Philly artists are all over the place lately, and we’re having trouble getting out all the news of who is showing where. We missed the deadlines on getting a lot of the info up, but here’s a group that’s still fresh.
Chris Davison in New York
There’s still another week or two to catch the possessed Chris Davison in My Happy Demons. It runs to Aug. 10 at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery in New York.
Bobos in Chelsea
I’m totally excited about Bobo’s on 27th, the Bobo’s on 9th show at Foxy Productions (which is of course on 27th…in New York). Curated by Bobos (Phil Cote, Nick Payne and Drew Gillespie), the show includes works by themselves plus 12 others, including Lizzie Fitch, Jesse Greenberg, PIFAS, and more.
The tip came to me from John Caperton, curator at The Print Center.
Damian Weinkrantz and so many others in New York
And this in from the peripatetic Damian Weinkranz. He’s in Crocodile Tears, a show of small works by more than 50 artists at Giant Robot Gallery in New York, curated by Cheryl Kaminsky.
Taylor McKimens, Boobtoob. the cactus idea morphed into the cactuses that Cerealart produced. Picture borrowed from his web site
Also in the exhibit, people whose work has local ties–Philadelphia landmark Isaac Lin, Jen Corace (an Art Star regular), Taylor McKimens (at Cerealart) and more.
Media will range from painting to stitching to drawing to sculpture.
And brewing in Milwaukee, Jackie Hoving
Jackie Hoving is opening Friday, July 25, in the exhibit Hidden Exposure in Roberta’s hometown, Milwaukee, at Armoury Gallery. She wrote:
I want to let you know about a show I am in that opens this Friday. It is at a new Gallery in Milwaukee, WI that has a few great shows since it opened in May. Dan Schank, another Philadelphia artist showed there last month in a show called Landscapism. The show that I am in is called Hidden Expose.
If you’re there, stop by.

I am a bit curious about Taylor McKimens. I have loved his work for a while but don’t know much about him. He’s not from Philadelphia, is he? And it’s always nice to see new Mr. Davisons! The drawings in this show look especially good.

Hi, Austin. Taylor is in Brooklyn, and he has had work at Cerealart for at least a year. Here’s his website:

Every piece of see of Davison’s is more exciting, stronger–and weirder.
Anyone who tried the link of nicelle beauchene gallery when it didn’t work, it’s been fixed.
Hey Libby!
Thanks for all your artworld love…
I just wanted to make sure you knew that in addition to the Bobo’s show on 27th, there IS one on 9th Street in the Italian Market as well. There should be a closing party on August 1, but try to make it before then.
It’s open Mon-Fri 10-6 and it’s linked up via video conferencing with the concurrent exhibition at Foxy Production in New York.
It’s got work from all the same artists as the NY show with a bit of a different feel, more micro than macro–hope to see you there.

Cool that there is yet another gallery open in Milwaukee. Have always wondered what the Wis connection was.
If Roberta is back there November 8th, there is a MIAD fundraiser, Open Canvas, at the Dye building in the Historic Third Ward that would be worthwhile checking out. Lots of artwork created on the spot.
Hi, b.c., thanks. I didn’t know about that. Will try to make it!
And Jan, R. is the connection!!! I’m sure she’ll keep it in mind if she goes to Milwaukee.
Hi Jan, I probably won’t be in Milwaukee in November but thanks for the heads up. And yes, Milwaukee is my hometown and I love that its art scene is so hopping!
Well, if I ever meet Roberta out here, it is good to know that she will be able to direct me to a bubbler.
Hi Jan, I will gladly direct you to the nearest bubbler…although truly a free-standing bubbler, like they still have in Portland, doesn’t exist in Philadelphia (at least I haven’t found one). But I consider every public drinking fountain a bubbler no matter how inelegant it may be.
Now that is a bubbler.
Hi Roberta and Libby,
Thanks for posting about Jackie Hoving’s show at our gallery! She just sent us the link to your blog and mentioned that Roberta is from Milwaukee. It’s great to hear that people outside of Milwaukee are talking about our little gallery.
Thanks again, and your blog is fantastic, we’ll definitely be keeping track of it from now on.
