The Exhibition is held in conjuctions with
CHELSEA HOTEL - GHOSTS OF BOHEMIA
Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe and Harry Smith
Julia Calfee has lived and photographed in the Chelsea Hotel for over
four years. As she describes it, "When I photographed at the Chelsea
Hotel, I would stay in a space or situation for hours. Time would
pass and my presence would become less and less visible. Sometimes
I would even disappear."
Applying a gritty and dramatic style to this bizarre and unique Chelsea
state of mind, Calfee's exhibition Inside The Chelsea Hotel is a
visual quest for the unifying elements of the people who choose to live
in this place and the ghosts who still lurk in its shadows.

INSIDE, THE CHELSEA HOTEL PHOTOGRAPHED BY JULIA CALFEE
"People are always asking me what it's like to live in the Chelsea
Hotel. Not always easy. There are times I felt like a fly caught in
a spider's web, at risk of being eaten alive if I made the wrong
move. ..."

Spirits and Ghosts: Journeys Through Mongolia

"These journeys in Mongolia took me 9,000 miles over five years. The
common element in all these voyages, even stronger that the ghosts, were
the spirits who live high and free with this land where nature still brings
mortals to their knees."
