Opening Reception

5:00-7:0pm
Jessica Hagen is pleased to announce the opening of the new exhibit: OFF THE WALL On Safari with E.A. Kahane. The exhibition is equal parts photography show and art installation and is unlike anything the artist has ever created before. While Elizabeth Kahane delighted her viewers with photos of NYC in her first show, the new exhibit treats them to something far more wild: an African safari in not only two, but three dimensions. E. A. Kahane explains, “I saw The 1/4 Mile by Robert Rauschenberg at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art last February and I was blown away. I couldn’t wait to go home, gather up my images and make silkscreens with them. Suddenly, I was inspired to do so much more with my photographs than simply put them in a square frame. I began to fabricate sculptural pieces using my images, to experiment with dimensional printing, and even to design wallpaper. The title Off The Wall grew out of this multifaceted approach to my art.”
