Mark Gonzales – Round N’ Round
(October 16 – November 28, 2009)

Franklin Parrasch Gallery is pleased to present Round N’ Round – an exhibition which includes the premier of a new film and sculpture, as well as drawings, poems and correspondences by Mark Gonzales. Gonzales, who has been skateboarding professionally since he was a teenager is a prime mover in bringing the inherently improvisational, free-ranging attitude manifested in skateboarding’s engagement with the built and graphic environment to a wider audience. Gonzales’s work has been exhibited internationally, and his skating has been documented by Spike Jonze among other filmmakers.

With an accompanying two-volume deluxe catalogue published by Elk Books

Reception for the artist Friday, October 16, 2009, 6 pm – 8pm
@ Franklin Parrasch Gallery : 20 West 57th Street 7th floor
