Honorary Doctorates of Fine Arts at Moore College of Art and Design
Can you believe this? We’re going to have a real opportunity to give a real kiss to Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, the guest speaker at Moore College of Art and Design graduation! Here’s a picture of him.
Mayor Michael Nutter, who we’ve been kissing in cyber space, will be close enough for a real smooch at Moore’s graduation.
We will be getting honorary Doctorates of Fine Arts and speaking second on the bill after hizzoner. We’re a little shocked by all this. But we’ll accept it with pleasure. Just call us Doc from now on. JK

South Philly Biennial Honored Guests and Speakers
Here we’re being feted for collaborating in an event — the South Philly Biennial — that celebrates collaboration. It sounds like it’s going to be fun actually with bands like Sweatheart and other performers and live karaoke! This will be in the Italian Market and we’ll be speaking briefly at 2 pm.

ID at Projects Gallery
postcard image for ID at Projects Gallery, opening June 6.
We curated a show, ID, of emerging artists for Projects Gallery that opens June 6 and runs through July. We’re very excited and think everyone in the show is great — of course! There will be lots of video and photography, some chocolate cake sculpture, a fish controlled by a plant and many more wonders…Hope to see you at the First Friday opening which includes a performance by one of the artists.

Summer Solstice Benefit for Philagrafika
This is really something new for us. We’ll be MC-ing the Summer Solstice Benefit for Philagrafika at Bahdee Bahdu‘s new location near the Crane in Kensington at 1522 N. American St. Got any good jokes anyone? We’re going to follow in the steps of Craig Ferguson and wing it–maybe in costume, who knows. JK

That is great! He is a cutie too!
Hello Libbie and Roberta,
I moved up to Philly recently, I know of your blog thru Anaba. One of you wrote a little about my animations at Scope in 2007. I use it as a positive review when I apply for art things. Any way, just thought I would say hello. Congratulations on your Doctorate. Drs. And you reminded me of the Life on Mars exhibition, I think I blocked it out of my head after finding out about it and being heart broken that an exhibition about Mars was so close and I wasn’t included [not that I expect to be included and that it was about what it means to be human (but that is what the fascination is about anyway)], it kills me, I love Mars. I am going to go see it, I have met Luca Buvoli, went to his talk at VCU. Great talk, very nice guy, he even forked out $60 for a painting.

Brilliant… sorry. I mean
Libby and…
This is very impressive! And well deserved! Now I have a couple suggestions for a new name for the blog…..
Dr(s) Artblog
or
Artblog, Phd.
OMG, Bruce, I loved those low-tech videos with their wooden frames!!! They cracked me up. Welcome to Philadelphia.
As for a new name, Roberta and I always wanted to do a piece we called “The Art Doctors,” but never got it together.
thanks for the great words of support, you all!!!
