Transforming Dilworth Plaza with Pulse
Philadelphia, PA (population 1.5 million) is home to Dilworth Plaza, which is adjacent to City Hall in William Penn’s original Center Square.
Pearl Street + DesignPhiladelphia PopUp Place
Philadelphia, PA (population 1.5 million) is home to the Chinatown North/Callowhill neighborhood; a rapidly changing neighborhood with an industrial past that contains part of the Reading Viaduct, which is planned for reuse as an elevated Rail Park, and a wide range of residents who reflect the diversity, disparity, and creative potential of the larger City.
We're happy to announce that Hooloon Gallery has selected Heavy Bubble for their web presence. We worked with owner and gallery director Michael Lieberman to get the site up and running. We also suggested the purchase an inexpensive image editing tool to make combining and cropping images easy.
We're thrilled to have Hooloon as one of the tribe.
This series of recent paintings is mostly inspired by the Czech composers Antonin Dvorak’s Symphony From the New World, and Bedrich Smetana’s My Fatherland symphonic poems. Jacqueline has also been inspired by the Chilean composers Juan Orrego-Salas (Sextet for B flat clarinet, string quartet & piano, Op. 38, movement 3. Scherzo) and Enrique Soro (Danza Fantástica.)
Stella Untalan will be showing six drawings in the seriessoundings from which the exhibition takes it’s name. These were the catalyst for a work she made specifically for the exhibition which measures over fifteen feet. Both Amy Ralston and Lesley Tao Mowat are contributing works that have been made in response to the drawing series.
Sol LeWitt's 1982 Wall Drawing #370: Ten Geometric Figures (including right triangle, cross, X, diamond) with three-inch parallel bands of lines in two directions will be installed at the Museum over a period of four weeks. The drawing (a detail of which is at left) will be on view in its complete state beginning on June 30, 2014, and will remain on view through September 7, 2015, when it will be painted over.
In this collection of paintings, artist JOAN MCNAMARA explores familiar places with a new intimacy. The surface is pierced as she dives into the water and swims through the reeds and rocks, COMING UP FOR AIR in the sun, then resuming the search. The essence of an image is revealed with a clear voice. Space is defined with a quick line, gesture, and the application of paint with large strokes of color. Repetition of circles, lines and planes are stretched overlapped, juggled and manipulated to create visual vibrations that are uniquely personal.
