'Iconic moments' on sale for a night
Advertiser Staff
Airspace Workshop, a multimedia design studio run by Josh Lake and Chris Kalima, is holding a one-night-only photography installation and sale of works by contributors to San Francisco's critically acclaimed Hamburger Eyes journal. On Friday, gallery goers have just three hours to check out what Airspace Workshop's press release says captures "the unseen and iconic moments of everyday life."
Lake and Kalima just happen to be pals with Hamburger Eyes editor-publisher-photographers (and brothers) Ray and David Potes, and the whole gang is from Hawai'i.
Taking over the gallery that was workspace, Airspace Workshop's show, "Yesterday + Tomorrow" will feature photographs by both Potes brothers, Stefan Simikich, Jason Roberts, Dave Schubert, Ted Pushinsky, Dylan Maddux, David Uzzardi and Boogie.
Ray Potes, 31, started the triannual Hamburger Eyes as a "Xerox-style zine" in Honolulu in 2001. When he moved to San Francisco in 2003, he "decided to kick it up a notch and went for an offset print style," according to a press release. "It seemed to work out good." So good, that the San Francisco Chronicle called it the source of "some of the hottest urban photography to emerge in San Francisco in recent years."
And the one-night show? Lake says it's the result of the Potes' being home for the holidays, and a short window of time before he and Kalima turn it into 4-year-old Airspace Workshop's new office.
"We wanted to give them an opportunity to have a show out here," Kalima says. "I don't know of other venues where they'd be able to show their work."
