Deja Vu – 6th Annual Juried Competition @ Off the Wall Gallery in Dirty Frank’s. DoN missed the opening party for Deja Vu but art friends reported the place was packed with artists and friends celebrating the amazing collection of art gleaned from the many submissions. Off the Wall has a long art history in Philly and being included in the group show, especially with such esteemed jurors, is a real honor. When lola & DoN sipped cocktails at the bar, a feeling of pride and accomplishment surges through his system, even the Jack neat doesn’t quell the vibration. Having photographs hang next to Rick Wright, Bonnie Schorske, Ed Snyder…feels so validating. Entering art competitions is like buying lottery tickets, you can’t win unless you play.
Yeoun Lee, Marion Lioppo…Bill Myers’ phot0 collage is totally Dada, Rick Wright corners anthropomorphism in household objects, Erin Lynn O’Connor tackles surrealism – the show is really trippy. Deja Vu – 6th Annual Juried Competition @ Off the Wall Gallery in Dirty Frank’s.
