The inimitable art videographer James Kalm has taken time out from his own exhibition to pay a visit to The Joe Bonham Project at Storefront Gallery. What results is a "Rough Cut" tour of this exhibition by Kalm and guest curator James Panero.

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.
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.
