Racoco gets a Greek presence - 02/13/2011 In 2006 photographer and friend Silke Hase took photos of Rachel working with clay at her Clifton Residency at Harvard. Not long after, several of Silke's photos were featured in Antilipseis, a Greek magazine. Now, Antilipseis is organizing an exhibition in Athens of photographs from past issues of the magazine, called "Photovision 2011". The exhibition will travel to some other Greek cities. The photo above will be traveling with the exhibition. Photovision 2011 »
