Lots of zine submissions this morning! These are two drawings I submitted

Winter UPdate

2011-02-09T20:13:00.000-08:00

So much is changing on my website these days! Lots of new art will be added from 2010 to my site, and perhaps my blog will be moving to wordpress?!?!?! probably!

I have had lots of time to post in my tumblr of all the things that inspire/influence me. I also think it is time to start a new sketchbook (IRL!).

I have drawings up at 1601, (a bar at 10th and Tasker!) thanks to Mark Price. I have 4 hearts in the HEART Show at Storage Space (1414 S. Darien St.) this Friday Feb. 11 at 6pm. AND something super fun is happening at Cha Cha'razzi (1918 S. Bancroft St.) on Saturday Feb. 12 at 8pm...The Magnetic Fields 69 Love Songs are going to be performed in their entirety! With a different guest singer for EACH SONG! I will be performing "Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side"!!!!! So much fun art stuff is happening even in the coldest of months here in Philadelphia, and it's VERY motivating and exciting indeed.

Also this winter I have been BAKING UP A STORM. Baking up a SNOW Storm! (NO PLEASE NO MORE SNOW)... Some of the successful recipes include fig pecan scones. Today I made these cookies and they turned out ok! I put brown rice syrup sweetened chocolate chips in them which was a really good idea. Speaking of baked goods...I have been off refined sugars for over a month now. I usually bake with maple syrup/sugar or honey. (I'm not 100% off, but I'm doing extremely well with how addicted to sugar my brain is)

Last but not least I was looking through my flickr favorites and saw that there have been 1,127 views of my tattoo on Liam's flickr! WHAT! And here's one of my favorites...a portrait of Zoe Strauss taken by a neighborhood boy. That POSE!

So Nice To Finally EAT You

2010-11-11T14:59:00.000-08:00

OPEN CALL!
So Nice To Finally EAT You
S. N. T. F. M. Y. Issue #2
A FOOD ZINE

In May 2007 the Mail Art Collective was created to help people correspond with others and show their art to others all over the world. At the end of its success in October 2008 a zine of art from artists who participated in the Mail Art Collective called "So Nice To Finally Meet You" was created. S.N.T.F.M.Y. was released in March 2009, an edition of 100, and has sold all over the world and was noted by the Philadelphia City Paper.

It's now 2 years later, and I believe it is time for Issue #2. And what better topic than FOOD?!
"So Nice To Finally Eat You" is now accepting submissions. The due date for submissions is December 31, 2010.
I'm looking for food stories, reviews, recipes, photos, drawings, comics and whatever you think would be perfect for this type of zine! The zine will be printed in one color but if you have an idea for something color, please tell me, we can work something out. When do we eat? Well, the release date is Late Winter/Early Spring 2011 accompanied by a zine release party potluck. Stay Tuned...

Please email kingsley.quigley@gmail.com with all submissions and questions
OR
Mail your submissions to:

From Improv to Performance

2010-05-20T12:06:00.001-07:00

As some of you knooooww.... I am currently an artist in residence at AIRSpace at 40th Street Studios. In return for free studio space I have been teaching an improv movement class for adults since late September 2009. It is reaching the end (only 2 more classes!) so WHY NOT HAVE A PERFORMANCE?!!?!?!

I invite you to come see what my "students" have gained from doing improv movement excersizes and working together to create movement and performances.

On May 25th at 6pm a group of performers will come to the Rotunda, be split into groups, be given a list of rules or a RECIPE to create a dance... They are given the needed props, costumes and music to do so....IN AN HOUR AND A HALF.

This is where you come in.... the audience comes in at 7:30pm. The performers will then present to you the movement they just created in that amount of time. All performed to live music by Dave Lackner & "More Than" Friends!!!!

price? FREE!
Time ....Doors at 7:30, Performance at 7:45
Followed by a video of past improv performances
AND AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION!!!!

We hope you can make it out and check out the art of improv movement. Help us celebrate the time we have had together, creating art and dance.

Carmina Burana

2010-03-15T13:42:00.001-07:00

I went to see Carmina Burana at the Academy of Music last week (with some great friends) which was choreographed by Matthew Neenan. and....IT WAS INCREDIBLE. if you ever have the chance to see this ballet, DO IT. Ballet never looked so good.
It makes me very excited to see more performances in my life. The Academy of Music is also one of the best venues to see dance in Philadelphia. It also makes me excited to continue taking ballet and dancing for the rest of my life!

At 40th St. AIRSpace we had a small group show for the UPenn Arts Crawl.
Above shown (clockwise from top left) is Beth Uzwiak's paper mache heart. Everyone got to take a wack at it (blindfolded of course) and when her heart was finally broken it was full of candy and break up notes. Some funny, some too sad and real. Vinson Houston's installation was part performance. Ricardo Zapata (part of the ArtsEdge residency) "Soul Dire Up". Glen Sacks did an installation that looked like a real boy was sitting there when you first walked in. About homeless teens in the city. I showed three new paintings that have counterparts that are works in progress. "8 Months", "We're All Connected" and "I am Willing to Let Go".

(Improv) Movement Class is still every monday from 7-9 at the Rotunda.
New dates for 2010 will be posted at the end of this month.

Dance on Video Show

2009-07-07T05:03:00.000-07:00

"No One Is Leaving" and "You Obviously Know What I’m Talking About", two new dance on video shorts I have been working on are going to be shown at the Filmtech School at 8 pm on Sunday July 12th : 2019 S. Juniper St. 2nd Floor : Philadelphia, PA 19148 : FREE!!!!!

"After an unexpected blackout and a cancellation of the last event, we are back. This time we have an exciting new partner, The Filmtech School in South Philly. They’ve been extremely generous and have offered their amazing building for our screening. On Sunday July 12^th at 8pm, you can escape from the humidity and heat and come hang out at the Filmtech School in South Philly. There you will find the cool breeze of the air conditioner, lots of space to stretch, and free popcorn! To make your evening even more enjoyable we’ve selected 8 short dance films that will take your breath away. You will see documentaries, mockumentaries, performances, and even a YouTube special. Four of the shorts are from internationally acclaimed choreographers showing fully produced, breathtaking images, from films that make fun of a sleep clinic to abstract choreographic treats, you’ll see incredible movement, and camera staging.

The four other movies are not to be missed either. Made by local Philadelphia artists, you’ll see a film made in the Swiss Alps that plays with rhythm, song and images, an excerpt of an experimental improvisational live performance, two student made films one a documentary on dance and technology in Drexel University, and a beautifully shot piece from Swarthmore College."

Offerings

2009-06-28T19:24:00.000-07:00

past shows:

"21 groups of artists who participated in Offerings, a gigantic mega-collaboration that brought together 80 Philadelphia artists, placed them in groups of 4 with people they didn’t know or had never worked with, told them they couldn’t spend more than 50 bucks, and turned them loose to create work for our gallery. Actually, we started with 84 artists and ended up with about 72 that actually stuck with the project until the end. I think that’s a pretty good rate of retention considering how frustrating and difficult it can be to work with and agree with other humans!"

(Above images of my group project from "Offerings".
I worked with Aliene de Souza Howell and Nora Humpage)
