And photographic work by the painter Ian Whitmore, whom I recently recommended here after seeing his stuff in DC...

In Photo-Op, the 14th annual photographic competition exhibition at PCNW, picked by the get-the-art-out-there 20x200 inventor/dealer Jen Bekman, who's giving a talk at SAM at 7 pm Friday.

Oh, those brothel pics are fantastic! I don't get it, though -- are those communal, uh, service rooms? That doesn't sound very sexy to me.

Did they remove all of the furniture? Or was there never any to begin with? (I'm a little creeped out by the large stuffed bears in one room.)

It's Korea, I imagine the cushions and mats are the furniture.
