Reception on Saturday, February 19, 2005

Julio Grinblatt,

Slought Foundation presents "Cielito lindo," an exhibition of new work by Julio Grinblatt, on display from February 19 - May 19, 2005. Please join us for the opening reception on Saturday, February 19, 2005 from 6:30-8:30pm. This exhibition features photographs that resulted from the following instructions:

1) I took a photograph of a clear sky. The photograph had no references whatsoever.
2) I sent the negative to a professional color lab.
3) I asked the printer to print a beautiful sky.
4) I repeated this operation in different color labs and/or in different cities.
5) I aim to map the variation of the idea of beauty.
