JACKSON AND GABLE, OPENING MARCH 19 2005
The Sweat Band Gallery opened its first show on the 19th of March, 2005 at the Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt AM Main, Germany in conjunction with the What's New Pussycat exhibition.

The first show was by Tamara Henderson, Tamara embroidered the name Clark Gable over the name Micheal Jackson with flourecent green yarn. This piece was inspired by a dream where she found the sweat band, wrist variety, on the ground, and Clark Gable was emroidered over Micheal Jackson with gold thread. Henderson chose flourececnt green instead of gold becasue, it is a nicer color.
