The First Friday Agenda: March 2010

Sarah Blackmon, Communication 1 @ Stitch

First Friday Map and Guide to the Art Exhibitions >

Last First Friday was drowned in rain, so we don’t mind one bit that many of the excellent shows from last month return for a second appearance. For new shows, we are really excited about Sarah Blackmon’s new works at Stitch. 

Designbox has a really interesting sculpture show by Lauren Pegram, human scale sculptures that “carry subtle anti-racist and feminist undertones.”

Monica Damron will be showing traditional darkroom developed photography at the Morning Times.  A novelty just in that it isn’t digital, but we expect high minded themes from the Duke Center for Documentary Studies student.

Flanders opened a show last night featuring works by Nancy Baker and Oriane Stender.  Stender has collages and “money quilts” that develop a conversation around women’s work and the current financial climate.

AHPeele will also be showing illustrations by Dwight Morgan and Lee buckner with Torpor & Double Negative performing live music.  This party starts at 8pm and goes into the night.

Rebus Works continues to show the fantastic Plastic Works show. If you are a photography fan or just into rich images, this show contains rich images produced from primitive plastic cameras. With images from all over the world, and a huge list of artists- this show is not to be missed.

If you missed it last month, Artspace has a great show: Intimate Animals. This show features Heather Freeman and Steven Subotnick two artists whose connection with anthropomorphic animals creates a perfect compliment to each other. 

Lump will continue to show installations by two Philadelphia artists, Joy Feasley and Paul Swenbeck.  The show is called Worms are the Words and tells a story around classic ritual.
