In conjunction with the 2010 Members’ Juried exhibition, Guest Juror
and Gretchen Hupfel Distinguished Lecturer Roberta Fallon will explore
the exhibition theme which examines the possibilities of, experimentations
on, and flirtations with what is NEW. Roberta Fallon is a Philadelphia-based
artist and critic whose Artblog was twice named one of the top art blogs
by Art in America. Fallon writes, “The NEW signals something that
is fresh and risk-taking, perhaps not completely worked out yet but forward-moving.”
In an art age rife with appropriation, references, as well as exploded
and satirized notions of what is novel, the NEW is about fresh courage,
bold analysis, burning curiosity, and stubborn will to chart new territory.

Venue: Mary Fendrich Hulman Gallery
Wes Janz, Associate Professor of Architecture from Ball State University,
follows a practice directed by a special concern for no and low-cost housing
solutions for an international population. Mr. Janz travels in the United
States and across the globe with students and other architects to help
build shelters; find inspiration through indigenous techniques and materials;
and consider the ingenious solutions devised out of necessity by those
in desperate situations caused by cataclysm and catastrophe.
Comprised of large scale installations and models by Janz and other like-minded
architects (and aspiring architects), writings about the development of
housing, photographs and related works of art including select works from
the Swope collection, this exhibition aspires to present a multifaceted
perspective on the development of residences for an ever-changing world.
Mr. Janz was the recipient of the Ball State University’s Outstanding
Teaching Award in 2006; an Indiana arts Commission, Individual Arts Project
Grant in 2007; and was a finalist for the Curry Stone Design Prize in
2008 which is awarded to breakthrough projects that have the “power
and potential to improve our lives and the world we live in.”

I
Don't Watch the Internet
Opening reception
Thursday, December 3, 2009
6-9pm Fleisher/Ollman
is pleased to present I Don't Watch the Internet, the gallery's 7th annual
survey of Philadelphia artists.
The first exhibition in this series, The New Acropolis, opened in late
2003 and served to "highlight young and unrepresented talent."
The works that were in the original show were described by the curators
as "defin[ing] or counter[ing] vernacular visual culture through
intuitive practice. The artists [we]re responding to their city's intimate
scale and vibrant art scene abundant in collaboration, mutual respect,
and awareness."
Some combination of "early career" and "working from the
margins" has guided Fleisher/Ollman's selections throughout the years,
though the landscape of the Philadelphia art scene has changed fairly
dramatically from the New Acropolis days, making each of these dictates
ideal, but moving targets. With the proliferation of new exhibition venues
and access to numerous other opportunities, many of the artists in this
show have shown in one or many of the city's non-profit galleries, artist-run
spaces or even living room venues. Others, however, have never exhibited
in Philadelphia before and we are happy to give you a first look.
All of the work is tied together, simply by the fact, that we at the gallery
find it to be engaging, relevant, representative of art being made in
this city and in line with the gallery's long-standing aesthetic interests.
Other than that, it is a free-for-all, a raucous visual experience, a
grab bag of talent and the chance for a quick, if momentary break, from
all that do-it-yourselfing.
Radical Computer Music
Thursday, December 3 at 6:30 pm
Radical Computer Music is a performance and talk by Goodiepal, a renowned
yet controversial Scandinavian electronic musician and professor of music
composition. Goodiepal is currently touring the states, spreading his
new theories.

Artists
in the Neighbourhood Scheme IV: Heartstrings
Print Exhibition 2009 by the Hong Kong Graphics Society
The Hong Kong Graphics Society, which was established in 1976, has a long
history in Hong Kong. There are now about 30 members and the majority
of them received training in art and printmaking in Hong Kong or Mainland
China, U.K., U.S.A., Canada and Australia. Some members have gained international
awards. Their print works were selected by the Contemporary Hong Kong
Art Biennial Exhibition, the National Print Exhibitions of China, and
other important international print exhibitions. In the past 33 years,
the Society has introduced printmaking to the general public through activities
like exhibitions, talks, artist-in-residence programmes and printmaking
demonstrations. The Society has also held exchange exhibitions together
with graphic art organisations of Taiwan, Malaysia and Chinese cities
including Shanghai, Jiangsu, Heilongjiang and Anhui in order to broaden
the creative horizons of local graphic artists and promote printmaking
creation and art exchange.
This exhibition features the works of 26 members of the Society, including
the senior, the active and the budding printmaking artists. Besides the
four main types of print like lithography, intaglio, relief, and serigraphy,
the exhibits also include mixed media, digital prints and gum bichromate
prints. This exhibition is a large showcase of the wonderful works by
the Society members.
In addition to the exhibition, members of the Society has organised various
education activities which include guided tours, talk and printmaking
demonstration. In hope of introducing this distinctive graphic art to
the public, a video on the development of the Society and the demonstration
of various printmaking skills will be played at both exhibition venues.
Supported by The Link Management Limited, a selection of the exhibits
shown at the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre continue to be displayed at
the Homantin Plaza. We hope that the works of local artists can reach
audiences from every district and achieve our goal of bringing art into
the community.

MobArt
Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Transcendence, a group exhibition
featuring three Hong Kong-based female artists — Cornelia Erdmann,
Sarah Koljonen and Man Fung-yi. This is MobArt's inaugural presentation
and will be held at The Drawing Room from 30th April through September,
2009.
The exhibition brings together three artists from a variety of cultural
backgrounds who currently live and work in Hong Kong. The 17 selected
pieces in the show unveil the artists' endeavor to rise beyond the limits
of nature and human experience. Through a range of media and forms, they
aspire to transport the viewer to a moment of transcendence — a
state of elevation above the presumed and accepted truth towards the unknowable
and immeasurable. This mutual quest to supersede laws of the material
universe is embodied in Man Fung-yi's flowing dresses woven from cold
hard metal; in Cornelia Erdmann's silhouettes of butterflies fluttering
out of mirrors; and in Sarah Koljonen's meticulous hand-made prints exploring
the uncertainties and embedded secrets within nature. Together, they transform
The Drawing Room into somewhere more than a place to entertain guests
with art and cuisine. The space metamorphoses into a sanctuary where one
can ponder with the artists on traditions, spirituality and the life and
death of beings, moments and places.
