"Urban Furniture" was inspired by Durand's nightly strolls in Barcelona, where he studied for a year. It is a photographic essay about the furniture that Barcelona residents leave outside their homes once a month, a tradition unique to this animated Spanish metropolitan. At night, the city livens with a spirit that is not present in daylight. Even a sofa becomes something else. Durand’s “Urban Furniture” is a colorful exhibition about the magic that emerges in Barcelona’s streets at nighttime.
Here are some snapshots of Ernesto's visit to the CoHo:

All good things may come to an end, but fortunately, SOCA now has a new exhibition on display at the CoHo: "Death and Life; Afghanistan." Stanford grad student René Morkos took hundreds of photos while working as an engineer in Afghanistan, culminating in an eye-opening exhibition that explores the fine line between life and death.
Come to the CoHo tomorrow (Thursday) night at 7pm to hear René speak about his experience in Afghanistan and the stories behind his photographs. Here's a sneak peek:
