Guest Curator, Alberto Magnan, founder and director of two Chelsea galleries, Magnan Projects and Magnan Emrich Contemporary, especially liked the photography entries. He chose Spanish photographic artist, Laila Escartin for the honor of both launching and closing July in a blaze of red heat. Other artists he also favored are Jean Marcellino (New York) and Hector Olvera (Mexico). Donna Cleary (New York) and Gerard Elleboudt (Belgium) each got an especially enthusiastic nod from Alberto as he selected their pieces.
