Uploaded the images from the Preview Dinner (and from setting up the show, and the process of cooking for it at the gallery kitchen) we hosted September 1st for the opening of the Group Show "Mountain To Surf", featuring works by Nina Braun, Jon Burgerman, Victor Castillo, Alex Diamond, Boris Hoppek, Jeremy Fish & Casey McKee.

The menue.

And yes, before you ask:  

* this place is run by a cowboy who can cook, so no catering service was involved;

* all food was prepared on location at the new gallery kitchen, that's one of the reason's why the space doesn't resemble a white cube and why we do call it the Ranch;

* and everyone got out alive, well fed and healthy.

There was no time yet to take decent pictures from the installation of the artworks, this will follow later this week. You may, however, check out the artwork overview:

About the show

Now open: Mountain To Surf - Group Show

 

We are pleased to present the 2010 Season Opening Exhibition showcasing 7 artists from our gallery. The exhibition will feature painting, photography, drawing, wood cuts and sculpture, with works by:

Nina Braun, Jon Burgerman, Victor Castillo, Alex Diamond, Boris Hoppek, Jeremy Fish & Casey McKee.

Friday, Sep 3 - Friday, Sep 17, 2010

open tuesdays - fridays, 12 a.m. - 7 p.m.

Most of the works shown at "Mountain To Surf" have never been exhibited in Hamburg before. These works have been presented at fairs and exhibitions in Basel (Mountains), New York (somewhere in between = To), Barcelona/Miami (Surf) ... you get the idea.

Mountain To Surf is also the name of a small annual run I've participated in Lorne, Australia ages ago, that begins in the mountains (hills...) above the coast, continues on forest tracks through the bushland (woods) and ends on the beach, almost in the surf (it really does - after the finishing line you are basically standing right inside the breaking waves).

Our long-time companion Stephen Smith, also known as Neasden Control Centre, opens his large solo-show "More with less" at the MU in Eindhoven on August 20. All information about this exhibition can be found at his website or over at No New Enemies (who'll also most likely post a follow up after the opening).

Wish we could be there, Steve. Best of luck, and I am sure it's going to be massive.
