Yesterday’s MARGIN/MARGIN closing reception was great because it featured an OFF THE WALL artist (Heather Raquel Phillips) in a partner’s space (William Way). Let’s try to one-up that TODAY (FRI 11/10), with an opening reception for a phenomenal multimedia artist long attached to our community — KAREN RODEWALD — in a gallery co-founded by another OFF THE WALL artist: Harvey Weinreich’s SIDE STREET GALLERY (812 Chestnut Street, Studio 2E). In a 5-8 PM reception, Karen will unveil her newest works on paper, from photography captured from unexpected vantage points to multimedia works that celebrate the simple joys of making marks and continuously dabbling with color. Adapting something she once told us, Karen’s visual experimentation may strive for exactness but always, ultimately, embraces and celebrates our imperfect, at times tumultuous world. We look forward to seeing you this evening!
