Woven Together, An Art Exhibit

The first U.S. Exhibition “Woven Together” featuring Fernando Bengoechea’s images woven by his brother Marcelo is taking place in Palm Springs during Modernism week.  The gala opening event is Saturday, February 18th from 6-9 PM at Super Simple a gay-owned home store located at 800 N. Palm Canyon Dr. The artwork will be on sale and the exhibit will remain in the store for 30 days.  The store was selected because the aesthetics were similar to those of Fernando and Nate’s.

The Rest of the Story...

Internationally acclaimed photographer Fernando Bengoechea, tragically lost his life in the Tsunami of 2004. As you may remember, Fernando was vacationing in Sri Lanka with his partner celebrity designer Nate Berkus. Nate miraculously survived. Fernando’s body was never found. He was 39. Fernando’s brother, Marcelo Bengoechea, took a very long time to accept his brother’s death. When he finally did, what he could not accept was that his art would die with him. So, Marcelo has made it his mission to keep his brother’s art alive.
