In cooperation with The Center for Emerging Visual Artists [CFEVA], 110 CHURCH Gallery and Heavy Bubble is pleased to present ROOTS, an Alumni Travel Grant Exhibition featuring Julia Blaukopf and Elizabeth Crisman, curated by Amie Potsic.
Check out this participatory, performance installation. An investigation of appearance and self.
In the artists words:
Leading with the question, what does it look like?, describing it is pivotal to formulating a response. It is The Brown Bear, a queer experience, the experience of ʻpacking vagʼ, of being hirsute. For us, it is personal. This kind of personal is political, and this salon provides a space for the political to be public.
Heavybubble is thrilled that Caroline Furr's show Floating World at 110 CHURCH has been reviewed by Edith Newhall at the Philadelphia Inquirer.

New work by Marjorie Grigonis and Katherine Kurtz at The Knapp Gallery.
Marjorie Grigonis presents her new mixed media work on found mylar, discarded by an architectural firm. The original drawings were varied and abstract, informing the finished pieces. She has allowed much of the underlying work remain.
Katherine Kurtz shows new paintings which continue an exploration of the process. Layers of paint applied, scratched, and manipulated with scratching tools.
Join artist Carol Wisker in conversation about her work and a glass of wine!
Bring your friends.

My inspiration is usually based on textiles and garments and adornments that are part of the ritual traditions of the African diaspora and people of color. – Betty Leacraft
