Krista Rothwell, One and One is One, diptych 36 x 96, oil on canvas

Projects Gallery opens its 2008-09 season with Fresh! 2008. Inspired by Philadelphia’s rich and multi-faceted artistic talent, this invitational exhibition highlights this city’s emerging artists. The palpable energy of the current art scene has been garnering increasing attention and critical respect. Fresh! is an unique opportunity to bring together disparate artists united not by imposed thematic or material concerns but as a chorus of individual voices heralding the vibrant, varied directions of contemporary art. Selected by gallery Director Helen Meyrick because of her immediate visceral response to their work, these artists diversely employ sculpture, photography, painting and drawing. Regardless of chosen style, material, or subject, these artists are a breath of fresh air.

Carl Main, Pooh Deer, 25 x 10 x 18, mixed media

A sampling of the contrasts in style illustrates the range of the artists, while placing them in the larger context of contemporary movements. Krista Rothwell paints neo-realistic images of herself and her sister on flat, spaceless color fields, demonstrating that the art of painting is far from dead. Carl Marin portrays the confrontation between nature and urban encroachment, echoing current design and kitsch aesthetics. Brooke Holloway’s works on paper require careful viewing, revealing biting commentary on feminist issues through the contradictory tangles of popular culture. Previously a graphic designer, Gregory Farrar Scott’s sculptural work is imbued with humor, cheekily riffing on found objects used to create pseudo-portraits.

Participants include: Cat Badger, Rosanne D'Andrea, Talia Greene, Brooke Holloway, Carl Marin, Itsuki Ogihara, Marilyn Rodriguez-Behrle, Lynn Rosenthal, Mia Rosenthal, Krista Rothwell, Gregory Farrar Scott, Heather Sundquist, and others.

Today working from home is a multi-million if not billion dollar industry and gaming is a huge part of that. If you don't know what Internet Marketing is you may want to look into it because it can be done on any subject, any topic, and almost everything else that you can think of. Marketing things online has the potential to reach millions of people across the Internet and bring in tons of revenue.

Imagine saving money on gas, daycare, and being your own boss. No work schedules that you don't agree with, no maximum vacation days, no annoying co-workers to deal with, no long commutes, and many more benefits come with those who work from home.

So how do you do it with World of Warcraft?

There are many ways you can accomplish making money online from home with World of Warcraft. Let's go over a few ways that I'm not going to tell you about but you could look into.

1) Farm Gold and sell it (not advised)
2) Power level characters and sell them (not advised)
3) Commit Auction House Arbitrage (not advised)

I'm not going to tell you how to do the above things or even explain what they are because they violate the EULA and I wouldn't recommend doing any of them.

What I'm going to recommend is that you share your knowledge with the WoW Community and write. You can write guides, you can write articles, you can write whatever you want and make it World of Warcraft or gaming related and make money off it. Whether you're interested in revenue sharing, game cards, or want a lump some cash amount for everything you write it makes no difference as long as you don't have to go to a crappy job from 9-5 everyday and listen to a boss.

I am an Internet Marketer and you are reading one of my articles that I get paid to write and if this is something that interests you then I recommend you check out Learn how to Make Money Playing Games

There is an infinite amount of knowledge to share with the community and an infinite amount of individual viewpoints you can share on aspects of the game where you could write at least one thing a day which takes < 1 hour of your time and make as much as you would in 8 hours at McDonalds (but only if you're a good writer and your topic is hot).

Diedra Krieger, Still from Baudrillard video, video, n/a

For the summer season, Projects Gallery is pleased to announce a collaboration with curators Roberta Fallon and Libby Rosof entitled “ID”. This exhibition will showcase emerging Philadelphia artists united in pushing the boundaries of myth and persona in contemporary art. Fresh from various Philadelphia-area art colleges and programs, these artists embrace the ethos of the MySpace generation. Utilizing video, performance, sculpture and photography, “ID” explores broad and self-focused concepts ranging from issues of applied identity to the id of the artist. As put succinctly by the curators, “the works are metaphorical in ways that come out of the core of who they are and what they see around them.”
Jamie Diamond, The Radissons, photographic print, 40" x 60"

