Merg,

If you attend can you report back for those of us who can not?

Do you know how things worked out for them in Chicago?

Allen,

I often see them when they come this way and will probably attend the opening. I rarely attend openings, but this may be an exception. I'll ask about the Chicago experience, if appropriate, and let you know.

Merg,

Allen

I would rather let Michael and Paula speak for themselves, but they did get a lot of work done. I saw some of it a few days ago and it is stunning!

That is great news, thank you.

Understandable, I am very happy to hear they managed to produce some great images despite the stress of the rocky beginning.

Went.
M+P look well, the work is great, the big Platinum prints are stunning. There is also a selection of silver / contact prints from both of them from other than the Iceland series.
It's a new gallery that opened it's doors just this March, nice space and an interesting roster of artists. Only a three block walk from Powell St. BART too.
Highly recommended.
