ICEBOX Project Space, the expansive, museum-quality visual arts gallery at the gateway of the North American Street corridor, will host the thesis exhibition of recent Master of Fine Arts recipients from The University of Pennsylvania. The exhibit runs from May 16- June 4, 2008. Penn Design is pleased to have William Pym as exhibition curator. Pym is an active contributor to the arts in Philadelphia as a curator, writer, and art dealer. He has recently collaborated with John Pym on “What one small film tells us about how we live now”, an essay and glossary about a minor TV film from 1978, and the Indian films of Merchant Ivory Productions, and will be a contributing essayist for the catalogue accompanying English artist Mark Leckey’s midcareer survey at the Kolnischer Kunstverein this fall.
The Artists: Monica Bodnar, Warren Corlett, Rita Crocker, Jamal Cyrus, Gianna Delluomo, Jamie Diamond, Daniel Gerwin, Travis Heck, Deb Hoy, Leejin Kim, Shanjana Mahmud, Damon Reaves, Megan Rogers, Simon Slater, Ivanco Talevski, Molly Winston, Anastasia Wong, Sarah Zimmer Expansive and challenging, the artwork presented in this exhibition deals with a diverse range of subject matter, realized in various media. Issues pertaining to ecology and destruction, otherness and foreign culture, hysteria and delirium, as well as anxiety, both corporeal and cultural bring a unique body of work together from an outstanding group of young artists.

Many of the eighteen emerging artists in this exhibition have already received special recognition from prestigious organizations for their endeavors. Several members of this year’s class have attended the Vermont Studio Center residency as well as the Skowhegan residency program. Many have exhibited throughout North America, Europe, and Asia including Canada, Italy, United Kingdom, Macedonia, Iceland, and Japan. Highlights of their collective accolades include a Thouron Award, the Louis Comfort Tiffany Award, and representation at the 2006 Whitney Biennial.

Last chance to see Brent Wahl's exhibition at Vox Populi

BRENT WAHL: INTERPLANETARY DEATH STAR

The installation consists of an 18 foot long aluminum foil stadium and 550 2” x 2” images. The images are introduced into this ‘super stadium’ that functions as a framework and housing for the various darker issues that we grapple with historically and in the media each day – it is a response to a general frustration, fear, and understanding / misunderstanding of human nature.

The show runs March 7 - March 30 and there will be a gallery talk on Sunday March 23rd at 1pm with Irene Hofmann, Executive Director, Contemporary Museum of Baltimore.

Please see the Vox website for gallery hours. The gallery is located at 319 North 11th Street, 3rd Floor.

voxpopuligallery.org

Brent Wahl's photography, installation, and time-based media work focuses on conjuring the undercurrent of our reality; he is interested in connecting various cultural phenomenon, abstraction, magic, time, illusion, and the spectacle.

Carrie Mae Weems' exhibition reviewed in The New York Times, 29 Feb 2008

CARRIE MAE WEEMS (Penn MFA Senior Critic and Visiting Professor)

A Survey
Jack Shainman Gallery
513 West 20th Street, Chelsea
Through March 8


I don’t know why Carrie Mae Weems hasn’t had a midcareer museum retrospective. No American photographer of the last quarter-century — her first solo show was in 1984 — has turned out a more probing, varied and moving body of work. None has made more adventurous use of the photographic medium, adding performance, film and installation to the serial print format. Ms. Weems has not wanted for institutional attention; but the topographical view that a retrospective offers is missing.

So “A Survey,” her debut at Shainman, will have to do for now. The show takes Ms. Weems’s work back to the early 1990s, with the haunting “Sea Islands Series” of photo-and-text pieces that evoke African-American lives off the coast of South Carolina and Georgia. It continues with bits from several mid-1990s projects, among them the extraordinary meditations on the anthropology of race called “From Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried” (1995). It comes up to date with photographs and videos from 2005-6, made when she was a fellow at the American Academy in Rome.

All together it’s a lot, too much really for one gallery to comfortably handle, even with a crunched chronological span. The great early “Family Pictures and Stories” is missing and some large series are edited down to an image or two.

