As I mentioned before, I’m curating an exhibition of eight Philadelphia-based artists who utilize printmaking techniques and self-printed materials, generally thought of as mediums of multiple, and incorporate them into one-of-a-kind works.
Doubting Thomases opens September 10th at Nudashank Gallery in Baltimore, Maryland and will feature works by Micah Danges, Chris Kline, Matt Leines, Isaac Tin Wei Lin, Bill McRight, Dan Murphy, Andrew Jeffrey Wright and myself.

From Caleb:
“I just got back from Shenzhen, China where I did a mural at the Dafen
Art Museum along with a bunch of other muralists, and thought I’d
share a few photos…. Dafen is the neighborhood where most of the
reproduction oil paintings in the world come from. It’s a hoot. It
was also unbelievably hot. Shenzhen is an amazing city – in 1979 it
was 50,000 people and today it is something like 15 million.”
More photos from Caleb after the break.

“These images are from a set of 1,075 photographs — shot over five days last year for the book and exhibition, ‘Contraband’ — of items detained or seized from passengers or express mail entering the United States from abroad at the New York airport.” – New York Times Sunday Magazine
Simon also compiled (that word isn’t right) “An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar”.
Our buddy Marco Depaolis apparently had a show last month last month at the 4th wall project. Looks like it was cool, hope I hear about the next one before its over.
Youngsuk Suh – Sunset I, 2008
“Individuals are often ‘protected’ from the direct contact [with the wildfire] and left with mediated images seen on TV and newspapers. One’s own sense of threat is replaced by the color-coded ratings determined by the authority. Once this process is established, the wildfires are no longer a threat in a real sense. The thick smoke seems to transform the real event into a remote memory.” – from the artist’s statement about the series.
A few more after the break – thanks to Kareem for the tip.

To be released next month.
“Created between October and December 2005, this haunting series of images serves as a potent, unalloyed document of the raw experiences of those left to fend for themselves in the aftermath of Katrina. With no essay, titles, or even page numbers in the way, the words on these homes, cars, and trees offer a searing testament that continues to speak volumes, five years since their original inscription.” – Art Book.
