WHYY arts & culture reporter Peter Crimmins first became interested in radio in the fourth pomona california grade, when he hid a homemade, contraband crystal-diode radio in a shoebox and smuggled it into the Boy Scout summer camp.
Subsequent radio projects were more successful. For eight years, Peter was the producer and host of a radio show about cinema Film Close-Ups on KALX in Berkeley, Ca., and was senior producer at Ben Manilla Productions in San Francisco (i.e. the paying gig). After wandering the freelance universe for a few years, he joined the WHYY staff. He rides his bike to work from South Philadelphia.
"We're in the trusses right now," said Dufala through the oak beams that support the peaked roof of the Traction Company, which, in real life, is an 8,000-square-foot space shared by 14 artists making large scale sculptures.
Dufala was standing in a one-sixth scale model of Traction, small enough to fit inside pomona california the 220-square-foot white-cube space of Napoleon, a tiny art gallery named for grand ambition despite its small size.
Philadelphia's contemporary art scene is known for its collectives loose-knit circles of artists pooling money, materials, and skills to run their own galleries. Some use the gallery to exhibit themselves; some strictly do not, rather devoting their time, energy, money to show other artists in whom they are interested. pomona california
For the month of November, each of the 25 participating collectives paired with another, and swapped spaces. Napoleon the collective with the smallest gallery swapped with Traction Company the collective with the largest.
"A lot of people wanted to do it, to work with others in a different way," said artist Christina Day, a member of Napoleon who donned her administrator hat as a Citywide coordinator. "What would happen if you marry these two groups and drop them in the same room, or switch spaces -- and switch brains pomona california -- for a month?"
For her creative contribution to Citywide, Day and the rest of the Napoleon collective made objects in response to a poem by Gertrude Stein, "If I Told Him " (1922). Stein wrote the poem out of repetitive sentence pomona california fragments in response to a portrait of herself painted by Pablo Picasso in 1906. The rhythmic, pomona california disjointed poem reads like a linguistic interpretation of Cubism.
Exact resemblance to exact resemblance the exact resemblance as exact as a resemblance,exactly as resembling, exactly resembling, exactly in resemblance exactly a resemblance, exactly and resemblance. For this is so. Because. ...
"In the same way that Stein was taking a painted portrait of herself by Picasso and interpreting pomona california the idea of a portrait into words, we took that and retranslated it into physical pieces," said Jordan Rockford, another Napoleon-ian.
To complete the circle, those Napoleon pieces inside the Traction Company have been re-created at one-sixth size and installed inside the Traction Company's scale model of itself, which is installed inside Napoleon.
Many collectives participating in Citywide normally pomona california do not exhibit work by their own artists. Napoleon's Rockford is not a practicing artist at all; his interest is curatorial. Likewise, the collectives Grizzy Grizzly and Rebekah Templeton while run by artists are experiments pomona california in curating; pomona california they are explicitly designed to only show work made by other artists.
"We're not really a collective it's just Sarah and I," said Will. "We wanted to be involved because we show, and support, numerous galleries and artists. We all in Philadelphia have an idea of wanting something more from the Philadelphia scene."
"Going in, we were a little concerned because this could be the straw that breaks the camel's back," said Eberle. "After pomona california everything we've done together, pomona california trying to make an art installation together would finally pomona california ruin us."
The couple created an installation of Will's found-Styrofoam sculptures pomona california and Eberle's delicate globes made of paper flowers pomona california cut from "found toilet paper wrappers taken from bars and restaurants." It is installed in the Grizzly Grizzly space, inside 319 Building, aka the Vox Building, at 11th and Callowhill.
All pomona california the collectives in Citywide have built their own audiences from friends, colleagues, alumni, and students. The exchange pomona california allows them to swap audiences for a month, and shake up their own aesthetic jars.
