What's My Name? Chris Johanson

IMG_9914.JPG
Chris Johanson's solo exhibition "Totalities" opened at Deitch Projects last Thursday. It's a wild ride of tunnels, temples and space capsules. The psychedelic color experience paralyzed my camera taking skills during the opening, and you can check out more photos at Supertouch and Fecal Face. The show is up until October 18.
