In the main space, Wexler Gallery presents “NEOTERIC MATTER 2: New Studio Jewelry,” a juried exhibition curated by Daniella Kerner, Associate Professor at Tyler School of Art, Temple University. Show runs May 1 – June 27, 2009. An Opening Reception will take place on First Friday, May 1st from 5 – 8pm. Coinciding with the 2009 Society of North American Goldsmith's Conference in Philadelphia, PA (May 20-23, 2009), the group exhibition will feature national and international artists whose work pushes the boundary of their craft beyond decoration using new media and digital technology.
According to Kerner; “Jewelry as an art form for creative, personal, and artistic expression has served as documentation for all civilizations. Jewelry demonstrates the tools, technologies, and materials of the times. (It) describes attitudes and values of mankind’s respective social systems and cultures.”
The exhibition’s second incarnation, “NEOTERIC MATTER 2” will focus on work that is primarily comprised of 21st century materials or late 20th century materials. The show will also examine new processes that have significantly influenced the field of jewelry. A few examples of new materials include: polymers, materials used in rapid proto-typing, electronics, Precious Metal Clay, new metal alloys, and composite materials.

The Philadelphia Institute for Advanced Studies (www.pifas.net) purports to be a reeducation center that exfoliates creativity through the contribution of cultural material. This educational mission is materialized once one considers the 30 plus studio artists practicing under the institution’s roof, as well its methods of “acoustic research” in the form of lectures and performances. This ongoing quest to channel the multiple potentialities of reeducation will navigate a thematic experiment entitled: “The P.I.F.A.S. Towne Project” that will run from July 10th-31st. Roughly defined, this study will test the fields of alternative distribution and marketing practices by transforming artist studios into a network of artist-run cultural and commercial spaces. Beyond this, common space at the Institute will be donated to local artists for an experimental exercise called: “The Queue.” Using the kiosk as its standard-bearer for this project, artists will be given the opportunity to create stations where objects/ideas can be sold or exchanged in an environment that encourages performance.
P.I.F.A.S. is currently accepting submissions from the community of Craigslist to create Kiosks. Of the candidates, two artists will be chosen. A formal mission statement should be sent to: jonathansantoro2000@gmail.com by June 1st.

| HISK - Higher Institute for Fine Arts Advanced Studies & Practice-based Research in Visual Arts The Higher Institute for Fine Arts (HISK) organizes postgraduate education in Flanders in the field of the audiovisual and visual arts. It provides approximately twenty-five young artists from Belgium and abroad with a studio of their own for the duration of two years along with specific, tailor-made guidance. At the HISK, emphasis lies mainly on individual practice with an international focus. The visiting lecturers are crucial. Artists, curators, critics and theoreticians pay individual studio visits at regular intervals. There are also frequent visits to significant art events and lectures, seminars and workshops are provided. The HISK also offers technical facilities and production opportunities. Thanks to the unique HISK concept, the participants are given every opportunity to invest in critical research of their work in order to situate it within a broader artistic, cultural and societal context. At the end of the two-year working period, the participant receives a certificate of 'Laureate of the HISK'. The HISK is officially recognized as Higher Institute and is financed by the Flemish Community - Ministry of Education and supported by the City of Ghent. Since 1997, 148 laureates have graduated from the HISK. The largest part of them are currently building up a successful professional career in the Belgian and international art world. In 2009, the candidate-laureates working at the HISK come from Canada, Japan, Ethiopia, South Africa, Israel, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Portugal, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. An international jury selected them from more than a hundred candidates. Applications Artists who have already obtained a Masters degree in Fine Art or an equivalent qualification are eligible to apply to the HISK. Exceptions can be made for applicants who do not have a Post Graduate degree in Fine Art but display a high level of development, motivation and artistic affinity. This is decided on the basis of an interview in which an applicant's experience, professional or otherwise, is discussed. A diverse group of artists who are able to work together as a community are chosen each year. All young practitioners selected for the program are believed to share a common potential for growth. The admission committee is composed of international visiting lecturers from a variety of backgrounds. They make a pre-selection from the submitted portfolios and the candidates who make it through are invited for an interview regarding their motivations and expectations. After a period of evaluation and careful consideration, the committee then makes a decision as to whether the applicant is suitable. The conceptual and visual qualities in the works submitted by applicants are considered to be more important than style, material or technique. Participants are expected to have a strong commitment to conducting critical research within their respective fields of interest. At the same time, they should aim towards locating their practice within a broader perspective of social and cultural environments. Candidates are also expected to make a contribution to the activities of the HISK as a whole. This interaction is seen to be an important forum of exchange and development. Basic criteria for assessment are: - The quality of the submitted work - Evidence of a potential to explore various aesthetic possibilities - The degree to which the work distinguishes itself from overt influences - The coherence of the body of work - The social/political relevance of the work - The quality of presentation in the submitted portfolio (both text and images) - Motivation for choosing the HISK - Willingness to be involved in the HISK programme and ability to set aside time for this - Ability to speak about your work and thinking around it - The potential to grow within the HISK programme, both on an artistic and a personal level - Evidence of sufficient maturity to be able to work independently Each year between 12 and 14 candidate laureates are admitted.

