Michael Alago - Rough Gods
October 6th, 2007
Famed catalyst of the NYC music and art scenes for over 20 years, Michael Alago has recently become a name world-wide for his photography.
His eclectic taste and joie de vivre have taken him on a wild ride since his youth: from booking U2’s first New York City gig at the Ritz at age 21, to hanging out with Mapplethorpe, to signing Metallica and Nina Simone, to partying with Iggy Pop and David Lee Roth in the men’s room of the famed Peppermint Lounge, Alago has seen and done it all. But he always wants more- more muscle, more art, more men, more beauty. Fearless and bold, his photographs are a testament to his love of all of this and more.
Michael Alago has exhibited in New York City, Berlin, Paris, Toronto, and San Francisco, among other cities. Now Farrington Smith Gallery welcomes him with an opening reception for his show on Saturday, October 13th from 6-9 p.m. Please join us!
You can check out more of Michael’s work here on his website. His Rough Gods book will be available at the gallery, as well.
The show runs through November 3, 2007.
