Community Reception: Anne Saint Peter, Wall of Women

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.

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

Monday, October 3, 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.
