I’ve been meaning to tell you about my studio visit with Jesse Greenberg, a RISD grad and friend of Ryan Trecartin and company and of the Bobo’s on 9th crowd. They’re all here now here in Philadelphia–a little RISD tributary that’s run right into our Schuylkill. Greenberg, whose work you may have seen at FUEL last year, is making wonderful interactive sculptures that look like R2D2 with the logic board missing. I will tell you about the studio visit soon. But first, you must go see his show which opens tomorrow night, Friday, Sept. 28, at 8 pm at Bobo’s on 9th, a new space, run by three RISD grads whose art band is called Bobo.
Bobo’s on 9th’s story is interesting, Greenberg’s is interesting. And you’ll love the art–interactive works the artist calls Megabinxes (like the ones above) with lots of touchable small objects inside each play station to play with (and buy!). And Greenberg will have some paintings too, some made on the computer and others painted by hand. Catch it at the opening or call for an appointment. And check my flickr set to see more of Jesse’s art.
