Our House is on Fire
A group exhibition featuring:
Judy Brodsky, Linda Dubin Garfield, Pamela Tudor, and Elsa Wachs
February 14 - May 17, 2024
Opening Reception: February 15, 2024 from 5:00 - 7:00 PM
Four artists who are concerned about the ecological future of our country and planet are planning an art exhibit focusing on current issues for exhibit in 2023- 24. Judy Brodsky, Linda Dubin Garfield (www.lindadubingarfield), Pamela Tudor (www.pamelatudor.com) and Elsa Wachs (www.elsawachs.com) create works that inspire discussion and concern about preserving the health and safety of our planet.
Artists are often inspired by nature and create art out of the outstanding natural beauty all around us. We are now at a critical juncture where we need to advocate for harnessing our imagination, wealth, and technology to make our communities and our country greener and healthier places to live for everyone. Recently the Supreme Court curtailed the powers of the EPA to protect the environment, no longer requiring the reductions in emissions that are urgently needed to limit global warming. What are we to do? We need clean air, clean water, clean energy, open spaces and a livable climate for ourselves and future generations. Artists are interpreting these catastrophic times using our visual language. Through our art, we strive to create an appreciation for natural beauty and a concern for its preservation.

Kambel Smith
April 6 - June 23, 2024
Opening Reception: April 13, 1:00 - 3:00 PM
Kambel Smith is a self-taught artist and published author based in Philadelphia, PA, who builds large-scale sculptures of historical buildings out of primarily found materials such as cardboard and foam. With no formal training in art or architecture, Smith uses a natural ability to gauge perspective and scale without measuring tools. This ability to see and recreate scale quickly propelled him into the world of fine art where he has done various solo and group exhibitions. Smith was diagnosed with autism as a teenager and began making art to express his worldview.

"The Pain, Boredom and Euphoria of Looking"
April 6 - June 23, 2024
Opening Reception: April 13, 2024, 1:00 - 3:00 PM
For the “The Pain, Boredom and Euphoria of Looking” exhibition, my intent is to select color and black and white photographs which involve some personal physical discomfort (while capturing photographs - namely the photograph titled “Cliff Face”), degrees of boredom (tolerating, organizing and capturing a world full of redundant, irrelevant visual information) and the euphoria I experience while capturing photographs and exploring their effects in post- processing. The intent is to arrive at formal order, unity, mood, complexity, ambiguity, and in many cases engage the viewer in frame edge-to-frame edge visual activity.
In addition: For me, the camera lens depicts perspective too easily, which is why I capture and develop photographs which often frustrate readable perspectival space, through glass and light reflections and refractions and spatial ambiguity, bringing the viewer’s eye stubbornly back to the surface of the image, so the mind is not allowed to linger in readable/navigable space too long. For me, the photographic image is not only a window through which to see the visible world, but also a maker of flat surfaces which stunt or block logical space. I see photography and pictures not only as documentation, but as commenting on or reenacting visual perception itself.
