One Small Step.....

clockwise: the astronaut, Bo Lee, and Me.

It all began with a search for lil' plastic army men that lead a friend to Goldmine Unlimited. There she met owner Bo Lee, who could only provide a lil' plastic astronaut. And that is how word got to me that Goldmine was in need of a gallery, and a curator. Thus, the Anchor Collection was born.

This Friday the best store on this earth (imho), Goldmine Unlimited, unveils its Micro Gallery.....all 88 sq ft of it. The show spotlights the impressive illustrations of Reau, Tim Durning, and Stephanie Struse and will run for a month. I'm thrilled to be the curator of this fine show, involving these fine people.

Reau:

famous for having two moleskine sketchbooks is his pockets at all times and for painting Wolverine every week for an entire year; spends so much of his time illustrating that this gallery appearance is a rare occasion indeed.

Tim Durning:

knows how to make a compelling image; cerebral; allegorical; sequential. Studious and insightful.

Stephanie Struse:

makes portraits with paint, cut paper, and captivating whimsy.

The artworks alone are good enough reason to take a trip down Main St. Manayunk but consider this...because of a chance meeting (involving a hunt for little plastic army men) what was once a storage room has transformed into a new kind of gallery spot, in a less likely neighborhood, in less than a month. This little wonder has a lot going for it, but what really got me is that it's an unexpected little gem and a place for art where art is most needed. Thanks to Bo Lee for making it happen. Hope to see you there!
