Exhibits We Love :: Olek, Closing Party

Exhibits We Love :: Olek, Closing Party

Mike & I had the pleasure of filming a studio visit with crochet uberartist, Olek yesterday and it was beyond fun. Her solo show at Christopher Henry Gallery will be closing with a bang this Friday night – black lights & all. After seeing Olek’s yarn boudoir, hearing her infectious laugh & jokes for days, we will definitely be there. If you can’t make it, her show has been selected to be part of a traveling museum show set to open at the Smithsonian in 2012. Check back to see our Off the Hook profile with Olek and the Jonathan LeVine Gallery on Babelgum. – Moni Vargas
