In Praise of Apathy
The Felicity R. (Bebe) Benoliel Gallery, The Center for Emerging Visual Artists, 237 South 18th Street, The Barclay, Suite 3A, Philadelphia, PA 19103
Hours- Monday - Friday, 10am - 4pm (other hours by appointment) This collaboration between artists Matthew Neff and Brian Zegeer is the result of a discussion on the impact of Apathy on our public and private lives. Dense clusters of paintings and printed materials depict a hyper-colored, outsized funeral procession. The black coffin at the installation's center addresses this lull to inaction that locks us individually into habits of over-consumption and the sluggish acceptance of a leadership committed to empire-building. Apathy facilitates the escapist American Entertainment Complex. As such, this installation is an hysteric encounter with film and commercial cataclysm. In Praise of Apathy alternately invokes a resolution of this nightmare scenario and an ecstatic celebration of the Death of Apathy, in which citizens stride potently in a future of glad burdens and new labors.

Adaptation: Celebrating Growth and Change
Felicity R. Bebe Benoliel Gallery, The Center for Emerging Visual Artists
The Center for Emerging Visual Artists (CFEVA) is pleased to announce the Sixth Annual Visiting Curator Exhibition, Adaptation: Celebrating Growth and Change, curated by Brooke Hine. The exhibition will open to the public March 10, 2008 and will continue through April 4, 2008. The opening reception and artist talk will be held March 13, 2008 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm at The Center for Emerging Visual Artists, located at 237 South 18th Street, Suite 3A, Philadelphia, PA. The hours of the exhibition are Monday-Friday 10am-4pm.
Adaptation: Celebrating Growth and Change explores the processes of growth and change within the contexts of built environments, bodies, structures, organisms, and forgotten places. The exhibition investigates the evolution above and below sea level, in decaying urban neighborhoods, inside our bodies, and within the intricate details that surround our daily lives. Each of the nine participating artists will give us insight into our lives: where and how we fit into the world; and the interplay between past, present, and future.
Adaptation: Celebrating Growth and Change is inspired by the theme of "Anniversary" and is being presented in conjunction with The Center for Emerging Visual Artists’ 25th Anniversary year. Founded in Philadelphia in 1983, The Center for Emerging Visual Artists believes that artists deserve the opportunity to build successful careers so that every citizen can have access to quality, original visual art and the artists who create it. Our mission is to advance the careers of visual artists in the region, to promote relationships between artists and the communities in which they live, and to increase access to visual art for everyone.

Confections: Amy Stevens
Felicity R. Bebe Benoliel Gallery, The Center For Emerging Visual Artists

From what started as a celebration of her 30th birthday for her MFA thesis show, is ending two years later with brand new work in this solo exhibition with support from an Independence Foundation Individual Artist Fellowship.

Regarding Conflict: Lillian Bayley and Shea Roggio
Felicity R. Bebe Benoliel Gallery, The Center For Emerging Visual Artists
Shea Roggio’s photographs and Lillian Bayley’s oil paintings address, in different ways, political conflict and its consequent effect on humanity. Roggio’s work captures moments in the lives of the Ugandan people, still recovering from internal political conflict and genocide, while Bayley uses the naïve language of toys to examine the relationship that develops between media representation of international conflict and the consumer at home.