Applicants who have not been selected can collect their documents at the HISK's administration office on conclusion of the admission procedure.

SPRING 2010 MFA SHOWS NOT TO BE HELD IN TEMPLE GALLERY

Date: May 6, 2009
To: Tyler Chairs, Area Heads, Graduate Committee Members and all Second Year MFA Students
From: Hester Stinnett
Vice Dean and Graduate Program Director
Re: MFA Thesis Shows Spring 2010
During the spring 2010 semester the Temple Gallery will host 2 very important exhibitions. The semester will begin with the Philagrafika 2010 exhibition “The Graphic Unconscious” and at the end of the semester the Jack Wolgin International Competition in the Fine Arts will be on display. Unfortunately there is not enough time to hold our MFA thesis shows in the Temple Gallery during the spring semester. Please note that this is a one-time situation. We plan to return to scheduling the MFA shows in the Temple Gallery as a regular feature of our spring schedule.
We have been able to reserve the Ice Box at the Crane building from May 1-15 for a large MFA group exhibition. Today the graduate committee met and discussed several options regarding how to structure the MFA shows in this venue. In the fall Sheryl Conkelton will invite a faculty member and a student from each MFA studio area to participate in the planning of this group show with the exhibitions staff. We want to make this unique opportunity the best possible showcase for our students. All 2nd year MFA students will be invited to participate. As has always been the case individual MFA students may also seek off campus venues on their own for one-person shows. Individual areas will plan how they would like to handle the thesis review committees. The amount of work that students will be able to submit to the group exhibition will be limited; therefore committees may want to meet individually with students in advance of the group show for their reviews.
By May 29 please let Sheryl know what faculty member and MFA student from each studio area will attend the exhibition planning session in the fall.

Rebekah Templeton Contemporary Art is pleased to announce Bubble and Squeak, a group exhibition highlighting the work of first year Master of Fine Arts students Fritz Horstman, Jennifer Jones-O’Neil, Jiwan Lee, Heather Ramsdale and Leigh Van Duzer, some of the Mid-Atlantic region’s most promising emerging artists. The title references a classic English dish that is made from leftovers and scraps.
Fritz Horstman uses discarded shipping crates to form a dialogue about the human perception of nature. By cutting out a hole, in which the viewer is enticed to place their head, Horstman illuminates an interior space full of images of stars. Using elements of camera obscura, Horstman envelopes the viewer in a private world of light and image.
Jennifer Jones-O’Neil is a photographer exploring ideas of abstraction, flattening and altering by using color fields that are created analogously and digitally. Infused with elements of the absurd, Jones-O’Neil’s photographs highlight the alienation we can experience from consistently being bombarded with mass amounts of information.
Jiwan Lee’s carbon paper drawings jumble multiple images together to create a mass of circumstances and marks. Lee’s fragments are mashed together giving the drawing the power to create something new and unpredictable in the mind of the viewer and outside the complete control of the artist.
Using common construction materials, Heather Ramsdale’s work challenges our notions of our private spaces. Ramsdale inverts the organization of domesticity by reorganizing the materials we encounter during everyday life, exposing the space within structures.
Leigh Van Duzer’s photographs detail an interior space rich with narrative and engorged with structural decay. Her photographs deal with the detritus of human activity. Van Duzer’s recent series involves photographing a bankrupt video store as a ‘container of history’.
Bubble and Squeak opens on Thursday, May 14, 2009 with an opening reception from 6-9 pm. The exhibition includes drawing, photography, sculpture and installation. The show closes on Saturday, June 20, 2009.

