RESURRECT DEAD ON PLANET JUPiTER

Self Promotion

I’d like to take this opportunity to (not quite) shamelessly promote myself. First off, my place of employment, the Mur@l @rts Progr@m is holding a staff and instructor exhibition in their awkwardly named gallery: The Commonwe@lth Gallery in the Lincoln Financial Mur@l @rts Center at the Thom@s Eakins House (or CGLFMACTEH for short) With the expectation that 1 piece would be chosen for the 35 or so person show, staff and art instructors were invited to submit 3 pieces for consideration. In total there are 46 items in the show.

I made the cut and 2 photographs were chosen. I pained for a couple weeks trying to figure out which singular pieces I wanted to submit. Without the ability to put together a theme, how do you pick? In the end, what was chosen was a personal favorite of mine and a personal favorite of a friend. It’s not that I don’t like the second image, but its ascension to the wall was sort of improbable. Sort of like Michael Nutter’s mayoral run, it hung in there on the second or third tier, then somehow beat out everything else in the end. The 2 chosen photos are actually complementary. They’re both from Philly. They’re both street shots. They’re both flighty.

If you can’t make it in, here are the 2, 12×18 prints hanging from now through August 24th at the CGLFMACTEH.

In other news, check out my visual influence over at Swarthmore College’s Theater Department website. Their printed, promotional material is also heavy on my images. I’ve been working with Swarthmore for about a year and have started to build a nice catalog with them.

That’s all for now.
