“Each work is created with the intention of transcendence and nurturing care for the viewer or participant. FriendsWithYou’s meaning is in its name, in that everything in the universe can and wants to be friends with you, an aid in the promotion of love, harmony and peace in our lives,” says Tury. With one foot in the fine art world and one in the pop culture world, Sam and Tury wouldn’t have it any other way. They have invited visitors into the Rainbow City Roller Rink in Detroit, as well as a whimsical playland known as Happy World in Hong Kong, and have decked out the atrium at Aria Resort in Las Vegas in rainbows for Pride month, all the while showing at galleries and through Sotheby’s around the world.
Following up on their popular Netflix show, the two are developing two new entertainment projects. One they describe as a live-action format show similar to“It’s going to be a literal art piece that will be a television show, and we are going to try to save the world,” says Sam.In addition to that, “With Pharrell, we are creating a lazy river concept, which will be one of our first rides, and it will be at Groot Hospitality’s Goodtime Hotel in the Bahamas.
“The NFT craze was very anti-art. In the end of this first phase, it got really ugly for us. Any artist that is still promoting those things while they’re losing value is not servicing what it needs to become,” Sam says. “It was going to be an art revolution, and I don’t think that was even close to happening. There’s a whole different set of collectors who are bidding up these fake prices. It’s not the same collectors, who know all of our history.
