Annie Wharton Galley show closes Jan. 13th



TargetVideo's exhibit at the Annie Wharton Gallery in West Hollywood will be closing on Friday, Jan. 13, 2012.  Don't miss you chance to view Target's work in this unique gallery setting.  Two installations of single channel video present two of the many, varied viewing experiences Target has engaged in over the decades.  The first is a large wall projection surrounded by ephemera from the period.  The second is  a black room with a couch that plays only Black Flag videos.  Yes, the TV party approach.  Included in a wall of punk posters are large format prints pulled from select TargetVideo's.  These are for sale through the gallery.
