Fjord members Lindsay Chandler and A. J. Rombach on curating and Citywide – an artblog radio podcast
Lindsay Chandler and A. J. Rombach moved to Philadelphia after graduating from art school (Lindsay, from RISD, and A.J. from Boston University). They didn’t know each other before moving here but became friends through their network of artist friends. The two artists helped co-found Fjord space on Frankford Ave. last Spring, with a mission to curate other people’s art into the space and not their own. They have studio space in the building’s second floor and the gallery spans the entire first floor. We spoke with them on Feb. 20, at Fjord, where the show on the walls was Wandering ... More » »

With Doug Witmer’s thoughtful organizing and light curatorial touch, the show at University City Arts League leaves adequate room for Fjord Gallery member Lindsay Chandler’s loud, knitted, and woven pieces to converse formally with Ana B. Hernandez’s blanched, fragile arrangements of natural and artificial things. It’s fun to try to unravel Chandler’s making process. Her largest displayed work, the rambunctious “Untitled” (2011), is a roughshod weaving on magenta-painted board, in which whole skeins of yarn have been shoved gleefully through a warp of ...

In Celebration of the Barnes – Young artists at the new CSA Gallery
Within spitting distance of the new Barnes Foundation on the Parkway the new CSA Gallery on Callowhill Street is displaying a range of mixed-media art works by eight young artistic voices responding to the Barnes’ infusion of artistic energy into Philadelphia. In Celebration of the Barnes ranges from pieces incorporating rust and woven fabric to geometric and organic paintings. Throughout, the exuberant, fresh patterns contrast with unruly splatters and strokes of color. The passionate brush strokes and rich colors in many pieces here feel like they spring from a tradition that follows in the footsteps of artists like Goya, Seurat, and ... More » »

Lindsay Chandler’s landfills at Cafe Lift
Cafe Lift, a place with good food and coffee in the no-man’s-land two blocks west of the Vox building, also shows some art. Two recent shows there make me want to go back for more.
