I love studio practice—working at night especially. Some of my paintings are night paintings and some are day paintings. Formerly, I destroyed paintings if they didn’t suit me. I seldom do that anymore. It is more interesting to give the painting time to assert itself. The important thing in painting isn’t how much time it takes to make the painting, but the painting’s quality of timing. Both scale and timing are fugitive aspects of abstract painting that can’t be taught, or even talked about. Some of my paintings evolve very slowly over months, some start, then stop for months, then finish very quickly. I stay close to each painting from beginning to end. Even the staples I use to stretch the canvas, affect the final painting. The quality of canvas or linen, the way it absorbs the paint or responds to charcoal is an essential aspect of my practice—that and water, buckets of watery color. - DONA NELSON

BODEGA this Saturday

Bodega opens a group show entitled Wax Apple this Saturday from 6-9pm in Old City, at 253 North 3rd St. Take the blue line to 2nd and Market--Bodega is a short, historic, tourist-filled Philly walk away.

Pre-Program Must-See's


Friday Night:
Fleisher Ollman presents Introspective/Retrospective featuring Chris Corales, Joe Turner, and Christine Shields; curated by Chris Johanson. Opening Reception 6-9pm; performance starts at 7pm.

Fleisher Ollman is a short walk from the Suburban Station stop on the Blue Line (Market-Frankford.) It is also two blocks from Rittenhouse Square, (18th and Walnut) for hours of entertaining people/dog watching.


Saturday 12-6pm:
Our own Wallace Whitney curated Summer Above at Tiger Strikes Asteroid, a gem of an artist-run space located in the "Vox Populi" building, 319 N. 11th St. Wallace's show at TSA features several of our summer's visiting artists, so don't miss the opportunity to see their work in person. Wander through the Vox building to see other small, DIY spaces including Marginal Utility and Grizzly Grizzly. The Vox building is just off the 23 bus line, and is a short walk from the Race/Vine stop on the Orange (Broad Street) Subway Line.

If you don't make it downtown Saturday-- do not despair. Galleries in the Fishtown/Northern Liberties neighborhood will also be open Saturday 12-6pm:
extra extra hosts Kari Altmann's video/digital photo/bizarro internet exhibition, plus Rebekah Templeton rarely disappoints, and features a group show, Spotlights curated by Jon Lutz. Both are short walks from the Girard stop on the Blue Line--while you are there, explore NoLibs/Fishtown and the spectacle that is the Piazza.

If you travel via bike or car, also check out Little Berlin's EPIC PAIN group exhibition in their new space at Viking Mill. Just around the corner from the Philadelphia Brewing Co.

PLUS, somehow, DON'T MISS:
SAT/SUN 12-6pm:
Crane Arts Building will host a fundraiser Art for the Cash Poor to benefit InLiquid. There will be cheap art--live music--beer--and food. Plus, the Crane is the site of our own SPI/SSI Final Exhibition, so go to see the massive Icebox space which will host our exhibition.
