JAMIE ADAMS IS PARIS DREAM'N AT PHILIP SLEIN GALLERY
Reception: Friday, January 28th, 2011, 6-8 pm
runs through February 25th

Jamie Adams will be showing the latest paintings from his "jeannie" series, a realist grisaille homage to the beautiful and tragic Jean Seberg, star of Godard's cult-film classic, Breathless. In Paris Dream'n Jamie re-frames the Seberg character's Paris apartment as a painting studio and a self-referential site. Jamie himself appears in his paintings as an androgynous child, a younger
version, perhaps, of Jean Seberg the androgynous adult. The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalog with an essay by Daniel McGrath.

Also showing will be Mel Watkin's Trunk Show curated by Dana Turkovic. In an essay written for the exhibition. Hours: Tues.-Sat. 10am-5pm
