“Because it’s all collaborative, they sort of all come back and help out after they do their show. Which is cool. Wendy was really excited to do wheat paste before her show. And she said she’ll come back and do more because she loved it.”

There is a large elaborate white wheat pasted paper design, fluid, almost floral, pasted to the front of the gallery. Jessica Murphy, 161 West Gallery owner, took DoN on a tour of the developing arts center, there’s a large interior courtyard perfect for parties, picnics, music and art installations. The walls are already becoming mural-ized with plans for more color to come this Spring. 161 West Gallery has been located at 161 West Cecil B. Moore Avenue, Philadelphia, since July, 2012.

“The building took a lot to get ready, to clean and paint. That took about two months. The current show will be up the whole month of March. There’s a show the 16th and then do special appointments.” – Jessica Murphy

This 3D printer is laying the foundation for a bust of a famous person in full color. Can you see who it is? The printer spreads a layer of powder then sprays an image using glue, building in layers until a fully rendered object emerges. The results are extraordinary – some objects even have moving parts.

The Moving Model Workshop

The Moving Model Workshop at The Plastic Club

Bob Jackson is a fine artist able to elevate simple materials like old graph paper and ballpoint pens to an elegant language of signs, symbols, movement and line. The artist sketches quick drawings each less than an inch high as the model moves slowly through a series of athletic poses. The pages quickly fill up with hundreds of tiny croquis. In the historic studio artists draw intensely as the model, Stephanie, makes beautiful shapes in space.

Check the new DoNArTNeWs for more images of Bob Jackson‘s drawings from the Moving Model Workshop and a description of how this video was produced. This video plays in full screen mode for a larger than life look at the drawings.
