Often collaborating with other artists, builders, art critics, graffiti artists, filmmakers, and skate boarders, and musicians, SIMPARCH works at providing sites which allow for social interaction and experimentation with design and materials.

JULY 29 *(This lecture is on Thursday at 1 PM)

WALTER McCONNELL, New York- Walter McConnell is a ceramic artist residing in Belmont, New York. His unfired ceramic installations addressing the relationship between nature and culture have been exhibited nationally and internationally. McConnell states of his work: “My work is a mediation on my relationship to nature within a culture decisively alienated from it. In a technological age, where contact with nature is at best indirect and our experience of it variously defined and mediated by the culture we inhabit, my work is a site where I negotiate conflicting ideas about the natural world and forge a connection to it.” McConnell currently serves as an Associate Professor of Ceramic Art at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University, in Alfred, New York. McConnell was born in Philadelphia and attended the University of Connecticut, Storrs, where he received a BFA in Ceramics and Painting in 1978. McConnell earned his MFA in ceramics from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in 1986.

AUGUST 4

MEL CHIN, North Carolina- Mel Chin was born in Houston, Texas and began making art at an early age. Chin’s art, which is both analytical and poetic, evades easy classification. He is known for the broad range of approaches in his art, including works that require multi-disciplinary, collaborative teamwork and works that conjoin cross-cultural aesthetics with complex ideas. He developed Revival Field (1989-ongoing), a project that has been a pioneer in the field of "green remediation," the use of plants to remove toxic, heavy metals from the soil. Chin is well known for his iconic sculpture, works that often address the importance of memory and collective identity. Chin’s socially engaged projects also challenge the idea of the artist as the exclusive creative force behind an artwork. “Sometimes, the survival of my own idea may not be as important as a condition I might create for others’ ideas to be realized,” says Chin, who often enlists entire neighborhoods or groups of students in creative partnerships. From 1995-1998 he formed the collective the GALA Committee that produced In the Name of the Place a conceptual public art project conducted on American prime-time television. Chin also promotes “works of art” that have the ultimate effect of benefiting science, as in Revival Field, and also in the recent Fundred Dollar Bill/Operation Paydirt Project, an attempt to make New Orleans a lead-safe city (see Fundred.org.)

2nd year MFA student AJ Bredensteiner at Serafin Gallery- Opens Friday!

Come out to support UArts MFA Painting student AJ Bredensteiner in this amazing exhibition at Serafin!

For Immediate Release:

Exhibition: I CAN’T GET YOU OUT OF MY MIND
Date: MAY 21 – JUNE 22
Opening Reception: MAY 21, 6-8PM

Location: 1108 PINE STREET PHILADELPHIA PA 19107
Contact: ROHINA IQBAL (at) ROHINA@SERAPHINGALLERY.COM

Seraphin Gallery is pleased to announce “I can’t get you out of my mind”, a group exhibition curated by Seraphin Gallery artist Hiro Sakaguchi

As often the case, group exhibitions are successful based off the effectiveness of the theme or the story it evokes. Sakaguchi, in this case, chooses himself as the tying thread by choosing works which gave him a long-term impact upon viewing them in the Philadelphia art scene. As Sakaguchi states, “Simply, I choose artists whose works I want to see again for selfish reason.” Because of Sakaguchi’s selfish pursuit, the exhibition becomes an homage to the artists, offering them a new venue and viewers. Works include minimalist cityscapes, needle threaded paper, and ceramic sculpture. By giving these artists the same platform, “I can’t get you out of my mind” becomes a biography on Sakaguchi’s art aesthetic.

Sarah Roche

Sarah Roche’s 2007 series of paintings, “From Dust till Dawn”, reflects her everyday experiences working as a gallery maintenance conservation technician at the Philadelphia Art Museum. Among this series, one watercolor painting stood out, a self-portrait reflected in a window case of medieval armor. The painting depicts a slightly off centered face looking back at the viewer. At a glance, it appears as though she herself is the wearing armor, calling to mind references of Joan of Ark. The simplicity and strength in this depiction and Roche’s use of paint have stayed in my mind for some time. Roche has created a new version of this piece for “I can’t get you out of my head”, Portrait in Armor, this time made of ink on paper.

Marie Ulmer

The first time I saw Ulmer’s work, I thought that it was made by a young artist in her twenties or thirties. What I found out instead was the works were largely executed by an artist in her youth from the 1930’s and 1940’s. Given the rising phenomena of the popularity of works on paper in the past decade, Ulmer’s work fit right in with the Philadelphia art scene. As Candace Karch states “Ulmer is in her nineties, is quite healthy and continues to make works of art.” But it was her works from 1930s-1940s that stayed in my mind. There is sensitivity in the lines and her personal story of a life of an ordinary woman that struck me.

Philip Adams

About a year ago, Philip Adams displayed a charcoal drawing of a huge tsunami wave that took up an entire gallery wall, while a small surfer was placed among the waves. Upon closer examination, the surfer, it turned out, was President Obama. Ever since, I have struck by Adam’s works. For the Seraphin Gallery exhibition, I chose a hyper realistic charcoal drawing of a portrait on wood panel. Solipsist Will is a portrait of the artist’s friend wearing Ray-Ban reflective sunglasses. As the glasses reflect in the drawing, so does the work reflect youth culture and an air of our times. This charcoal on panel has stayed with me and burnt the image into my mind.

AJ Bredensteiner

The Sacrifice of Eternity for a Dream of Immortality is a large drawing installation piece made by artist AJ Bredensteiner. It is composed of more than 400 drawings of the book “Anna Karenina” by Leo Tolstoy.

His conceptual still-life came to be more than 400 drawings which Bredensteiner drew from the book as he turned the pages. Every drawing mimics the exact text as you would find on the correlated page. Bredensteiner devoted five months of his life to this project. He mentions that when you spend that much time in a story, your mind creates an association with your own life story as you are reading the fictive story. Due to my lack of patience, I have no way to find out exactly what AJ is talking about but I’ll take his word for it. His work is a example of a artist fully living within his own art for sake of his art. I have great respect for his sacrifice as an artist.

Artists are faculty members of Tyler School of Art, Drexel University and Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, recipients of the Fleisher Wind Challenge, members of Vox Populi artist collective, and alumnus of the Center for Emerging Visual Artist’s Career Development Program. Selected artists are also in the collections of the Victoria Albert Museum, London, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and the West Collection.

Curator Hiro Sakaguchi has organized various exhibition projects including: “Caution Art in Here” at Cerulean Arts Gallery in Philadelphia, “My Dog Speaks” at Seraphin Gallery, “Useless weapon” at the Green Lantern Gallery in Chicago, and the “Picture Journal Project” at The Woodmere Art Museum. Sakaguchi own works are internationally exhibited and is in the permanent collection of Philadelphia Museum of Art.
