On First Friday, September 3, Stupid Easy (at 3^rd and Market) will be hosting a September Salon curated by Caryn Kunkle featuring four Philadelphia Salon artists: PJ Smalley, Harrison Doyle, Caleb Hoffstein, and Skirmantas Pipas. Representing a conjunctionist trend in contemporary art, these four artists combine concepts, techniques and materials into finished works that cross boundaries both mentally and physically. The artists met while studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. There they developed a process that involves a hybrid of paint, collage, print, and which exhibits a fresh twist to storytelling in our world of unconcious media. Please join us September 3rd from 6-11pm to meet the artists and explore the work. To RSVP click http://tinyurl.com/2dtj6r6

After First Friday, the the show will run until September 29 and can be seen by appointment only. For appointments please contact Thom @ thomasbuildmore@overkillstudio.com. For more information about Stupid Easy, please visit www.stupideasyideas.com

The Distillery Gallery, in conjunction with Overkill Studio, presents “Grew Up a Screw Up,” a lo-fi/hi-tech collision resulting in video, mixed media, appropriations, visual remixes, internet art, installation and more.

Curated by Overkill Studio’s Thomas Buildmore (responsible for bringing the ever-successful “Paint it Now” exhibit back in August ‘08), the show will take advantage of the unconventional gallery space and celebrate non-dependence on the dwindling commercial gallery world. Themes of hyper stimulation, obsession, elitism, simulated depravity and hypocrisy are examined through the works of this group of mulit-faceted artists while the role of the critic is called into question. “This is going to be a show of work that I really like,” says Buildmore, who is a visual artist himself with frequent exhibits in Boston, NYC, and Philadelphia.

Please join us on July 10 from 7-10pm for site/time-specific elements of this month-long show.

The Distillery Gallery is located on the first floor of The Distillery artist’s building in South Boston. This unique public display space is committed to featuring Distillery based artists, Boston artists, and invited guests.
