The shop will be closed from Thanksgiving Day through Sunday SIKE! It’ll be open on Saturday and Sunday from 8-11.
If I had to guess, I’d say that the guards will be kicking you out of the shop at midnight on Wednesday Night. Please plan accordingly.
Eat well, catch up on sleep, and have a relaxing break.
Monday Nov. 17th, Noon in Falvey Hall, Brown Center, MICA.
This Monday, November 17th, Ariel Genovese is showing the American Premiere of her documentary il Percorso, showcasing the creation of the exhibition DECALOGO, a show of prints and steel faced plates by artist Paolo Canevari produced at the print studios in Calcografia in Rome.
Following the Documentary Short, there will be a Panel Conversation on stage, led by Brett Littman, Executive Director of The Drawing Center in NYC. Also on the panel will be Paolo Canevari (Artist), Ariel Genovese (Director), and Gail Deery.
For those of you unfamiliar with Paolo Canevari, he is best known recently for his video Bouncing Skull which premiered at the Venice Biennale in 2007. You can view a snippet of the video here.
Printmaking Majors and Concentrators and EVERYONE – this is an amazing opportunity to see Paolo Canevari speak. The documentary is gorgeous and the work is simultaneously contemporary and classic. Make no excuses to miss this, it will be excellent.

BBOX, The Gateway, 1601 Mount Royal Avenue
Since 1977, Charles Ritchie has recorded images and notes in a series of sketchbook/journals that now number 131 books. These volumes have become both settings for intimate watercolor studies improvised from subjects in and around his home, and dream repositories written in a pen and ink note hand that only the artist can fully decipher. The sketches and texts inform a broad program of small-size drawings created serially and independent of the books. In addition, Ritchie’s drawings and journals are the sources for his intaglio prints that engage the techniques and materials of printmaking to reinvent his images. The artist’s lecture at MICA will be based loosely around 30 years of work seen concurrently in his solo exhibition, From the Inside Looking Out, which will be on view at Gallery Joe in Philadelphia from November 1 through December 20.
In honor of his visit we are having a 2-hour show of student sketchbooks.
Bring your sketchbooks/journals directly to the talk at the BBOX. We will have tables set up in the BBOX for the books. It’s a great chance to see the variety of journals students keep. After Charles Ritchie speaks about his own work – there will be a discussion surrounding the student books.
We only have about a quarter of our majors and concentrators signed up for the e-mail list. PLEASE SIGN UP. (just because you USED to receive e-mails from us doesn’t mean you’re on the new list — your participation is necessary).
Also, once you do sign up, be sure to read and click through on the confirmation e-mail to finalize signing up. If you don’t see a confirmation e-mail, check your junkmail box.
Thx.
Kyle.
