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!
