Ryan Mcginley, dubbed one of Warhol’s children, has completed another successful project titled “I Know Where the Summer Goes” which drew a huge crowd at the Team gallery. The showing consisted of photos he took on a 2007 road trip around the States with 16 models, 3 assistants and a good stash of film. The result was 4,000 rolls of film of imagery that look like they’re from an earlier era; full of nudity, nature, freedom, and the trademark late night debauchery and early morning come-downs. The gallery showing included appearances from A-ron the Don and Leo Fitzpatrick amongst the artsy crowd.
