Dennis McNett – Year of the Wolfbat
The Year of the Wolfbat began in NYC in June and has since trekked across the US stopping for exhibitions, artist talks and workshops along the way. The migratory flight of the Wolfbats has swooped in for shows at Fecal Face Dot Gallery in San Francisco and Thinkspace Gallery in Los Angeles. Their tour will culminate at Space 1026 in Philadelphia with an installation of print-derived sculpture and mural, accompanied by unique and editioned works both large and small.
The gallery will be transformed into a loud psychedelic woodcut landscape. Duck your head walking in and make way for an entire flock of hotheaded Wolfbats swooping overhead, not to mention the supercharged eagles diving out of their path to let them through.
New wood carved pieces, relief cut prints, masks and oversize tapestries. Leopards with serpent tails, goat heads wrapped in snakes, angry beasts, eagles fighting snakes, bats, and of course, Wolfbats!

PARTY TONIGHT
Yo
TONIGHT come down for the CLOSING RECEPTION of Muralmorphosis, an animated film painted frame by frame on a house-sized wall by a team of artists (including myself) as part of the Philly Fringe Festival, and with the support of the Mural Arts Program.
It was an insane amount of work. Come eat and drink in the great outdoors and enjoy musical performances by Charles Cohen (Color is Luxury), Yanni Papadopoulous, Chalk, Beige Americans and Planet Y. I assume they will be screening the animation- something will definitely be projected onto a wall.
TONIGHT- September 19th
Empty Lot at 2nd and Race Streets
9pm
