Even though this year's conference is weeks away the energy is building. Our prologue event is this evening at the Wexler Gallery in the Old City section of Philadelphia.
First Friday's openings:
A retrospective of work by Myra Mimlitsch-Gray, anti/icono/clastic
Also a group show of fantastic new materials from their collective new medium.

Should be very interesting. I've purchased a new hat for the occasion. Hope to see you there.

Best,
Anthony
