Shaolin: Temple of Zen
Photographs by Justin Guariglia
February 2 - March 29, 2008
Public Reception: Saturday, February 2, 5-7pm

Shaolin: Temple of Zen is an exhibition and publication that documents, for the first time in history, the exceptionally private warrior monks of the fifteen-hundred-year-old Shaolin Temple in the Henan province of China. Justin Guariglia’s body of work brings to light the secretive society of the Chinese Buddhist sect dedicated to preserving a form of kung fu known as a “vehicle of Zen.” Over the course of eight years, Guariglia earned the monksï¿½ trust to create a compelling record of their traditions.
