Home / Gallery / Exhibitions / Henry Horenstein: Show

SHOW

Henry Horenstein

On view: January 21 – February 27, 2011

Henry Horenstein, Jackie Beat, California Institute of Abnormalarts (CIA), Los Angeles, CA, 2007

In Show Henry Horenstein presents sensuous images of modern burlesque that are amusing, sexy, and harsh –– true reflections of the world they document. Horenstein explores the recent resurgence of burlesque on and off-stage. This contemporary form embraces style and humor and a range of performance types including the classic striptease, drag, modern dance, and a number of other “variety” acts.
