No more apologizing — the new business cards are here.

Our new business cards came today.

One side of the card is for Heavy Bubble and the other side is for our gallery in Old City. The photo was taken with the new iPhone 4S. Should have adjusted the white balance but we wanted to get a pic up.

Oh and that’s our new Google Voice number.

So next time you see us as for our card.

It was an energizing reception at our alternative space at 1616 Walnut Street. David Rose at the club is interested in buildng community and this was certainly a community night. Many of the subjects of the photos were in attendance and many of them met each other for the first time.

exhibitions

Special Philadelphia Open Studio Tour Performances by Jessica Hoffman at 110 CHURCH gallery

Consider the connection/disconnection between memory and discarded artifacts of communication. If old letters, photographs, or videos are connected to past events in our lives — what happens when they are discarded or lost? Hoffman uses obsessive or meditative actions to explore how we classify, organize, and recall the contexts and memories attached to these orphaned objects.

This exhibition comprises three works of conceptual and performance art: Slideshow, Talent Show, and Dear Mad, I really like your hair today! Love, Johnny

Danielle Bursk : Lay of the Land

exhibition

October 3 – October 5, 2011

Danielle Bursk’s work is primarily abstract and incremental, the accumulation of small lines creating abstract forms that are suggestive of objects. Creating these forms, Bursk references nests, networks, webs, traps, nets, and the interconnectivity of actions and associations.

She is showing with Amie Potsic’s photographs and large format graphite drawings and ink and varnish paintings by Gregory Brellochs.

14 October · 18:30 - 21:30

In her Featured Artist Project exhibition, Theme and Variation, Martin presents 4 sets of prints and artist’s books featuring letterpress printed codex and movable books as well as prints: Is That What You’re Wearing, Assorted Nightmares, There Were Clues but There Were No Answers, and Crime and Romance. These bodies of work, while arising from different sources, share the concept of multiple approaches to a single idea. This exhibition will be on view at the Center for Book Arts until December 3.

Suggested Admission: $10 / $5 members
