Opening Night Party: Tim Gerken's
FAIR TRADE - Photography Exhibit
When: Friday, April 6, 2012 6:00 -
9:00 PM
Where: Savage Gallery 870 Research Drive Palm Springs, CA 92262
760-464-5978
Description: Provocative, sexy,
homoerotic exhibit of Carnies and Cowboys at the County Fair. Celebrated
photographer Tim Gerken captures the testosterone-driven, natural beauty of men
in this striking, colorful and down right "hawt" show at The Savage Gallery.
Opening Night Party - Friday of White Party
Weekend. Show runs thru April 15.
The
artist describes his show: "The dirt and sugar sit together on the
Waffle Cake and the deep fried Oreos melt your tongue, but there is beauty in
the lights and the swagger of the young men that walk the midway. Alone, in a
group, or with their girl—maybe with a tiger in her arms—each carries a
confidence that only these fairs seem to bring out. I think it is this momentary
freedom that I find attractive: even the little guy, swings the hammer and tries
to ring the bell; the chubby kid smiles next to his prize winning hog. There is
a natural beauty in these men. (But, I have seen their fathers and it doesn’t
necessarily last). They become part of the games they play and I love trying to
catch that."