True to the zeitgeist, the artists use the self to express the political, environmental and personal. Documenting the seemingly mundane of the everyday, these works morph into an escapist fantasy. As Fallon and Rosof state, “their art is questioning their relationship to their families and friends, to the past, to the city, to the camera even.” Whether fabricating an alternate persona through video, documenting a false or surrogate family through photography, or constructing impossible landscapes of impractical materials, the artists express experience via the filter of their own “ID”. Through the embrace of the self-as-subject, these young artists confront the contemporary world by retreating into one of their own creation.
Andria Bibiloni, Blaster Bike, Mixed Media with Sound, dimensions variable

Artists include from Moore College of Art and Design, Samantha Hill; from Tyler School of Art, Andria Bibiloni and Carl Marin; from The University of the Arts Jay Hardman, Alex Gartelmann and Phil Jackson; and from University of Pennsylvania Jamie Diamond, Katy Rose Glickman and Sarah Zimmer; from Vermont College of Fine Arts, Philadelphia-based artist Diedra Krieger – all representing the spectrum of the Philadelphia art experience.

This is the last full week to view Project Gallery's duel solo exhibitions Henry Bermudez's "Con la Mirada en el Cielo" and Paul Santoleri's "Subterranean / Basement"

Bermudez continues his exploration of spiritually surreal imagery, combining his unique vision of pre-Colombian and Christian iconography. The complex arrangement of interlocking lines and colors are reminiscent of intricate Persian tapestries. The dense arrangement invites us to travel further into a realm of contemplation. Bermudez’s current body of work expands upon the tradition of cut-paper assemblage, expanding his surface to monumental proportions. The impressive scale confronts the viewer, while the subtle, enigmatic imagery draws one to “gaze to the heaven”.

Utilizing the unique exhibition possibilities of Project’s lower level, Paul Santoleri presents both large and small-scale works, as well as his site-specific blacklight-responsive wall paintings. Through spontaneous and free-formed animalistic and vegetal hybrids, one is able to view the spirit of creative energy that exists in all living things. Santoleri invites us to discover an underground world of color and light and to visit a phantasmal environ of his imagination.

Both Con La Mirada en el Cielo and Subterranean / Basement conclude May 31st, 2008. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Thursday noon to 5 p.m. and Friday and Saturday noon to 7 p.m.

In his second solo show at Projects Gallery, Henry Bermudez presents “Con La Mirada en el Cielo”. Bermudez continues his exploration of spiritually surreal imagery, combining his unique vision of pre-Colombian and Christian iconography.

Elizabeth Bisbing, The Geisha, 6.66"H x 4.5"W, gouache on paper collage

Projects Gallery proudly presents Elizabeth Bisbing in her first Philadelphia solo exhibition entitled People / Places / Paper. Known for her skillful cut-paper assemblages that pay homage to familiar classical works, Bisbing creates delicately layered miniatures. For this exhibition, she creates interiors inspired by the works from the Dutch Golden Age as well as a series of figures from the wider body of art history. Expanding on the concept of a Victorian parlor game, Bisbing has removed or hidden most of the faces in these postcard-size portraits. Male and female saints, a geisha, and figures borrowed from Vermeer to Klimt all become featureless, teasing with the concept of what is hidden and revealed. The scenes of these recognizable images take on a new dimensionality and an intimate approachable scale through the artist’s sure hand. Through her interpretation of these precise cut-paper works, the art historical images take on a modern vitality.

Elizabeth Bisbing, Golf, 11.25"H x 7.25"W, gouache on paper collage

Bisbing is a graduate of Moore Collage of Art and Design and received her MFA from Vermont College. Her work has been reviewed in New York Magazine and The Sun.

Florence Putterman, Year of the Comet, 17.5"H x 23.5"W, etching

Projects Gallery is pleased present its second solo exhibition of Florence Putterman. Known for her textural paintings and bold, earthy colors, Noir et Blanc features works in only black and white, focusing the exhibition on Putterman’s keen image-making. Utilizing etching and woodcuts, these works on paper continue to explore an imaginative world of whimsy and humor. Expressive and figurative, these prints are companion pieces to her often large-scale paintings that have been the benchmark of this artist’s extensive body of work. Through these narrative prints, we are invited to explore both land and seascapes where humans interact with the animals and nature as a benevolent observer and caretaker. Putterman has the ability to interpret dreams and fantasy with charm and an almost child-like touch. Frogs and elephants, stars and moons all weave a tale of adventure with no certain meaning but a sense of nocturnal déjà vu.

