"The Landscape Within" Featuring Career Development Program Fellows James B. Abbott, Sean O'Neil and Kara Rennert
The Center for Emerging Visual Artists 1521 Locust Street, Lower Level, Philadelphia, PA 19102
Opening Reception: Thursday, October 29, 5-7pm. The Landscape Within reveals the human psyche by investigating its physicality, powers of recollection, and impression on the environment. In his Cape Cod photographs, James B. Abbott makes two-dimensional interpretations of a highly transitory three-dimensional record of change in the landscape - that which is naturally occurring and that which has been inflicted by human presence. Kara Rennert wants the viewer to be caught in the tension between intimacy and estrangement, both in a psychological connection to her ceramic sculptures and under a physical spell of the sensuous, strange, and beautiful. In his paintings, Sean O’Neil rebuilds fragments of images exploring the disconnect that exists between recollection and reality.

Opening Reception: Thursday, August 27th 5:00 - 7:00 pm.

Interested in creating an imaginary space where unity among nature and humanity can exist, Keiko Miyamori’s birdcage installation addresses the dichotomy of captivity and freedom. Paul Rider’s photographic still lifes offer a poetic meditation on the philosophy of chance, a respectful exploration of our cultural debris, and an elegant visual play on landscapes of reality and hope.

The Center for Emerging Visual Artists is pleased to present "Fictive Homelands" a Spotlight Exhibition of work by John Karpinski and Serena Perrone. "This time we have to get there," they had decided. Bags surrounded their feet, passports a quick draw from pocket to counter. A proposal to buy a map - the type of map that documents a wasteland between cartoons of historic and favorite sites - killed everything. Because no map existed for their favorite place, at least no map that could be purchased at an airport news stand. They would not dare say it but they had no idea where "there" existed. They just knew that it was the someplace that made them feel complete. Where ever it was.

Opening Reception: Thursday, January 29th from 5:30 - 7:30 pm. Darla Jackson's sculpture is an exploration of the duality of emotions. Through the use of symbolism and body language, she creates personifications of these emotions that are dark and at the same time humorous. Anne Canfield's imagery is founded out of two worlds - one real and one imagined - meeting somewhere in between. Her current series, Territorial, explores a sense of vulnerability in areas of life otherwise taken for granted as they shift from safe space to uncertain space with the imposing tension of an insecure global world.

Urban Organic
Projects Gallery, 629 N. 2nd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19123, (267) 303-9652, www.projectsgallery.com
Opening Reception: Friday, January 9th from 6:00 - 9:00 pm. Urban Organic presents the work of eight artists who are affiliated with both the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program and the Center for Emerging Visual Artists, two organizations dedicated to providing artists with opportunities to earn a living from their art and the necessary tools to do so. With both organizations celebrating their 25th anniversary during 2008-2009, a joint exhibition was a natural way to highlight the similarities that exist between them and the artists they support. Each organization has grown from a grassroots operation founded by a passionate and resolute individual to become a vital part of the region's thriving visual arts community.
The works of art selected for this exhibition reveal a link between the urban and the natural worlds, a contradiction that is integral to life in any city. Artists are particularly aware of this dichotomy as they strive to find inspiration from the environment while being keenly aware of the influence of the metropolitan areas in which many of them live and work. Urban Organic features work by Joseph Brenman, Vincent Desiderio, James Dupree, Jane Golden, Sidney Goodman, Qimin Liu, Pedro Ospina and Josette Urso.

Reception: Thursday, January 8th from 5:30 - 7:30 pm. Intrigued by both the unfamiliar and the ordinary, Julia Blaukopf’s work centers on new ways of depicting foreign places. Blurring the lines between fine art and documentary, she focuses on workers, farmers, families, artisans and other emblems that compose the everyday. Elizabeth Crisman juxtaposes the human skeletal structure in life-size black and white photographs as well as sculptural configurations using transparencies. Influenced by hominid fossils, these images are an examination on the passage of time and the human condition.

Two Threads
The Felicity R. (Bebe) Benoliel Gallery, The Center for Emerging Visual Artists, 237 S. 18th Street, The Barclay, Suite 3A, Philadelphia, PA 19103
Opening Reception: Thursday, November 6, 5:30 - 7:30 pm. The Center for Emerging Visual Artists is pleased to present a Spotlight Exhibition: Caleb Nussear and Tara O’Brien Two Threads. Painter and installation artist Caleb Nussear examines the natural landscape within the framework of abstraction. Nussear interweaves ideas from visual art and scientific thought: two realms that rarely seem to coexist. Tara O’Brien uses the form of the book as an intimate medium for questioning life, its process, self-reliance, and fate. She combines symbols such as shells, thread and roots into unconventional narratives of structure, image and/or text. Gallery Hours are Monday - Friday from 10am - 4pm.

