LABspace is very pleased to present two shows of
photography by longtime friends and colleagues, Gail LeBoff and DGKrueger. Glacier
Girls by LeBoff and Private Collection by Krueger open with
a reception for the artists on Saturday, December 12 from noon-2pm and runs
through Saturday, January 9.
Gail LeBoff travels annually to Iceland where she
photographs the exquisite silence of the white glacier landscapes. She also
photographs pre-adolescent figure skaters (anonymously) at skating rinks and
places them within these glacier environments. The resulting image of young
skaters in the exquisite, endangered, vulnerable and silent glaciers speaks
volumes to the precarious situation we are handing the next generation of
humanity.

For his new
photographic series Private Collection, Krueger explores the marriage of private and public as well as the
current drive to brand and market culture. With these photographs Krueger creates wonderfully humorous
scenarios whereby his 32-year gay relationship has been busted out of the
proverbial art-world closet. The couple’s snapshots are now front and center on
museum and gallery walls and at auction at Sotheby's. It is still rare to see
images of homosexual relationships at auction or in museums and fine art
galleries. Krueger takes matters in his own hands, deftly balancing critique of
the art world with unabashed celebration of the personal.
