Katie Baldwin and Caitlin Perkins have made substantial marks on the Philadelphia art scene. Experienced book and printmakers, the shared interest in historical imagery and narrative led to a collaborative project with Landmarks Contemporary Arts Projects last spring. Join The Print Center Gallery Store for a fun-filled romp through 18th Century historical anecdotes, prescriptive literature, recipes, maxims, and mayhem with these two 21st Century printmakers.
Saturday, December 8, 2 - 3 pm
James Abbott and Michael Froio photograph the landscape around them, but with very different approaches. Abbott’s ongoing project on Cape Cod documents both naturally occurring change and that caused by human presence. Froio’s series of Philadelphia’s rich architectural history being renewed, renovated or destroyed reflects a different sort of human intervention. Both artists share a desire to record the richness of our landscape, rural and urban, as it all too quickly becomes memory.
