Hotel California

Witness the complete transformation of Frey Norris Gallery into the slickest quintessence of California the world has ever seen, an examination and celebration of the many things perverse, sentimental, magnificent, cliché, warped and saccharine that often define our enchanting state. Trek Kelly contributes major canvases - four by six foot portraits - of icons like Lauren Bacall, James Dean, Clark Gable and Jim Morrison. A giant Sequoia tree made with wetsuits, a life-sized bear decked out for ballet, golden keys (with a treasure hunt), a door to Room 13, fountains for immigrants (and the clothes off their backs), a Viagra-cushioned casting couch – all will be manufactured by the artist to create the effect of being submerged in a vacation destination covering two hundred years of California history, beauty and shame.
