Kristy, Rachel and I are doing a show at ArtStorm, which will open August 16th. Here's the link to the gallery and the show announcement:

Here's what they have to say about us.....
The Photography of Rachel Hewlett, Kristy Peet, and David McClain
August 16 - September 13, 2008
This exhibition, curated by original ArtStorm board member Monte Large, represents the quintessential modern photographic perspective. All participating photographers in this group exhibition will present their signature works, which will be arranged for the first time together in the ArtStorm galleries. Rachel Hewlett's work reflects remnants and things we leave behind, subtly and mysteriously investigating elements of mundane life. Through similarly coordinated presentation, Kristy Peet’s work is an eerie and intuitive glimpse into the "character" of objects that seem to have a life of their own, as well as its own compelling and unique brand of composition and portraiture. David McClain’s Hotel series represents a vehicle for the artist to reconcile the demands of professional life with his interest in conceptual photography.
Opening reception on Saturday, August 16, from 7- 10 p.m., featuring live music by Houston-born, Berlin-based DJ Plank, hailed as the latest wunderkind of the European underground club scene, spinning tracks from krautrock and prog rock to Japanese new wave.

This show will be so cool that they scheduled the opening (a) after I've left town; and (b) after my bedtime. I should go to an opening one day where there is actually a dj. Seriously, ArtStorm is a pretty great little alternative space that does seem genuinely excited to show work that doesn't show elsewhere, and since it is actually inside the loop, maybe a ton of folks will show up, especially since there is a Berlin-based DJ. Monte of ArtStorm told us there were about 500 people at the last opening. Impressive.
