Steely sentinels and rusted wreckage–as well as smooth, crisp forms–fill the gallery at the Philadelphia Sculpture Gym (PSG) throughout the month of January for its metal process show. This Knight Arts grantee consistently offers small but powerful shows of objects, which are typically made in its community workshop spaces. PSG’s facilities are available to artists […]

Lending new meaning to reuse and recycling, unmistakable Philadelphia public artist and cut paper master Joe Boruchow takes to the South Philadelphia Chapterhouse Cafe & Gallery for a special exhibit “14 Collages by Joe Boruchow” or “Constructed from Remnants.” Typically slicing paper very much consciously to construct black and white scenes of often very specific […]

If you’re looking to have a little bit of fun, Space 1026 may not be the place to go, because their show is more than just a little – it is actually “Deep Fun.” Whatever that term means or doesn’t mean (Deep house? Tons of fun?), the group of artists assembled by curator and exhibiting […]

We are constantly at the mercy of appliances, automobiles, phones, computers and even simpler tools such as screwdrivers and wedges.

At Seraphin Gallery, the exhibit on display in the main gallery entitled “Eons Beyond the Rib” highlights a number of female Philadelphia artists working mostly within the realms of abstraction. Although they are tied together by these loose associations, their work is really not all that similar and ranges from acrylic and graphite, to fabric, […]

Two shows at Locks Gallery – one retrospective and one of new works – are at odds with one another on all three floors of the spacious building. On the first and third floors is “Synecdoche” by Nancy Graves, a look back on the late artist’s career via large-scale paintings, drawings and a few sculptures. […]

Marginal Utility’s December-through-January exhibit, “Don’t Be A Dreamer Mr. Me” from artist Alexi Kukuljevic, is as self-conscious as it is dismissive, simultaneously pseudo-philosophical and absurd. At first glance, the messy forms strewn around the gallery appear simplistic, but upon reading Kukuljevic’s mostly unintelligible, stream-of-consciousness statement that accompanies the show, one discovers just how nihilistic they […]
