OPENING RECEPTION
TOMORROW–FRIDAY

222 Vine Street, Philadelphia PA 19106open mon – fri 12-5, or by appointment
Nick Paparone (formerly of Black Floor gallery) and Luren Jenison, members of the new Copy Gallery bring selected works from the once controversial, long forgotten and recently reconstituted collective – the Golden Brick to the 222gallery. The art world has seen more than its share of pranksters, acts of audacity and out-and-out hoaxes but none more fascinating than these artists. Loosely organized and fluctuating in participation between 15 and 20 Los Angeles-based artists, Golden Brick is best known for their artistic plagiarism. The mysterious group was a sudden but intense flash in the art-world pan.
As much rip-off as homage, their creations borrow the materials and language of artists both newly emerging and widely known. Many of their peers were becoming famous through their exposure in the highly charged Whitney Biennial of 1993, which served as a significant touchstone for the Golden Brick.

PILOT TV: EVERY BODY MOVES AGAINST CONTROL
PILOT TV: EVERY BODY MOVES AGAINST CONTROL
For four days in October of 2004, over 200 artists and activists from across North America descended upon Chicago to collaboratively produce television shows, performances, interventions, documentaries, workshops, and lectures. Responding to the concept of ‘feminist trespass,’ Piloteers performed and engaged audiences across queer, feminist, artistic, racial and other political borders to collectively build and define new visibilities. Over 35 ‘TV pilots’ were made at this convergence.
This show is a collection of some of those “TV Pilots” which will be presented by pilot organizers: Dylan Mira and Latham Zearfross.
+ A SPECIAL PERFORMANCE BY NY VIDEO ARTIST: TARA MATEIK!!
SATURDAY March 17th
*Free with admission to gallery (only $3 with student ID)*
2:00pm AFTERNOON SHOW!
