Exhibit / Näyttely · LIVE IN NYC · JAN 10th-FEB 9th 2014

I just got a word yesterday that my photography exhibit 'LIVE IN NYC' will be LIVE in the old Town Hall Gallery by the Old Great Square in Turku in January 10th - February 9th 2014. I am VERY excited about that. Preparations for the exhibit and opening have already started! The show should be well worth a visit and the admission is free.

The gallery space is perfect for my show - the historical building space combined with modern dancers and cityscapes of New York City will create a unique juxtaposition of time & space.

Gallery is open Tuesday-Friday 12-19 and Saturday-Sunday 11-17.
