Last last night I attended the opening of a group show that I was a part of at a cool, new space in Andersonville called Estudiotres. Despite it being away from the traditional gallery district, it is a very hip, young gallery. The show was entitled THAW and themed around the fact that "Winter won't last forever". The director, Michael Newman, chose to exhibit my piece,
Conjoined Snowman (We all fall down) as well as my work
Scratching Peace Symbols on Your Eyes. Also included in the show were Rob Bondegren's spicy, saturated collages, Nate Wolf's paintings of dirt biking and summer fun, Davin Young's poetic Tillman-esque photo display, and Andrew Winship's humorous drawings of sun bathers and their inadvertent tan lines. It was a very fun evening and a very packed opening with hardly any room to move around. It was so nice to see so many people at the opening despite the chilly night. Thank you to all of those that came out. And for those of you who haven't seen the show yet, it is up until March 7, 2008.