Drastic editing is a problem with art as ambitious as Ms. Weems’s, for as often as not its full effect comes from a kind of cinematic accumulation and the variation of images and ideas. The resources of a museum would effortlessly finesse the problem, and transform a tight sampler survey into the expansive and immersive experience it deserves to be.

Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby

Calling all inventors, sculptors, costume makers, rabble rousers, tinkerers, bike geeks, artists and visionaries! We need you to build a Kinetic Sculpture! We are seeking entries and people to start teams for the 2008 Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby. The Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby (KKSD) is a design competition and parade celebrating art and human powered transit. In addition to celebrating, it aims to showcase the splendors of the Kensington area of Philadelphia. Kensington, Fishtown and Port Richmond are wonderful neighborhoods with many locally owned businesses, involved residents, and a creative atmosphere.

The KKSD was started in 2007 by the New Kensington Community Development Corporation (NKCDC) in conjunction with the East Kensington Neighbors Association's Trenton Avenue Arts Festival. In 2007 over 2000 people came to both events where local artists fashioned human propelled vehicles shaped like alien spaceships, 2 headed eagles, pirate ships and flying pigs; local bands played great music, local restaurants and brewers provided good eats and drinks. It was a downright good time that proved people aren't too busy to create something simply for the joy of it. Please check out our website for photos and more information. We will be hosting this event in MAY 17th, 2008

PLEASE spread the word to people who might enjoy such an opportunity. All inquires can be directed to project manager-

Jane Irish Exhibition at Locks Gallery

Jane Irish
Paintings for Winning Hearts and Minds

December 7, 2007 - January 12, 2008

Locks Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings by Jane Irish. Paintings for Winning Hearts and Minds will be on view December 7, 2007 through January 12, 2008. The exhibition will be accompanied by an illustrated catalog with an essay written by Carter Ratcliff. There will be a reception for the artist on Friday, December 7, 2007, from 5:30 to 7:30pm.

Jane Irish, a self-described "history painter" comments on the politics of war by creating juxtapositions between painterly vignettes and first person reflections. Her lush, Rococo interiors are intensely bright and seemingly sun-filled spaces. These ornate subjects are overlaid with white-lettered text describing the Vietnam veterans' experience creating stark visual contradictions. Carter Ratcliff writing in the catalog essay, "Pleasure and Protest: The Art of Jane Irish," describes "an artist with a tragic outlook, who sees our happiest, most pleasurable impulses intertwined with our most destructive ones."

Having organized a major protest exhibit in 2005, where artists commemorated the heroics of antiwar veterans drawing attention to the Iraq War, Irish subsequently researched a unique Philadelphia-based archive of imaginative work made by veterans and others, of plays, films, literature, posters and music, creating accounts of the Vietnam War. Such references as "Save Waller Street/Yellow Street" (a Vet center known for grass roots activism) and the poems of Vietnam veteran, David Connolly are the underlying narratives of her recent work.

Irish, a Philadelphia-based painter received her MFA from Queens College, CUNY and has exhibited in New York and Philadelphia since 1983. Irish created a large-scale installation for the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts–her first, museum solo exhibit titled History Lesson in 2002-03. This ambitious project was favorably reviewed in Art in America and the Philadelphia Inquirer. Irish previously exhibited at Locks in two group exhibits, Fete (2006) and Treasure Island (2000).

Locks Gallery is located at 600 Washington Square South in Philadelphia, PA. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 6pm. For additional information, please contact Locks Gallery at 215.629.1000 voice, 215.629.3868 fax, or info@locksgallery.com.

Francesca Pfister's (MFA Alum '07) Featured in New York Times article

MFA '07 Francesca Pfister's photography mentioned in the latest (11/04/07) issue of the New York Times

"Francesca Pfister of Philadelphia is showing photographs of pallets of pink bricks of insulation; plainly lighted, but acutely in focus, they have a raw industrial beauty. Her pictures narrow our field of vision so that we cannot see anything else. I like that quality, for it forces us to look carefully and to try to imagine a wider context. You can almost hear a forklift clamoring in the background." Benjamin Genocchio, Art Critic for The New York Times
