mr-Brainwash-Art-Museum-1024x651.jpg\")
