Joie de Vivre Debuts Sexy-Surfer-Chic Boutique Property in Huntington Beach|2009

Bringing a decidedly sophisticated, yet free-spirited vibe to Huntington Beach, Joie de Vivre’s new Shorebreak Hotel opens today. The boutique hotel juxtaposes modern beach culture and urban design to create a hotel that offers an alternate definition of luxury, one where guests feel like they are a part of a club ? but a club where shoes are optional.

The hotel features photography by Art Brewer, who recreated the famous photo shoot he did for Beach Culture magazine in the late 1980s under the Huntington Beach Pier for the hotel and its Zimzala Restaurant. The photos of local and famous surfers, taken in October 2008, appear throughout the property. Additional artwork inspired by surf and sea, by artists such as Alex Weinstein, Jeff Canham, Andy Hughes, Andy Davis, Scott Richards, David Loyd and Ron Stoner, are also found throughout the hotel.

THE NEW LANDSCAPE 17 January - 14 March 2009

‘The New Landscape’ will bring together artists working in Cornwall who have, in different ways, been inspired by the landscape. One of the distinctive features of art made in Cornwall over a number of generations has been its relationship to the landscape. In recent years in Cornwall artistic representations of the landscape have taken a large number of forms beyond traditional painting. Increasingly, newer media, like video and digital photography, have become important, often as a way of documenting interventions or performances in the landscape. This exhibition will show a wide variety of work in a range of media, which all share a relationship with the Cornish landscape.
