Bridge Hotel in Miami

Brian Dettmer's book cuts
Bridge Hotel was a nightmare...but no one would believe that as it is photographically represented here - I've exercised my aptitude for making things look cool when they're not. Over-crowded (due to physical space not attendance) and poorly lit, Bridge Hotel was a dark maze of safe, unimpressive work (lots of prints and photography) with a cash bar. Except where otherwise stated, these are photos of the pieces I liked:
Lyndi Sales' hand-cut newspaper pieces

Virginie Sommet's paper laptop

Michelle Hinebrook's "fragment"

Virginie Sommet's shoes

Some boring photography showcased by Myartspace.com
Although Bridge Hotel boasts previous commercial success, it may want a change of venue and, for that matter, additional exhibitors.
