Galerie Catherine et André Hug presents a two-person booth showing works from two American artists Carl Corey and Kristin Bedford.

Kristin Bedford will be presented with "Cruise Night", a collection of unstaged photographs she made with the Los Angeles Mexican American lowrider community throughout Southern California and Nevada from 2014 to 2019. Lowriders are cars, usually large sedans, modified to ride very low to the ground. These are not high-performance vehicles, these are works of art. Lowrider culture is also a practice of devotion to one’s car, it is a question of culture of identity, truth, nostalgia and preservation.

Carl Corey is an American photographer based in River Falls, Wisconsin whose work focuses upon the American Cultural Landscape with an eye towards areas of historical significance. Carl knows his country intimately from trips that criss-cross America, shining a light on small communities and unseen ordinarily unseen, his observations are like singular postcards identifying physical and and societal landmarks. Corey documents the past and the present all co-mingled with temporal. In 2019, Carl Corey received a Guggenheim Fellowship in Photography.
