A Sarah Hurwitz Art Exclusive

Illegally filmed at the eye lounge earlier today. The latest Hurwitz show "Fearless."

The show focuses a large painting representing a forest of fears, and an alphabet of fears. Her fears seem to range from completely normal phobias to oddly humorous personal ones. I am a big fan of P, I, and the ever popular O; O is for Opening the door in an airplane and getting sucked out. Also, interesting are the hundred or so hand drawn bugs on the wall in random order. Like a bug scavenger hunt you can locate the midges (1293 & 1294), a species of whip spider? (1297) or common cockchafer (1187). If you can't make it to the show you can still learn her alphabet of fears from the book.
