The opening of Mythical Creatures at La Capella, Gardiner NY on the 4th of July was a great success. Gallery director Matthew Bialecki not only designed the stands on which the Janz animals were exhibited, but also recreated the sculpture “Quakaar” as a 15ft effigy, and burned it in a bonfire during the 4th of July celebrations later that night. Robert was not able to attend the out-of-town opening, but when he saw the images and video he was completely entranced. “He got it exactly right”…”this is my dream,” he said. The exhibition is accompanied by Daniel Albanese's photographs of Janz street work. Clips from “Janz in the Moment” played in the gallery. The exhibition is in place all summer and viewable by appointment.