Conservation for Artists- September 18th at 5:30
The Center for Emerging Visual Artists, 237 South 18th Street, 3A
Art is not static. The physical composition of a piece in any medium in conjunction with its age and use will affect its appearance and longevity. All artist materials—a simple piece of paper or the glue used to assemble a complex collage—have unique chemical compositions with inherent rates of deterioration. The integration of multiple materials produces chemical interactions and a spate of preservation challenges. The life of a piece is further affected by housing (framing), transportation, exhibition techniques and duration, and exposure to various environmental conditions. An open discussion with paper conservator and collection manager Susan L. Duhl, paintings conservator Steven Erisoty, and objects conservator Julie Baker will shed light on these issues. Please come with specific questions about your working styles and media. More information about all three speakers can be found at www.ArtConservatorsAlliance.com. Each session begins at 5:30pm and will take place at The Center for Emerging Visual Artists (The Barclay, 237 South 18th Street, Suite 3A, Philadelphia PA). Additional 200/2009 Direct Dialogue topics include: Expanding Your Audience Through Publishing, Fiscal Sponsorship for Artists, Your Art as a Small Business, Marketing Yourself Through the Internet, Creating Opportunities through Collaborations and Cooperatives, Marketing Yourself to the Press, and The Basics of Arts Fairs.. The program fee is $12.00 per session or $90.00 for the 2007-2008 Season. To reserve a seat, please call (215) 546-7775 x11 or email Genevieve@cfeva.org. Please note: Seating is limited.

Ghosts and Shadows
The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education’s Second Site, corner of Port Royal Ave and Hagy’s Mill Rd, Philadelphia.
Presented in Partnership by The Center for Emerging Visual Artists and
The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education: Ghosts and Shadows, Guest Curated by Warren Angle. Outdoor art installations by CFEVA Career Development Program Fellows Jennifer Chapman, Keiko Miyamori, Kara Rennert and Marisha Simons. Jennifer Chapman, Keiko Miyamori, Kara Rennert, and Marisha Simons were chosen to produce site specific installations because of their poetic sense of place. Each artist has set up a dialogue with the natural and human constructed landscape at the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education’s Second Site location. They have mined specific references to place and sensations of past and present using audio as well as visual components in the construction of their works. On Saturday, September 6th, there will be a Free Round Trip Shuttle leaving Ivy Ridge Station (R6 Train) at 3 pm and returning to the station at 5 pm.

Far Away From The Beginning: A departure from childhood idealism
Leonard Pearlstein Gallery, Drexel University, Nesbitt Hall, 33rd and Market Streets, Philadelphia, PA
In cooperation with the Center for Emerging Visual Artists, The Leonard Pearlstein Gallery at Drexel University is proud to present Far Away from the Beginning: A Departure from Childhood Idealism, curated by Tara Caton. Exhibiting Career Development Program Fellows include: Anne Canfield, Darla Jackson, Joelle Jensen, John Karpinski, Jedediah Morfit, Caleb Nussear, Scott Pellnat, Peter Prusinowski, Serena Perrone, Matthew Neff, and Cecelia Rembert. The artwork in this exhibition examines a departure from the idealism of childhood. Once we outgrow the comfort of our youth, we are exposed to the complex reality of adulthood. Life experiences alter our childhood memories creating a complex fantasy world of idealism and darkness. These artists look back on their early years to regain a sense of hope but can’t escape the melancholy of age. Distanced from the toys, adventures, and dreams of our past, we are all far away from the beginning.

The Felicity R. (Bebe) Benoliel Gallery, The Center for Emerging Visual Artists, 237 South 18th Street, The Barclay, Suite 3A, Philadelphia, PA 19103
The Center for Emerging Visual Artists is pleased to present this Spotlight Exhibition: Jedediah Morfit’s work explores irresistible contemporary sculptural taboos including craft, religion, and narrative. His sculpted plates are as much a celebration of the pleasures of carving and storytelling as they are an examination of the problem of creating meaningful narratives in disjointed times. Joelle Jensen presents quiet, thoughtful and compelling views of lives left behind. The photographs of her parents’ home are beautiful, emotional and often humorous, looking almost scientifically at the spaces and emotional connections made between what was their life and the passage of time.

Michael Froio: Relic
The Felicity R. (Bebe) Benoliel Gallery, The Center for Emerging Visual Artists, 237 South 18th Street, The Barclay, Suite 3A, Philadelphia, PA 19103
The Center for Emerging Visual Artists is pleased to present this CDP Alumni Solo Exhibition - Michael Froio: Relic. Michael Froio presents a photographic exhibition illustrating relics of Philadelphia’s past through four prominent historic Philadelphia buildings. Through large format black and white prints, Froio highlights what survives of these structures exploring the decay, surfaces and detail of hallowed spaces, creating a life-like presence in buildings at the end of their useful lives. Formally the work is carefully balanced using line and light to bring together architectural space and the chaos that has been introduced as a result of change or demolition.

