Olivia Coffey, Recent Photo Alum in group show in Chelsea
Olivia Coffey’s vivid color photographs capture the fragility of partnership and the fluid, subtle and often fleeting nature of intimacy. Calling upon cohabitating couples in “practical… profitable [and] constant” partnerships, Coffey shoots the duos posed comfortably in their shared homes. Printing the final selections as large scale Archival Pigment Ink Jet Prints on luster paper, the artist displays the intricacies of private domestic space in the larger than life, hyperreal proportions one might associate with film, television and related media.
Olivia Coffey was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and currently resides in San Francisco.
August 19 - September 9, 2011 Reception: Thursday August 25, 2011 6-8 PM
The Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Exhibition is an eagerly awaited show on the gallery calendar, and an examination of these works makes it easy to see why. Innovative, energetic and intensely appealing, this is an example of contemporary art at its breathtaking best. Each of the range of mediums and styles is used gracefully and creatively, resulting in a wonderfully varied collection of art.

Nsenga Knight: Last Rite
Brandywine Workshop
728 S. Broad Street (The Avenue of the Arts) Philadelphia, PA 19146
PH: 215.546.3675 Email: prints@brandywineworkshop.com
Nsenga Knight: Last Rite
Performance: Sunday, February 27, 9:30 a.m.
Reception: 10:30am – 12noon
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
In Last Rite, a performance and print-based work, Nsenga Knight reimagines historical events and presents a series of prints connecting Malcolm X’s transformative final ritual– his 1964 pilgrimage to Mecca, to his assassination and funeral rites in 1965. Last Rite re-sketches the final events and rituals in Malcom X's life, and commemorates the days in which they occurred. The Last Rite performance at the Brandywine Workshop addresses the audience as witness, catalyst and participant - blurring the lines between spectator space and performance, while prompting questions about communal and ethical responsibility. This performance score is the first in the Last Rite project and commemorates the funeral of Malcolm X forty six years ago on this date and time.
The performance will begin at 9:30 AM on Sunday, February 27, 2011 in the Glass Lobby Gallery at Brandywine Workshop, 728 South Broad Street (Avenue of the Arts). Ample free parking is available on the street and at MAB Paints’ parking lot next door.
This event is free and open to the public.
Knight earned a Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Pennsylvania and an undergraduate degree in Film Production at Howard University. She is currently an artist in Residence at The Brandywine Workshop. Last Rite is generously supported by a Leeway Foundation Art and Change Grant.
