LOS ANGELES, February 4, 2009- Loyola Marymount University's Art Department is proud to present "Freak Show," a partnership production by Kirsten Harkonen and Kendal Coopman, showing February 18-March 6, 2009. The artists' opening reception will be held Thursday, February 19 from 6-9pm at the exhibition space, the Thomas P. Kelly, Jr. Student Art Gallery.

Harkonen and Coopman are two young artists who've joined efforts to create a collective display. One from San Francisco and the other Valencia, the friends worked in collusion with their artistry somewhere in the middle. Both women are senior-year art major students at Loyola Marymount University, and they will transform part of their school into "Freak Show" with photographs and an installation for the soon upcoming three weeks.

Their collaborative photographic works will be open to the pubic at the Thomas P. Kelly, Jr. Student Art Gallery, which is located within the Fritz B. Burns Fine Arts Center on Loyola Marymount University's south side of campus.
