It seems like only yesterday when someone forwarded me a link to Phillip Tolendano's Days With My Father, a very moving site and critically acclaimed book. Mr Toledano, as his site proclaims, is at it again with a beautifully disturbing body of work called A New Kind of Beauty. A show of the work opens in New York (DUMBO) on Wednesday, September 8 from 6-8pm @ KLOMPCHING. And as I have pointed out before, KlompChing is a gallery worth visiting.
"Beauty has always been a currency,
and now that we finally have the technological means to mint our own,
what choices do we make?"
