FERNANDO BENGOECHEA AT CRISTINA GRAJALES GALLERY
Cristina Grajales Gallery will show “Woven Together: Reflections,” a collaborative exhibition honoring the late photographer Fernando Bengoechea and the innovative woven photography technique he pioneered. The exhibition features Fernando’s original images, handwoven by his brother Marcelo Bengoechea, who is dedicated to preserving Fernando’s artistic legacy. Fernando died in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami; his former partner, the noted interior designer Nate Berkus, has co-curated the exhibition, which also includes work from other artists.
It’s a very emotional exhibition. Thank you.
