SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Frey Norris Gallery is pleased to present, “Hotel California” the debut solo exhibition for Los Angeles based artist Trek Thunder Kelly, opening Thursday, March 15 and continuing through April 29, 2007. Transforming the space into a hotel lobby (only a block from one of many real Hotel Californias) will allow Kelly to explore dozens of facets of California ’s identity and impact in the larger world.

Witness the complete transformation of Frey Norris Gallery into the slickest quintessence of California ever to grace a gallery space, an examination and celebration of the many things perverse, sentimental, magnificent, cliché, warped and saccharine that often define our enchanting state.

View four by six foot painted portraits of conflated icons like Lauren Bacall, James Dean, Clark Gable and Jim Morrison with modern day celebrities like Demi Moore and Kobe Bryant.

Hotel California will also include a giant Sequoia tree made with wetsuits, a life-sized bear decked out with fortune-cookie fortune fur hovering over a mini Humvee, thousands of golden keys (with a treasure hunt), a door to a Watercloset with separate fountains for "Americans" and "Immigrants" embedded inside, and a Levitra "Casting Couch" and Cialis ottomans — all manufactured by the artist.
