Sam Belkowitz and Micah Danges (Penn Photography Staff) Curate and Exhibit in Show at Little Berlin, Opening Saturday, November 7, 6:00 - 10:00
Sam Belkowitz, Penn's Photography Facilities Manager, has curated and will show in an exhibit called Heaven on Earth at Little Berlin Gallery in Philadelphia. The show includes Micah Danges, the MFA Photography Technician, among the eighteen participating artists. The show tackles the ambitious task of mining one’s search for utopia. In this exhibition, Belkowitz asks each artist: where do you find perfection? Are the ideals of utopia even possible or attainable? These works coalesce into an environment without limits at Little Berlin, providing the viewer with a series of vantage points from which to experience the paradoxical nature of utopian dreams.
This exhibition will include video, installation, painting, sculpture, and photography. Featured artists include: Sam Belkowitz, Helen Cahng, Michelle Chong, Micah Danges, Joy Feasley, Richard Harrod, Nadia Hironaka, M. Ho, Aaron Igler, Eugene Lew, Tristin Lowe, Jacob Lunderby, Naomi Reis, Josh Rickards, Mary Smull, Matthew Suib, Paul Swenbeck, Artie Vierkant, and Linda Yun.

VOX POPULI
Brent Wahl, Arrivals and Departures
The rise and fall of culture nestled within the resilient and morphing context of nature is the musing of this multimedia installation. Playing off of his frequent use of architecture, illusion, and ephemeral materials, Brent incorporates motion, surveillance, and sound in this exhibition. Based loosely on a distant variation of both the model of the zoetrope, created in China around 180 AD, and the magic lantern of 1558, the artist has made a simple looped environment with a loosely connected, but dark narrative. Like the prisoners described in Plato's Cave, observers are privy to projections of imagery on a wall. Instead of reality being shifted as it is cast as shadow, a partially fabricated view of history and nature is cast as reality. In the brief, one-minute journey to the soundtrack of tropical birds and a distant battle, we visit an anonymous mountain terrain, a desolate but seemingly magical forest, various military bunkers, and Le Corbusier’s Unite d’Habitation in Marseille.
