also on display, along with books filled with the artists' thoughts on
this compelling show concept.
Many

Guertin, Sara Singh, Kenzo Minami, Kirsten Ulve, Olimpia Zagnoli, Yuri
Birdfish, Felix-Gabriel Smith, Kana Togashi, and Erotic Dragon (who
came all the way from Tokyo!) If you missed the opening, stop by gallery hanahou through November 20 to
