FOCUS ON: ART EDUCATION – GREENFIELD COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROJECT: COMMUNITY, INSPIRATION, ME
November 16 – December 18, 2010
Over the course of seven weeks this fall, Moore students in the Engaging Community course conducted after-school art workshops with 4th, 5th, and 6th graders from the Albert M. Greenfield Elementary School. They worked in five different groups to design and implement projects that would enable their Greenfield students to explore the concepts of Community and Inspiration in their own lives. Each of the working groups settled on a different metaphor and form for this exploration, the result of which you see in this show: a tree house, a body map, a kite, a chain of hands, and a tree.

JUDITH LEIBER – ART OF THE HANDBAG
September 10 – October 17, 2010
Judith Leiber is widely recognized as a major figure in handbag design, having created more than three thousand different motifs during a career spanning over thirty years. This exhibition, presented in conjunction with Moore’s 2010 Visionary Woman Awards, features twenty-five designs that highlight the breadth and range of Judith Leiber’s work including examples of early beaded bags from the 1970s to more recent creations from the 1990s. Leiber’s contributions to the design field are significant. Her designs transcend objects of utility to become objets d'art placing Leiber in an elite group of designers such as Lalique, Tiffany, and Cartier, creators of high quality products for public consumption that have come to be regarded as art. Judith Leiber retired from designing handbags in 1999, but the power of her vision and creativity continues to inspire and attract new generations of designers, aficionados and collectors. Leiber has received numerous awards and recognition for her work including being the first and only designer in her field to receive the Coty Award (1973) and receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council of Fashion Designers (1994). The exhibition is held in conjunction with Moore's 2010 Visionary Woman Awards.

WENDY EWALD - SECRET GAMES: COLLABORATIVE WORKS WITH CHILDREN 1969-1999
Chiapas, Mexico 1991, Graham Gallery: May 22 – September 4, 2010
Six projects 1969 – 1999, Goldie Paley Gallery: June 5 – October 16, 2010
Five projects 1992 – 1998, Levy Gallery: September 10 – October 16, 2010
In the early 1970s, Wendy Ewald was one of the early pioneers in investigating collaboration as part of her artistic practice. Starting as a documentary investigation of places and communities connected to teaching, Ewald's project has evolved over the years to focus on questions of identity and cultural difference working with artists and communities in the United States and throughout the world. In all of these projects, Ewald partners her observational and creative skills with her subjects' visual inventions, encouraging them to use cameras to create portraits of self and community, to articulate their own personal fantasies, dreams, and hopes, and to work directly with her in visual and verbal collaboration. Her early collaborations with children, a process called Literacy Through Photography, have become a model for curriculum that engages students through photography as a means of improving literacy skills and exploring issues of identity and cultural diversity. Ewald herself makes photographs, sometimes giving her negatives to collaborators to mark and write on, mixing the images in such a way that challenges who actually “created” a given image. In blurring the distinction of individual authorship and throwing into doubt the artist's identity, Ewald crosses the line that separates the photographer from the subject and creates a new artistic form. In an exhibition spread across three galleries over five months, Secret Games showcases the scope of Ewald’s work and the powerful results of her collaborations with children. The exhibition features approximately 150 photographs along with video installation and project documentation.
The original touring exhibition, Secret Games: Wendy Ewald Collaborative Works with Children, 1969-1999, was organized by the Addison Gallery of American Art, Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, and the Fotomuseum Winterthur, Switzerland. Highlights from the exhibition have been reassembled by Moore College of Art & Design in conjunction with the 2010 Visionary Women Awards and Moore's introduction of Ewald's Literacy Through Photography curriculum into select Philadelphia public schools in 2010-2011 as part of ArtsRising.
Literacy Through Photography in Philadelphia is supported by the William Penn Foundation. The presentation of the exhibition in Philadelphia is supported by The Honickman Foundation.