| "1:5:25" |
Project Website: http://slought.org/content/11421/
Slought Foundation is pleased to announce the exhibition “1:5:25” from May 15-June 15, 2009, part of the annual Emergent Perspectives series showcasing new work by Philadelphia-based artists and architects. The opening reception will take place at Slought Foundation on Friday, May 15, 2009, from 6:30-8:30pm.
The exhibition has been curated by Osvaldo Romberg, in collaboration with five emergent artists and architects -- Srdjan Jovanovic Weiss, Asher Barkley, David Romberg, Blaine Siegel, and Constantina Zavitsanos. The generative principle for the exhibition has been the decentralization of the curatorial process, whereby the curator selected five additional curators to broaden the scope of the selection, without interference.
The video works featured in the exhibition are grouped according to five thematic categories: architecture, language, sex, the body, and technology. The exhibition features work by Robert Trempe, Jenny Sabin + Peter Lloyd Jones, Hollwichkushner, Ferda Kolatan + Erich Schoeneberger (su11), Normal Architecture Office, Jahje Bath, Jaegwon Cho, Asher Barkley, Didier Clain, Mariya Dimov, Elliott Hasiuk, Shanjana Mahmud, J Makary, Fay Morgan, Lisa Marie Patzer, David Romberg, Blaine Siegel, Robert Scobey, Aliza Shvarts, Jenny Thwing, Mike Treffehn, Naotomo Umewaka, Brent Wahl, Anastasia M Wong, and Vladimir Zykov.

Friends,
In light of last week’s Junto discussion surrounding art criticism in Philadelphia Libby and Roberta have graciously offered me a place on the artblog to gather, edit, and post theoretical writing. I am not an art historian, just an enthusiastic and interested member of the community looking to improve the level of art discourse in our city (and beyond). If the publishers, magazines, and schools are not generating satisfactory pieces of contemporary art philosophy, we will do it ourselves. My hope is that academic discourse can find a foothold along side this vast archive of reviews.
This is an open invitation for ongoing submissions of essays, theses, interviews, and conversations regarding the themes relevant to work currently being created and shown. The goal is to create context. We can better define the space we occupy in the larger art world and develop a vocabulary with which we can discuss each other’s work, advancing our practice.
These thoughts will be held in a new category on the blog called “theoretically,” operating as an autonomous subset of the blog’s content. With the support of contributions and commentary we can theoretically make some progress toward an illuminated Philadelphia.
Please submit your critical writings or inquiries to rickybanister [at] gmail [dot] com.
Thank you in advance,
Rick Banister

Gimme Shelter is the culmination of a semester-long animal shelter building project for several classes of sculpture students at Moore College of Art & Design, in which they built birdhouses, bat houses, sculpture houses, and shelter-inspired wearables. The full proceeds from the sale of these objects will go directly to Women Against Abuse. Work will be sensibly priced, from $10. The women of Moore who lovingly created these sculptures hope that you will be able to take time out of your busy Friday to visit the park, see some art, and perhaps help a good cause by buying a birdhouse (or other shelter) that you adore.
