Hours? We don’t need no stinkin’ hours: Art Opening
Posted by derek in Monday, December 15th 2008

Dude, let’s have an Art Show Opening. That’s what Studio 27.28 said a while back and look what a fine job they’ve done for themselves and any members of the Philadelphia community at large who would enjoy taking a artific ponder at the productions of three gentlemen: Jonathan Wakuda Fischer, Ralph Stollenwerk, and Mathew Cole.

Studio 27.28’s current gallery display began with a grand opening on December 6 and runs through December 28. Attendance is free for everyone and all ages are welcome.

As a perfectly untrained art observer, it seems to me that there may be some pretty cool pieces there. While Mr. Fischer does traditional canvas painting, you can also see Mr. Stollenwerk’s art applied to wood panel, and Mr. Cole’s to tree trunks. Don’t take my word for it. The gallery is posted on Studio 27.28’s website here (studio2728.com). See the pieces for yourself. Buy them online if you want to, though the trip to see them in reality is probably worth the effort.

Judging from MySpace entries. Some might say this is the best studio in town. Hours are by chance, or by appointment Monday through Friday, 3 PM to 7 PM. By chance? Hmm. So…do you feel lucky? Well, do ya? Punk? Sorry sorry sorry. My little Dirty Harry flashback has absolutely no business showing itself in the midst of an art column. At least it wasn’t like last week, when I was fixated on Andy Williams.

Though they have managed to cleverly disguise the location of the studio and it has absolutely no connection to the name, Studio 27.28 can be found at 2728 Girard Avenue in Philadelphia. Get thee hence immediately!

You young hipsters might find this hard to believe, but there was a time before art began to appear on what has become The Bog Art Wall. Urban legend has it that Jonathan K. Slingluff was the first artist to exhibit at the Scranton bar. Back then, we called him Skip. Ah, but that was when we knew what to call everyone who walked in or out of The Bog. Before Test Pattern came and went and well before Skip moved to Philadelphia and got married and opened his own gallery, Studio 2728.

OK, so maybe we're getting a little carried away here. It's only been two years this month that Skip skipped town. And yes, he did have a show at Vida Tapas Bar and Grill last year. But this winter will be the first time in four years since he's shown at The Bog and, by golly, it warms our guts.

Situated six blocks from the zoo and two blocks from "gang banger heaven," Studio 2728 is technically located in Philly's art museum section, Slingluff informed. It has hosted six exhibit openings in the past seven months, picking up where the influential Lineage Gallery left off by showing primarily West Coast artists. Shows are currently booked through December 2010.

Slingluff's most recent photography has focused largely on a series of hopeful porn actresses/models. It's his paintings that will hang at The Bog this month, however.

"I've been creating painting for a wall, in that there is an argyle pattern, almost a wallpaper pattern with a piece of artwork placed on that pattern. That's what I've been trying to mimic," he said.

no recount, no bullshit.

today is a better day then yesterday for so many
reasons. it's a better day for not just our country
but for the world and democracy. for the first time
in eight years and one day I feel proud to be apart
of America, to be an American. yes today is a better
day then the yesterdays.
