National Review: Bonham a "Worthy Tribute"

National Review features a pitch-perfect article by Patrick Brennan on "Joe Bonham Project in Brooklyn: A Worthy Tribute":

If one had to guess what kind of art resides in a recently opened Brooklyn gallery, a somber celebration of wounded U.S. soldiers would probably not come to mind. But Bushwick is full of surprises, and one is a new exhibition of drawings from the Joe Bonham Project, which chronicles the experiences of wounded American soldiers, curated by James Panero, managing editor of The New Criterion.

9/11 at Bushwick's Storefront

Katarina Hybenova at Bushwick Daily has written a wonderful essay of the opening night at Storefront.

The exhibition opened last Thursday, and coming to Storefront felt different than on other occasions. The familiar space was filled with soldiers in their festive uniforms. Many of them got a special leave from the military, James tells me later.

Thank you, Katarina, for this thoughtful piece.

A Decade-long Day

The New York Sun features a great article on The Joe Bonham Project at Storefront.

"9/11 did not end on 9/11. For American soldiers, 9/11 has been a decade-long day," says James Panero, noted art critic, Managing Editor of The New Criterion, and curator of "The Joe Bonham Project," currently on display at Storefront. "As of this summer, over 44,000 troops have been wounded in conflicts following the attacks of September 11. Over 1,300 of them have undergone partial or full amputations. 'The Joe Bonham Project' represents the efforts of wartime illustrators to document their rehabilitation."

Thank you Franklin Einspruch for this honor and recognizing the sacrifices of our wounded warriors.
