News Warren Angle died Friday We are sad to bring you the news that Warren Angle passed away on Friday, September 9 after a long battle with cancer.

Weekly Update — Vox V visions
Here’s my review of the show at the Weekly. Below is my copy with some pictures. “Vox V,” the national juried emerging art show, demonstrates that childhood memories, loss and sadness – themes at play in the art world for at least fifteen years — are still major obsessions.
People we love in places we love that are not Philadelphia!
If you’re on the road this summer, or hanging out far and wide, we have some tips here of Philadelphia artists who are all over the place. Italy to Cyprus by way of L.A.
Weekly Update – Emerging artist shows highlight sculpture
This week’s Weekly has my review of two emerging artist shows — Street Button and Isskustvo Transmagica Provinces Animamina. Below is the copy with some pictures. More photos at flicker (street button, isskustvo ). And here are Libby’s street button post and Libby’s Isskustvo post. Happy Happy Joy ToyNew sculpture emphasizes friendliness. Jesse Greenberg’s installation at Pageant sprawls across the gallery. That’s Kate Norton’s piece to the right of the doorway. Two great sculptural installations push the emerging artist shows at Pageant and Fleisher-Ollman into the desirable (but often unachievable) zone of art as serious fun. It’s too soon to ... More » »
Brave new world emerges at Pageant
Jesse Greenberg unloaded a bunch of these all over every horizontal surface in the gallery Isskustvo Transmagica Provinces Animanina may be a bewildering title for an art exhibit, but the objects in the show at Pageant Soloveev Gallery are equally bewildering–and wonderful. I felt like I was walking into a space filled with gifts.

Instead these ... More » »
MegaBinxes: Useful, comforting, fabulous
Jesse Greenberg, in a photo he sent me, demonstrating how to interact with one of his MegaBinxes. Jesse Greenberg invited me to his studio a while back and when I finally made it over there last month I found him busy preparing for his show at Bobo’s on 9th (til Oct. 19). Greenberg, a young artist (RISD BFA 2004) who’s been in Philadelphia for about a year, is part of the recent RISD influx that also includes Ryan Trecartin and Lizzie Fitch and company and the Bobo’s trio, Phil Cote, Drew Gillespie and Nick Payne.

Mexabinxes on 9th St. at Bobo’s
Jesse Greenberg, Megabinxes, posing at his studio at Philadelphia Society for Advanced Studies in Kensington. I’ve been meaning to tell you about my studio visit with Jesse Greenberg, a RISD grad and friend of Ryan Trecartin and company and of the Bobo’s on 9th crowd. They’re all here now here in Philadelphia–a little RISD tributary that’s run right into our Schuylkill. Greenberg, whose work you may have seen at FUEL last year, is making wonderful interactive sculptures that look like R2D2 with the logic board missing. I will tell you about the studio visit soon. But first, you must go ... More » »
