URBAN LANDSCAPES FROM PHILADELPHIA’S INDUSTRIAL LEGACY

TUESDAY, JULY 2, 2013 TO TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 2, 2013
CAFE 12, 212 S 12TH ST, PHILADELPHIA, PA

Opening presentation 6 p.m., July 2 at Cafe 12

Once again, eraserhood.com documentary photographer Bob Bruhin celebrates the Philadelphia neighborhood that inspired such diverse artists as David Lynch, David Goodis,and Sarah McEneaney. Bruhin’s “twisted views of a demented square mile” lovingly explore the rugged, gritty beauty of the classic industrial Callowhill neighborhood through the transcendent vision of a magical realist.

Bruhin has been working in and documenting the Callowhill neighborhood since 2007. He has exhibited in such diverse venues as West Philadelphia’s Seeds Gallery, Mt. Airy’s Highpoint Cafe, and PhilaMOCA’s 2012 Eraserhood Forever event.

This exhibition is sponsored by the Photographic Society of Philadelphia, in conjunction with Cafe 12.

The Greyboy Allstars

Sat, June 29, 2013

Doors: 8:00 pm / Show: 8:30 pm

Union Transfer

Philadelphia, PA

$20.00 – $25.00

When the Greyboy Allstars first formed, two decades ago next year, they were nothing short of groundbreaking. They have influenced an entire generation of bands playing improvisational music in a funk format. Meanwhile, they have outlasted most of their contemporaries, because they have continued to enjoy working together and have honed the essence of their collaboration – also refining their chops while busy with their highly successful individual musical endeavors – without ever chasing trends. Throughout, they have continued to operate completely independently, slightly under the radar, with no major label support or radio airplay, while attracting thousands to legendary shows in cities across the country.

I decided to check out Bufad in my hood, Eraserhood!

Bufad is a pizza joint at the corner of 13th and Spring Garden.  And now you’re scratching your head… “What’s at 13th and Spring Garden??????”

Child, you need to get with the program!  The section of Philly between Vine and Spring Garden, Broad and 10th is becoming the hottest spot in Philly.   We’ve got some of the hippest and hottest places to eat, drink and play!

to see the daters at work: blinddatephilly.tumblr.com

Blind Date is an exhibition highlighting cross-disciplinary collaboration. For the program, visual artists were paired with those working in performance on the basis of their work and responses to an OkCupid-style dating questionnaire. Couples were given 5 weeks to develop a piece for exhibition that addresses a compromise between their respective practices.
