Posted by Sarah, April 24, 2012

“Fresh Kills” @ Anonymous Gallery (Mexico)

Posted by sleepboy, January 27, 2012

The Anonymous Gallery kicked off their Mexico City location with a bang with a recently closed group show – Fresh Kills. The title of the showing refers to the 2,200 acres in New York known as Fresh Kills Landfill that will be converted to a huge public park over the course of the next 30 years.
