The exhibition is currently on view until 27 October 2007 at Patio Art Center, The Academy of Humanities and Economics, in Łódź, Poland. Below are some shots of the opening night, friday, 12 October. The evening started with a press conference at the Patio Gallery space with the artists, curators, staff, students, faculty and public.



Participants and guests then moved across the courtyard to the Camouflash exhibition spaces.



Shilpa Gupta from India showed large photographs on the outside front of the building and Kristaps Gulbris from Latvia installed a signpost titled, “No Security Cameras Here.” An intermedia peformance by Jessica Higgins took place at 6:30 pm called “Poem Song.” She was assisted by Erika Knerr with saxaphone performed by Tomasz Ogrodowczyk.