In Praise of Apathy
The Felicity R. (Bebe) Benoliel Gallery, The Center for Emerging Visual Artists, 237 South 18th Street, The Barclay, Suite 3A, Philadelphia, PA 19103
Hours- Monday - Friday, 10am - 4pm (other hours by appointment) This collaboration between artists Matthew Neff and Brian Zegeer is the result of a discussion on the impact of Apathy on our public and private lives. Dense clusters of paintings and printed materials depict a hyper-colored, outsized funeral procession. The black coffin at the installation's center addresses this lull to inaction that locks us individually into habits of over-consumption and the sluggish acceptance of a leadership committed to empire-building. Apathy facilitates the escapist American Entertainment Complex. As such, this installation is an hysteric encounter with film and commercial cataclysm. In Praise of Apathy alternately invokes a resolution of this nightmare scenario and an ecstatic celebration of the Death of Apathy, in which citizens stride potently in a future of glad burdens and new labors.

Adaptation: Celebrating Growth and Change
Felicity R. Bebe Benoliel Gallery, The Center for Emerging Visual Artists
The Center for Emerging Visual Artists (CFEVA) is pleased to announce the Sixth Annual Visiting Curator Exhibition, Adaptation: Celebrating Growth and Change, curated by Brooke Hine. The exhibition will open to the public March 10, 2008 and will continue through April 4, 2008. The opening reception and artist talk will be held March 13, 2008 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm at The Center for Emerging Visual Artists, located at 237 South 18th Street, Suite 3A, Philadelphia, PA. The hours of the exhibition are Monday-Friday 10am-4pm.
Adaptation: Celebrating Growth and Change explores the processes of growth and change within the contexts of built environments, bodies, structures, organisms, and forgotten places. The exhibition investigates the evolution above and below sea level, in decaying urban neighborhoods, inside our bodies, and within the intricate details that surround our daily lives. Each of the nine participating artists will give us insight into our lives: where and how we fit into the world; and the interplay between past, present, and future.
Adaptation: Celebrating Growth and Change is inspired by the theme of "Anniversary" and is being presented in conjunction with The Center for Emerging Visual Artists’ 25th Anniversary year. Founded in Philadelphia in 1983, The Center for Emerging Visual Artists believes that artists deserve the opportunity to build successful careers so that every citizen can have access to quality, original visual art and the artists who create it. Our mission is to advance the careers of visual artists in the region, to promote relationships between artists and the communities in which they live, and to increase access to visual art for everyone.

Confections: Amy Stevens
Felicity R. Bebe Benoliel Gallery, The Center For Emerging Visual Artists
This photographic series of larger than life, delightfully decadent and somewhat off kilter and absurd cakes are what Amy Stevens calls Confections. From what started as a celebration of her 30th birthday for her MFA thesis show, is ending two years later with brand new work in this solo exhibition with support from an Independence Foundation Individual Artist Fellowship.

Regarding Conflict: Lillian Bayley and Shea Roggio
Felicity R. Bebe Benoliel Gallery, The Center For Emerging Visual Artists
Shea Roggio’s photographs and Lillian Bayley’s oil paintings address, in different ways, political conflict and its consequent effect on humanity. Roggio’s work captures moments in the lives of the Ugandan people, still recovering from internal political conflict and genocide, while Bayley uses the naïve language of toys to examine the relationship that develops between media representation of international conflict and the consumer at home.

Alumni Exhibition: Ava Blitz
Felicity R. Bebe Benoliel Gallery, The Center For Emerging Visual Artists
Ava Blitz’s new work shows a renewed interest in narrative, borrowed from diverse cultural traditions. The work is an exploration of light on stone, concrete, and plaster. It is also an expression of material, tooling, and process, including creative casting.
From the artist: This work alludes to the passage of time, petrified in stone or concrete. Lines become blurred and distinctions ambiguous between fossil and artifact, natural history and cultural history, and the present, past, and future.

Alumni Exhibition: Anki King
Felicity R. Bebe Benoliel Gallery, The Center For Emerging Visual Artists
Anki King will display life size drawings done over the last year and a half. The work is based upon imaginary “what-if” scenarios in which the artist envisions herself as she is not; heavyset, black, little, crippled, old, bearded. In many of the works she intertwines black lines of charcoal with wide brushstrokes using gesso, creating a layered depth to her drawings.

In-Formation: Mahtab Aslani and Bedel Tiscareno
Felicity R. Bebe Benoliel Gallery, The Center For Emerging Visual Artists
Culled from the disparate realms of painting and sculpture Mahtab Aslani and Bedel Tiscareno, both New York based artists, present the viewer with an exhibit that is as much about stark contrast as it is about the subtlety of cohesion. Tiscareno's figurative sculpture scrutinizes the political structures that codify issues of morality. Aslani's oil paintings, inspired by the patterns and textures of fabric, blur the line between the representational and abstraction. This unlikely combination creates a dialogue that is open to interpretation.
