DENNIS McGRATH: HEAVEN + DEANNA TEMPLETON: THEY SHOULD NEVER TOUCH THE GROUND
"Dennis McGrath’s Heaven illustrates an incredible journey of a lost soul. Professional skateboarder Lennie Kirk began his career in the early nineties at the ripe young age of sixteen. He was a wild child - fearless and invincible - for whom nothing seemed out of his reach. He was only eighteen when he was run over by a truck. Board broken but otherwise unharmed, he walked away from skateboarding and ‘found God’. However, after finding salvation, his wild antics were no different, and if anything, became crazier. His passion was manic and dangerous, and often got him into trouble. Lennie is currently serving thirteen years in jail - his second incarceration. With an intense collection of letters, photographs, and ephemera, McGrath takes us on a visual journey through Lennie’s wild ride of life".
Hot-off-the-press from Arcana favorite Deadbeat Club Press, Deanna Templeton's They Should Never Touch The Ground is a wry, engaging photographic survey of today's 'creative' uses of the American Flag-motif, and the sometimes misplaced respect for 'Old Glory' itself. Known primarily for over a decade's work of telling portraits of girls grappling with the transition to adulthood, her photographs have been the subject of five previous books along with a number of gallery and Museum exhibitions.
So drop by between 4:00 to 6:00 PM, Sunday, May 10th for a lemonade or a beer, and come and hang with Deanna and Dennis to celebrate the publication of They Should Never Touch the Ground and Heaven!
