Frank Prattle with Zefrey Throwell

Johnny Hattori (artist, avid golfer)

.

Johnny has to be one of the funniest people to have walked the entire globe.  From the minute you sit down with him, not only are you at ease, but you are suddenly laughing your ass off as well.  I caught up with him at Southern Exposure (where NPR has their HQ right now) and we chit chatted about one minute portraits, substitute teaching, golfing, and his belief that everyone is an artist.

Jenelle Porter (Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia) caught by surprise in a basekamp installation!

Space 1026 installing their neon Ewok village of art madness…

The Black Floor Gallery girls going ape shit!

.

Jenelle (along with Naomi Beckwith and Elyse Gonzales) curated an amazing show called Locally Localized Gravity at the ICA in Philly. The participants read like a who’s who of the “Collective” art scene in America right now. Space 1026, Red76, LTTR, basekamp, CCRED, LURE, Black Floor Gallery, and more! Jenelle talks about this groundbreaking show as well as her history in the arts, L.A., Minneapolis, NY, the merits of curitorial schooling, and she answers the question of what would she do with $25 million clams!

William Pym (Fleisher/Ollman Gallery, Art Forum)

I met William at an after party in Philadelphia at a place called Black Floor Gallery (excellent spot by the way). We quickly established our mutual affection for pirate radio and from there we were off. We snuck up to the top floor of a warehouse, and with revellers below, proceeded to get to the bottom of the London underground rave culture, Philadelphia’s art scene, love, work, life, lies…, in other words, everything under the sun.
