JAMES HUGHES & CASEY McVICKER at the opening. March 31, 2009

JAMES HUGHES presented 'ZERO LIABILITY' a neat hat trick on construction zone legal & 'liability' signs, found - throughout the city. the tone was political and the graphics were deliberately & interestingly - low-key.

JAMES HUGHES graduates this JUNE 2009 - with a degree in GRAPHIC DESIGN at SVA - School of Visual Arts, NYC.

JAMES HUGHES, 'ZERO LIABILITY'.
graphic design on point, and in thought - aka the cutting edge.
March 31, 2009

the images are technically - limited edition silkscreens, playing off of NYC construction licensing signs, and backed on 4 x 8 ft. wood panels. the silkscreen signs themselves are 26 x 36 in.

. . . . 'and before I knew it' !!
worth a second TAKE !!

that's a definite to-do.

Corey also had a nice selection of unframed prints on a table. COREY PRESHA, 'SIMPLE COMFORTS'. His work is also somewhat of a political commentary - in its own homespun low-key way.
though I would say his photos are distinguished and stand apart - just for their purely visual & beautiful 'recording a moment's' stance. March 31, 2009
