Miguel Abreu opens his gallery at 36 Orchard Street with paintings by Blake Rayne and Straub-Huillet films
In March 2006 the filmmaker Miguel Abreu inaugurated his gallery in a storefront at 36 Orchard Street, on a block of century-old tenements long occupied by tailors, menswear outlets and Chinese manufacturers. The first show paired Blake Rayne's paintings with screenings of films by Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, including The Death of Empedocles and Cézanne. Abreu also handed out an essay on the filmmakers by Dominique Païni.
