Friday I went to the Vox building with Cate and a few of my St. Joseph’s students. We were early and so missed the huge crowds which was good for seeing the art. This is in no way a comprehensive review of the many shows on view but it seemed that revolutions were the recurring [...]
This week’s Weekly has my First Friday roundup. Below is the copy with pictures.

This summer heat’s hard to endure so we’re going to tell you about a trip we took to nice shady cool Abington Art Center. Abington has this really great sculpture garden and generally we make that trip at least once a year. There’s a new show in the garden and woods that just [...]

Nick Paparone, The Wonder Wander, torchiere lamp, polystyrene, alumnium foil, paint, motor
