Philly Te Ama! Video Series Highlights the work of Michelle Angela Ortiz.

HBHQ (Heavy Bubble Headquarters) is at 1241 Carpenter Street. We have some of the most amazing neighbors. One of them is Michelle Angela Ortiz, she is a South Philadelphia native and part of our wonderful community at 1241. We first met her at the opening of El Viaje, created with Nora Hiriart Litz. As a visual artist she seeks to capture lost legacies, personal stories and silenced voices in her work.

Discovering and Remembering: Toshiko Takaezu

Toshiko Takaezu, one of the most influential and world-renowned ceramic artists, died last week at the age of 88. Takaezu taught for 25 years at Princeton University, where she was a mentor who shaped the lives of generations of artists. She was known for her round forms, which often incorporated an element of sound.
- from American Craft Magazine, Elizabeth Ryan

Toshiko Takaezu died last week; she made magnificent work all her life. It was a long and artful life. We thank her.

Painted Wooden Works

FEBRUARY 26 - APRIL 9, 2011

What would these pieces of wood be without their accentuated and artificial divisions created by their saturated color fields? We don't even want to hazard a guess.