PHILAGRAFIKA 2010: THE GRAPHIC UNCONSCIOUS
The Galleries at Moore are one of five venues presenting the exhibition, The Graphic Unconscious in conjunction with Philagrafika 2010, Philadelphia’s international festival celebrating the print in contemporary art. Philagrafika 2010 will focus on artistic practices that engage the visual, intellectual and creative frontiers in printmaking and how these approaches relate to social and political issues in the public sphere.
The Graphic Unconscious, the core exhibition of the festival, is curated by José Roca, Philagrafika Artistic Director of Philagrafika 2010, with John Caperton, Curator of Prints and Photographs at the Print Center; Sheryl Conkelton, for Temple Gallery, Temple University; Shelley Langdale, Associate Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Philadelphia Museum of Art; Lorie Mertes, Director/Chief Curator of The Galleries at Moore College of Art & Design; and Julien Robson, Curator of Contemporary Art at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
On view at Moore College of Art & Design
The projects on view at Moore will highlight artists who employ printmaking in patterning and ornamentation of their work, drawing upon the college’s 160-year-long tradition of focus on the fine and applied arts of textile design, graphic design, interior architecture and fashion. The artists—Gunilla Klingberg (Sweden), Virgil Marti (Philadelphia), Paul Morrison (London), Betsabeé Romero (Mexico), and Regina Silveira (Brazil)—have created new works or re-imagined existing pieces that reflect the renewed interest in the creative potential of printmaking strategies traditionally used for patterning, wallpaper, and fabrics when applied to contemporary artistic practice. The environmentally scaled projects wrap walls, cover floors, and obscure windows, transforming the gallery spaces: Gunilla Klingberg’s patterned vinyl spans the windows across the college entrance; Betsabeé Romero’s imprinted tire tracks and carved tires line the walls of Graham Gallery; Regina Silveira’s bold patterns swarm across the floors and climb the walls of the Goldie Paley Gallery; Virgil Marti’s reflective wallpaper illuminates the Window on Race Street by day and night; and Paul Morrison’s 40-foot-long boldly graphic outdoor mural extends the exhibition into the immediate community.
GUNILLA KLINGBERG: BRAND NEW VIEW
January 29 – April 11, 2010
In Brand New View, Gunilla Klingberg has covered the windows of the college entrance in bright orange vinyl patterns that illuminate the interior of the gallery with vivid patterned light. The large elaborate designs are composed of smaller logos and brands found in supermarkets that have been reconfigured into geometric abstractions that recall Moorish patterns and the designs of Persian carpets and eastern mandalas.
VIRGIL MARTI
January 29 – April 11, 2010
Virgil Marti’s window-gallery display of mirror balls, silver Mylar wallpaper, and faux fur is redolent with references to richly decorated Rococo interiors. The effect of silver and white and reflective surfaces creates a slick, cool environment that becomes more “chilling” when bones are revealed to be the underlying patterning in the wallpaper’s surface. The space is populated by floating specters as the image of the viewer is dematerialized into a thousand fragments by the multiple mirrored surfaces.
PAUL MORRISON: HAUSTORIUM
January 29, 2010 – ongoing (permanent installation)
20th Street Exterior Wall of Levy Gallery
Paul Morrison’s new work at Moore spans the height and length of the college’s 40-foot-long exterior wall. It incorporates found images of trees and shrubs culled from various sources from art history and popular culture that are manipulated, edited, and collaged together to create an oddly populated landscape growing out of the cracks in the sidewalk along 20th Street. A single large tulip springs out in the foreground, a hopeful reminder of the spring yet to come and the persistence of nature.
BETSABEE ROMERO: GETTING ALWAYS INTO ANOTHER JAIL
January 29 – April 11, 2010
In Mexico City, tires on public transportation vehicles are used well past the absence of any tread, which causes many of the city’s automobile crashes. For her project at Moore, Betsabeé Romero reclaimed these used tires that have caused so many disasters and carved into them, retreading them with images of species of birds native to various countries. The birds take symbolic flight across the walls and ceiling of the gallery on an imprint of the tread that extends from each tire on long sheets of translucent paper that span the height and length of the gallery.
REGINA SILVEIRA: MUNDUS ADMIRABILIS AND OTHER PLAGUES
January 29 – April 11, 2010
In Regina Silveira’s Mundus Admirabilis and Other Plagues, vinyl is incorporated along with screenprinting on porcelain and embroidery on fabric. The installation invokes the mythology of biblical plagues. Instead of locusts, hail, or pestilence, Silveira uses a domestic setting invaded by common pests to suggest that the plagues in our own time are the images that contaminate our everyday existence: crime and violence, degradation of the environment, corruption, and other ills that invade our lives and psyches.
ELEMENTAL / ORNAMENTAL
January 16 – March 3, 2010
Transcendence through abstraction and form is the focus of these works in a variety of media by Moore Alumnae Jill Bonovitz ’71, Mary Judge ’75 and Deborah Warner ’69. The show features fragile translucent vessels and wire sculptures by Jill Bonovitz, mesmerizing traces of ink on handmade paper by Mary Judge and poetic fragments of memory and place embedded in encaustic by Deborah Warner. Fluidity between form and meaning is evident in each of the artist’s working process and the elemental aspects of their chosen media. Curated by Lorie Mertes, Rochelle F. Levy Director and Chief Curator.
FOCUS ON: ILLUSTRATIVE PORTRAITURE
January 15 – February 15, 2010
