Check out the Exhibit BED, Juried by Harvey Stein, at the Umbrella Arts Gallery in NYC. The opening is June 11 from 6-8 at 317 E. 9th Street. I have a photograph titled Naipes from Nicaragua in the exhibit of Victor playing cards on his bed in the group home at Si a La Vida, where he lives.
About the Exhibit
In BED we mate, procreate, migrate, elucidate, masticate, investigate, commiserate, hibernate, communicate, prevaricate, procrastinate, educate, ruminate. We all have BED but it’s mostly hidden away in a remote room upstairs in our houses or in the back room of our apartments. BED is rarely discussed, is mostly taken for granted, yet we use it more than anything else in the house, spending perhaps one third of our lifetime there.
BED is where we cavort, entertain and are entertained, where we eat, sleep, talk on the phone, read, watch TV, dream, hang out, escape to. We live much of our life there, mostly our private lives, including dying. In this exhibit personal, fun, beautiful startling photographs reveal the concept of BED.
