If you have not seen it, be sure to check out Erwin Olaf, one of our favorite photographer’s solo exhibit at the Hasted Hunt Kraeutler gallery. Seeing the portraits in coffee table size books is one thing, but to get up close to these spectacular oversize prints is just astoundingly breathtaking. The color and quality is everything the mood wants you to feel. The DAWN & DUSK video is creepy in just the right romantic way.
And of course we loved HOTEL…. but what’s not to love about this?

Boris Hoppek gives a whole new meaning to “Sneak Peak” this Friday at Factory Fresh.
*In correlation with the Art Fairs this opening is from 8-11pm, Friday, March 5th.
The exhibition is called DAMAGE:CONTROL - each of the artists supplied one of the words when finding a joint theme for the show. Who does the damage and who’s controlling it is hard to tell, all we can leak is that we know who contributed which word …
Although being close friends for a long time, Boris Hoppek and Alex Diamond have never collaborated this closely in the past. Everyone involved in the show is really happy with the result: it seems like the perfect match; the works correspond nicely, and the whole set up of the room couldn’t be more harmonic.
While Boris will be showing photos and watercolors, Alex brought along brand new china ink brush drawings as well as a series of collages. Most of the work has never been exhibited before and was specifically created for the Factory Fresh show.