Florence Putterman, Ancestral Kinship, 17.5"H x 23.5"W, etching

Putterman has had an extension exhibition history, and her works are included in many private and public collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum and the Philadelphia Museum.

Ah, childhood, a time fraught with intense and conflicting emotions and sweet and often terrifying memories. It is also a time of playful freedom and the frustrations of grown-up rules.

Assembling a variety of national and international artists, Projects Gallery presents Child’s Play as an opportunity to re-examine the perceptions and artifacts of youth. Utilizing various techniques and materials, these artists investigate the duality of childhood.

Jaime Treadwell, Hunter, 14"H x 20", oil on panel

Meticulous photographs depict scenes that intersect naïve, youthful games and more serious adult activities. In visually disparate Technicolor paintings, sights of cavorting kids and childlike imagery depict the results of a society where rules and boundaries no longer exist.They present a place where childhood either dwells in bleak, desolate playgrounds or retreats into the fantasy of a more natural, primitive state.

Ross Bonfanti, Teddy C134, 11"H x 10"W x 8"D,concrete and toyparts

Deconstructed children’s toys form sculptures. Mixed media assemblages capture and highlight iconic moments of youth. Delicate paper dolls and intricate embroideries are quaint and reminiscent of an innocent era, while hinting at the underlying vulnerability of the age. Whatever the means or materials, Child’s Play examines the lives of children, their impact on the adult world and demonstrates just how personal one’s interpretation of this formative time can be. Exploring the coalescence of the innocent and the mature, this exhibit invites you to enter into and take another look at child’s play.

Elaine Erne, Bear Hug, 40"H x 34"W, graphite on paper.

This February Projects Gallery proudly presents Frida and Me, Common Threads. Inspired by the centennial exhibition of the world-renown Frida Kahlo at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (February 20 until May 18), four contemporary Latina artists join together to celebrate and express their common connections. Doris Nogueira-Rogers, Michelle Angela Ortiz, Marilyn Rodriguez-Behrle, and Marta Sanchez present works that reflect on the intertwining relationships between various identities and cultures of Latin American female artists.



Doris Noguiera-Rogers, Lace and Layers Series, 18"x 18", Mixed Media

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Doris Nogueira- Rogers exhibits the passion of Brazil in her art. Through her use of stimulating colors, lines, shapes, and texture, she exerts the visual impact of Nature as a form of preservation and celebration.



Michelle Ortiz, Las Huellas del Tiempo, 24" x 24", Acrylic on wood

Michelle Angela Ortiz reflects her ancestral roots by visual representation of her spirituality and culture. Striving to document her personal evolution of struggles, triumphs, and transitions, a sense of nostalgia and sentiment are the major themes of her creative expression.



Marilyn Rodriguez-Behrle, Death Passing, 33"x 38", Mixed Media

Known for her creative and diverse approach to mixed-media art, Marilyn Rodriguez-Behrle’s inspiration stems from observations of her community. The use of found objects in her work best represent the resonance of her personal struggles in her environment.



Marta Sanchez, Four Pieces of Me, each panel 18"x 24", Oil enamel on copper

Focusing her art on traditional Mexican Folk Art, Marta Sanchez seeks to narrate the relationships between family and friends, as well as representing hopes, prayers, and humanity of the common man through the art of Retablo, the offspring of Mexican prayer paintings.

The personal yet universal experiences belonging to these four diverse artists intricately reflect their common threads to Frida Kahlo’s life and creative output. Kahlo was one of the most acclaimed Mexican painters of the 20th Century. Building upon the foundation of Kahlo’s legacy, these artists display vibrant work that symbolizes their individual experiences in the context of gender, identity, and culture. Frida and Me, Common Threads expresses the significance and complexity of Latin American contemporary art that speaks with a distinct volume and dialogue of its own.

Frida and Me, Common Threadswill be open from February 1- 23, 2008.
Opening Reception will take place on Frist Friday, February 1st, 2008 5-8 pm with a special reading from Las Gallas Artist Collective.
