The Main Trilogy: COMMUNITY PREVIEW (w/ jokes)

Saturday, September 20, 2025
Doors at 6pm | Show 7–10pm
 $15 – Tickets available now

An evening of ghosts, grudges, and genre-blurring brain fog.

Join artist and filmmaker Abigail Bruley for a one-of-a-kind screening of The Main Trilogy—three surreal shorts about grief, memory, and emotionally overcooked family dinners. It’s weird. It’s darkly funny. It’s cognitively askew.

Starring punk icons Ted Leo and Marisa Dabice of Mannequin Pussy, and featuring a score by the legendary Sun Ra Arkestra, the trilogy takes you on a strange ride between life, death, and whatever’s left in between.

About the Artists

Clyde Jurysta

I am an artist currently living in Philadelphia. Born to artist parents, I have been trained in various art forms from an early age, though I did not go to ‘art school’ for college. I consider the knowledge I have gained through working in the trades useful to my art making career. I enjoy putting various techniques to practice including welding, forging, wood working, electrical, printmaking, painting, casting and sculpting etc., and source my materials from the street, trash (wanna see my collection of salvaged motors?) construction sites, hardware stores, the scrap yard, and the woods.

Growing up in Manhattan in the 90’s, I was fascinated by all of the neon lights that were everywhere. All of the strip clubs and adult stores had such good signage. A colored light bulb isn’t just color, it’s color being pushed into your eyeball. Your eye isn’t receiving the color passively. The color waves are flowing into you. That’s also why I love fluorescent colors. They vibrate with light, almost as if the colors are emitting light themselves.

Lately I’ve been very intrigued by geometry. Geometry is in everything. It’s microscopic and infinite. Don’t get me started on fractals! Exploring these topics from a base level, using materials I know and enjoy such as wood, has been a great way to learn more about the math and science behind these forms. The geometric frame pieces have been a kind of challenge to myself to see if I can make some of the shapes I’ve been making, but well enough that I don’t need (much) filler. I love how the oiled mahogany highlights the beauty of the shape, and the brass detail highlights the beauty of the mahogany.

The optical illusion paintings have been a really exciting way for me to explore color. How colors interact with each other and how they interact with the senses. Exploring color, pattern and texture might be a never ending path of learning for me.

I derive inspiration from life. The human form, queerness, music, nature, science, folklore, old wisdom, communing with nature, and the unknown. My current themes include gateways to other worlds, optical illusions, and the supernatural. My queer identity influences my art and subject matter. In a grander sense, I want my art to bring light and joy to those who see it.

Free Palestine. End genocide everywhere. Land back. Destroy capitalism. Power to the people!

Yianni Kourmadas

Yianni Kourmadas is a tradesperson, trash-picker and tinkerer using raw materials to create Living Objects that blur the human/machine boundary. Inspired by the mechanical and sonic possibilities inherent in each physical scrap, Yianni designs and builds objects that wake up into existence, explore their desires, and talk or move with the aid of motors or hand-cranks. Creatures of irregularity, Living Objects, unlike their mechanical counterparts in the Crumbling World, do not do work.

Spiritual Crossing: Reach & Embrace

March 3 – 31

Artwork on view by Lucy H. West

Opening Reception: March 3, Friday 6-9PM

Gallery Hours: Wednesdays 6-8PM, Sundays 12-3PM

Curated by Morgan Lloyd and Nile Overton

Spiritual Crossing: Reach & Embrace is a solo exhibition comprised of mixed media canvas paintings, works on paper, and installation art by Lucy H. West. The expressive body of work wavers between abstraction and representation to convey the connections between our physical and inner worlds, inspired by the universal experience of new beginnings and finding peace within personal growth. The show’s themes are healing, self-love, emotion, growth, meditation, and taking conscious action to connect with and know oneself. West encourages her audience to interpret her work freely and connect with others in the same space by considering the multiplicity of diverse perspectives. Cultivating a judgment-free community space is also a prominent theme in the exhibition.

Synapsis Universum

Solo exhibition with work on view by Reuben Francois

Opening Friday, August 5th, 2022
844 North Broad Street Philadelphia PA

Reuben Francois is a painter, interested in the way art can be used as a tool for expressing esoteric ideas of life. Currently, he is completing a series of works named “Diagrams”. The series centers on the concept of syncretism; the idea that many religions and cultures have similar stories and archetypes. Symbolism, in the Carl Jung school of thought, is a major part in Reuben’s creative and theoretical decision making. For Reuben, symbols serve as a way to express the inexpressible. By collecting symbols in a picture plane, painting brushes the shoulders of metaphysics.

His work is both a declaration of his personal philosophy as well as an emanation of his own spiritual journey;  a time capsule to his 23 years experienced on Spaceship Earth.
