In the brotherly spirit of Philagraphika, Projects Gallery presents Gone Printin'. This is a collective showing of many of the Projects Gallery regulars mixed with a few surprises. Projects will be mounting a show co-curated by Helen Meyrick and Philadelphia Salon director Caryn Kunkle. The Philadelphia Salon is an edgy and energetic group of young artists that Caryn has conjoined over the past two years. Their Salon meets monthly in one of Philly’s finest former baron mansions on North Broad Street. Caryn and her group have been creating artistic community and consciousness of aesthetic by bringing many of Philadelphia’s brightest young artists together with some of Philly’s top art connoisseurs.
All work will be of various methods of printmaking. Artists from Projects Gallery will include Peter Gourfain, Brooke Holloway, Frank Hyder, Itsuki Ogihara, Florence Putterman, Bruce Wilhelm, and others. Varied members of the Philadelphia Salon will also feature work in this show, providing fresh names and works to the familiar. Gone Printin’ will be on display February 5th – 27th, 2010.
