185v76 openings in October and November
/The 185v76 artists collaborative, soon to be known as PAX, followed up the summer release of its unique 3D online retrospective Visual Arts Program 1976 Faculty Show with its 2022 Fall project exploring the Pop Up concept in the offline world – opening a retail site (Fantasia) in London; a café-to-gallery site conversion (BOX) in New York; a library conversion (Kasper’s Temescal) in Oakland CA; as well as an additional multi-media exhibition in Paris; and a new online gallery generated from Macungie PA.
Macungie – Everett Scott ‘77’s photo coverage and painting of The Montgomery, the world’s largest all-terrier dog show competition, was released into the national terrier community and is on its way online in Scott’s next 3d gallery, this November. About being scrutinized in the intensely picky community, Scott notes: “the photographs and painting were well received.”
Paris -- Pascale Bas, Carol-Ann Braun ‘76, Christian Haub ’76 in Gallery : Abstract Project, 5 rue des Immeubles Industriels, metro Nation. Opening November 2, Closing November 19. Braun notes: “Bas presenting sculptures, Braun presenting drawings and generative work, Haub presenting cast acrylic ‘Floats’.”
Oakland – Oakland Public Library Temescal, with Malcolm Ryder ‘76 and Constance Hale ‘79, showing “Thirteen Ways of Looking at Kasper’s”, a touring street art photo journal. Ryder notes: “getting a proclamation from Oakland’s Mayor the day before the opening helps to continue bringing people to the converted space for the exhibit through January.”
Hudson NY – BOX gallery’s October grand opening by Guy Nouri ‘76, with Mark Scott of Philadelphia. Nouri, who gutted and rebuilt the facility, notes: “the first PAX group show is also set for summer 2023.”
London – Pam Wesson ‘76’s Fantasia World reorganized after a 2022 run through June in Cambridge and brought its eclectic curated inventory of art and artifact collections to a new London address, launched seemingly overnight last week.
The collaborative is designing exhibit and distribution options to integrate the exposure channels across all of its differing October and November types of setups by June of 2023.
