The exhibition will take place January 3 – January 28, 2012 at SOHO20 Chelsea Gallery utilizing all three exhibition spaces at the gallery. The gallery features more than 1,200 sq. ft of exhibition space and more than 200 feet of running wall space.

Proposals may include changes to the gallery space, i.e. painting walls, physical modifications etc. with the understanding that the gallery must be returned to its original state within 12 hours of the end of the exhibition.
