Jerry Mischak sculpture imaginary solutions opening reception: friday, apr 1st from 5-8pm
Explorations in experimentation
can lead to discovery or rediscovery in found objects. Jerry Mischak uses urban debris and consumer materials to explore
their meaning through their newly found function as wall pieces either wrapped or encased in duct tape or plastic. Jerry Mischak
creates boldly energetic instances that create a sense of playfulness while maintaining their distinct unconventional rational. APR

Stephanie Craig ceramics factory work series opening reception: friday, apr 1st from 5-8pm
The Factory Work Series allows tension to balance between
traditional thought, and the modern cultural ideas placed on labor, production and effort. The effect creates two different
textures that invoke the stark contrast between the almost helpless figures and the clout of industry that is seeming controlling
deluded habits. |

Jaime Alvarez photography instruments of cope. feb+mar 2011
Instruments of Cope documents
the void that space creates between, in, and around the object. Rather than space creating the object, or the object
creating space, the two become physical in their nature to one in other, which in turn creates and explains the ideas behind
reflection, therapy, and lament as to describe the emotions conjured that remind us of each other.

In an international exchange, Hanji Field Paintings by Matthew Alden Price and Ceramic Vessels by Junghak Lee will be on view at Philadelphia's meltemBIREY Gallery through the months of October and November.
Price is an internationally-recognized ceramicist, sculptor, furniture designer, and concurrently - in his own right - a painter. The exhibition marks the first installment of one of his largest works to date. The work operates most significantly as a placeholder for experience, relying on the aesthetic topologies of human domain. Paper and textile are the material domiciles of human tradition and expression, and Price takes his cues in earnest.
Junghak Lee is a South Korean ceramicist making her debut in the States. Her work offers a dialectical contribution to turn-of-the-century ceramic craft, engaging with both the traditional mastery and symbolic sensibilities of the medium. Her pieces are imbued with a sense of self-criticality and a desire for perfection. The vessels are a transcendent body of work, mathematically precise as they are organically compelling.
