"I can't believe I fuckin' turned into a glass of orange juice, man," he says. "At least I'm high in Vitamin C, man. Fuck man, I hope I'm pulp-free, because otherwise that'd just be gross. It's going to be tricky making it through life as a glass of orange juice, man."

A Room - A Loom
COPY invites all interested parties...
COME AND WEAVE!
June 5th - 29, 2009
The gallery has been converted into a giant loom. It stretches from one wall to the other and spans corner-to-corner. no space for you to move without becoming part of this huge apparatus.
The loom itself is really simple, and anyone can be taught to to use it in about 5 minutes.
You are invited to gather together the material of your choice and to contribute to the weaving of this collaborative textile.
A Room-A Loom began as a site-specific weaving experiment by Julia Sherman at workspace, a small project space in East L.A. Materials used thus far in the L.A. loom have included weeds, old clothing, Halloween costumes, computer cables, bubble wrap, plastic bags, John Baldessari's toilet paper, Sheep Dog fur, raw wool, yarn, pants, jeans, blankets, burlap sacks, palm fronds, pom-poms and more. In mid-June workspace will host an reception to exhibit their final piece.
Copy is the first of several project spaces spanning the country and beyond to undertake A Room - A Loom. Eventually, there will be a group exhibition with all of the weavings from the various participating spaces.
Bring something to weave on First Friday, or check out the loom and come later in the month. I will have several events, and also will be around all the time so contact me by email or phone to make an appointment.

Times can be flexible to accommodate your schedule.

Scenariette
June 5 – 29, 2009
Opening Reception Friday June 5th from 6-9 pm
Possible Projects announces Scenariette, an all video show featuring the work of Rob Carter, David Dunn, Jean Alexander Frater and Letha Wilson. Projected sequentially on a single wall the videos are individually privileged the full attention of the space.
While repeating and varying seemingly simple actions, each artist creates small cycles within each video that hold our attention (Carter’s cutting and folding paper, Dunn’s hand unrelentingly opening doors, Frater’s potentially endlessly-balanced paper, and Wilson’s arrangement on a walk in the woods) in the form of meditative gestures; some reach conclusions while others remain forever unresolved. The four works, though different, display similar themes. Ideas of control vs. free will, games vs. labor, and anticipations vs. expectations are formed through each small scenario.
Rob Carter’s “Foobel” (2005) obsesses over the building and subsequent rebuilding of stadiums to create a mega-stadium. Carter lives and works in New York City and is currently a recipient of a Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation studio.
David Dunn’s “Doors” (2008) offers an unending journey on what is beyond each decision. Dunn lives and works in Philadelphia, PA and recently had a solo show at Copy Gallery in March.
Jean Alexander Frater’s “Oh…this could go on forever!” (2005) suggests a tension between a humanly-controlled scenario versus the free will of nature. Frater lives and works in Cleveland, OH and Chicago, IL. Her work has been shown at the Wexner Center for Arts and the Kulturhuset in Stockholm
Letha Wilson’s “16 Possibilities for an 8 Minute Walk, Fort Hill, Peekskill (Historical)” (2006) imposes an organically permutated structure over a simple nature walk. Wilson lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She just had a solo show at the Buffalo Arts Studio and was awarded a fellowship to the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture.
Possible Projects is open on Mondays from 11-6 pm or by appointment.

For Immediate Release
Shadow's Space
1248 N Front Street (above KFN)
Philadelphia, PA 19122
+++ Opening Wednesday March 18, 2009, 8-10 PM
Kung Fu Necktie, a new nightlife entertainment venue opened in Fishtown for the local arts community announces the grand opening of a new gallery for the Philadelphia art scene- Shadow’s Space. Operating in tandem with Kung Fu Necktie’s ongoing program of live music, performance and DJ events, Shadow’s Space will be an alternative venue for regional, national and contemporary art.
The premier exhibition at Shadow’s Space, Seriously Stupididity, curated by two of Philly’s most beloved aesthetic savants Adam Wallacavage and Damian Weinkrantz, features a veritable lexicon of emerging and established artists who have come to define this town as one of the great bastions of cultural production in America today.
A counterpoint of the divergent tendencies that make contemporary art simultaneously brilliant and brutal, Seriously Stupid brings together a broad range of visual provocateurs from the multivarious fields of comics, conceptualism, painting, sculpture and skate culture. By contrasting and collapsing the problematic boundaries by which we separate the intellectual and intentionally moronic tendencies inherent in picture-making today, we understand that both are legitimate responses to the complexities of our modern world, and each offers some quotient of sympathy and understanding for the dysfunction of our collapsing empire. For the super-smart and inebriate alike, this is art to get in a brawl over for no other reason than the make-up sex after will be the best you ever had.
