He is an old friend of my Pops and has been doin some collages for the past few years and never showed them before….and now he is! He is hanging his work over at HIFI where `i have been working for the past 5 yrs or so. I curate the art there and he is next.

The reception is 7till 10 or so..at 169 Ave A between 10th and 11th streets in Alphabet City NYC..and here is a bio of Doug..hope you can come! and thanks for looking.
Douglas Landau was born in Manhattan on March 14, 1957, and is based in New York City. His extensive travels, including sojourns in San Francisco, Firenze, Italia, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires have fortified his art.
Landau’s work utilizes tiny stimuli to form one whole. The deconstructed images from magazine cut outs form intricate kaleidoscopic-like landscapes inviting viewers to investigate.
His compositions engage content, color and movement in a uniquely conceptual manner.
In the mid 1980’s, during the heyday of the East Village art scene, Landau opened and operated the now legendary ‘King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut’. There he produced shows by internationally recognized artists including Blue Man Group, Steve Buscemi, DANCENOISE, Paul Zaloon (Beakmans World), John Zorn, Ethyl Eichelberger and others.
Douglas Landau is a multidisciplinary artist working with photography, video, sound, and performance. His solo work has been presented at ‘La Mama’ and he has toured with the group ‘Dream Theater’ throughout Italy and Germany.
