A show about edgeplay with some drawings and some sculptures pushing boundaries past anything deemed appropriate- more info coming soon!

“19.5%” is a group exhibition curated by Chelsey Luster that showcases works

by Chris Friday, Chloe Pinero, Jessica S. Oler, Hysterical Men, Nikki D’Agostino, Lucy H.

West, Gabe Loredo, Annalise Yuri Murphy, Jacqueline White, Shelby Fleming, Autumn

Wallace, Alezendria Decking, Kelley Prevard, Alfiatul Nurdin, Francena Ottley, and

Gerald Brown. The works in this exhibition are responding to the increase of women in

congress as a result of the 2018 midterm elections and will be held at Little Berlin

Gallery.

The election results were a monumental moment for women in the U.S. and

symbolized a collective hope for more gender equality. Even though there are more

women than ever in congress, women only make up 19.5% of the total number of

elected representatives. This exhibition aims to remind viewers that the project of

representation remains incomplete and that a change in politics will have to be driven

by an articulation and visibility of new needs and experiences.

This exhibition creates a space for these women artists to challenge what

women empowerment can look like, vocalize their own political views, and to start

critical conversations as we enter 2020, the year of the presidential election.

The opening reception will take place on Friday, September 6th, 2019 and the

closing reception with an artist panel discussion will take place on Saturday, September

28th, 2019.

P.S. Outside of these dates the show will be open weekly on Sundays from 10-4pm

In our coziest nook of North Northern Liberties or South Fishtown or West Kensington, right off 2nd and Girard there opens an awesome show of custom builds, toy mods and more inspired by our favorite advertising icons throughout the decades. I’ll have a couple custom sculpts here alongside Mothership’s fantastic roster of artists.

Hope to see you there!

In lovely Germantown on Open Mic Thursday Our House Culture Center will behaving an opening to celebrate the creation of Vol.1 of the Call and Response Journal. Ge ready for a night of live poetry, music, art, food and additional refreshments!

The event is on August 8th, from 6-9pm at Our House Culture Center in Germantown. It's a lovely location with amazing lighting and walls. There are two concrete steps when entering the space, but there is an additional door that is more accessible on the side of the building if that is of concern.

Would a No by any other name smell as sweet?

 Shut-Out, Shut-In or Shut-Up? 

That big, hard wall sprung by dismissal creates so many wonderful possibilities! Where, oh where will that sharp left turn bring you? Before you Google what tools you need to split a second  for that decision, be aware that in April at 1816 HOUSE Gallery, Autumn will use experimental thought exercises assisted by paint and clay to lead a guided exploration of the prospects at How Could I Say ‘No’ to You? Come discover your ways here.

See Ya then and there!
