Staring Therapy
The August show is called staring therapy. Its a whole bunch of artists from Toronto and all over. Lots of fun!
Exhibition: August 3 – September 1, 2007
Location: Space 1026 – 1026 Arch St. Philadelphia PA 19107
Reception with the artists: Friday August 3rd, 7-11pm
For more information contact: Jesse Goldstein 610-405-3972 or jesse@space1026.com
Toronto artists Victoria Kent, Seth Scriver, and Sandy Plotnikoff gathered works for this exhibition by sending out a pre-recorded phone message* to friends and contacts around the globe. People responded with small artworks and found objects, which will form an installation to be viewed through specially decorated Staring Tubes.
Staring Therapist Victoria Kent will be present at the reception to welcome visitors, with surprise guests providing musical entertainment.
The artists involved in Staring Therapy are fixtures of a Toronto art scene known for its peculiar (and always free) happenings. For this show, they have turned Plotnikoff’s basement and yard into a “Value Village” thrift store, where they’ve held weakly yard sales with musical guests and free airbrushed personalization of goods. Held throughout the summer, the sales have helped them raise the money they needed to make their trip to Philadelphia possible. On opening night, they will bring their final yard sale of the summer to Space 1026; donations of used goods for the yard sale may be dropped off at the gallery sometime before August 3rd.

oh canada
yesterday a door to door salesman in a suit and tie came to my door – wanted me to use his company to invest in retirement accounts or something – he told me that families like mine were concerned most with inflation – which was good to know.but then today – I get a thank you card – handwritten – from the guy: thanks for letting me spend time with you and tell you about our services it says. My sister doesnt even send me thank you cards anymore. this is a strange land.
