Hosang Park + Colleen Plumb are 2008's HHS! Ne Plus Ultras!

Selected from 2008's ten talented Hot Shots, Hosang Park and Colleen Plumb will be represented by Jen Bekman Gallery and slated for solo exhibitions, presented for book publishing projects and exhibited at art fairs in the coming year. Previous Hot Shot group exhibitions and solo shows have garnered attention from the New York Times, The New Yorker, Art in America, PDN, STEP Magazine, and The Village Voice.

Congratulations to Colleen + Hosang + all of 2008's Hot Shots!

It was nearly impossible to choose this year's Ultras, but after careful consideration, Colleen and Hosang emerged as the best fits for the gallery's roster. They were selected from an extremely competitive group of photographers — everyone thoroughly impressed our esteemed panel which includes: Jen Bekman, Christine Collins, Dana Faconti, Caterina Fake, Stephen Frailey, Raul Gutierrez, Darius Himes, Jenni Holder, Julia Leach, Nion McEvoy, Lesley A. Martin, Kent Rogowski and Stefan Ruiz. We owe much gratitude to every member of the panel for their time and commitment to Hey, Hot Shot!

We would also like to recognize every one of the 2008 Hot Shots for their talent and dedication. All of the year's Hot Shots participated in group exhibitions, Hey, Hot Shot! Volume IV Edition I and Edition II, at Jen Bekman Gallery and many have print editions featured on 20x200. You can expect to see lots more from all of them soon!
