A short film documenting Rebecca Gilbert's work in the studio last year as she worked toward her solo exhibition at The Print Center this past winter and spring. The film, which was the project of Joseph Rose, also offers a sneak peek at some of my upcoming works. In addition to making films, Joseph also runs his own letterpress shop, Black Heart Letterpress. The film is eleven minutes long.

One of the newest to join our tribe Michelle Angela Ortiz is included in a pop up exhibition entitled Revolutionary. The pop up exhibition lasts six weeks.

The portraits are stills from a video interview of community member, Cruz. Cruz lives in Philadelphia and shared his experience with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and almost being deported. He spoke about his year long struggle with wearing a probation bracelet, being intimidated by ICE agents, and living in fear in what was once for him a city of hope. — Michelle Ortiz

The contemporary new work of Robert McNellis is a bold departure from his lit abstractions of the last year. Expanding from the previous structural solutions, he has turned to using surprising, anonymous images derived from photographs, or photographs derived from anonymous images, and combining these with precise, structures. The elements that make this possible are vague, almost anonymous, figuration and focused light.
