Jayson Musson
A True Fiend's Weight
Known for his hilarious art world send-up YouTube video series Art Thoughtz, hosted by the artist's alter ego, Hennessy Youngman, Jayson Musson has recently made the leap into the world of abstract painting. However, the works that will be on view at Fleisher/Ollman are technically not paintings at all, but recycled Coogi sweaters mounted on stretchers and transformed into pictures. Coogi sweaters are wildly colored knit garments popularized in the 1980s by Bill Cosby and later, in the 1990s, by the rapper Notorious B.I.G. In Musson's hands, the so-called purity of abstraction collides with African-American popular culture. Simultaneously, Musson pushes the cultural significance of the Coogi brand toward an idealized abstraction. In this friction, the artist provides fresh avenues for us to think critically about abstract painting and its relationship to lived experience.
October 4th - December 1st, 2012
Felipe Jesus Consalvos
Exploded Whims
Fleisher/Ollman presents its third exhibition devoted to the work of the Cuban-American artist Felipe Jesus Consalvos, curated by Jasmin Tsou, owner and director of JTT, New York. The exhibition will focus on decoding the images and language found within Consalvos’s cryptic work, incorporating possible source materials, vintage advertisements, photographs, and Masonic artifacts. Born outside Havana in 1891, Consalvos immigrated to the United States around 1920. Engaging head-on with American popular culture through the lens of an anthropologist/outsider, Consalvos’s collages also explore more arcane images from American history, including the symbolic universe of the Masonic order.

Billy and Steven Dufala
F
Fleisher/Ollman is pleased to announce F, Steven and Billy Dufala's second solo exhibition with the gallery.
Brothers and artistic collaborators, Steven and Billy Dufala are engaged in a practice that is marked by a fearless embrace of new techniques and commitment to experimentation. Beautifully crafted abstract and representational drawings, paintings, sculptures and installations are often an emotional response to material, process and environment. Consumption, efficiency, cliche, and failure are investigated through humor and exaggeration. On view in this exhibition will be small and large-scale graphite drawings and watercolors that are in dialogue with singular sculptures and a site-specific installation.

Paul Swenbeck
Dor and Oranur
For his third exhibition at the gallery, Paul Swenbeck presents Dor and Oranor, comprised of two sculptural tableaux of a prehistoric drama. On the largest "stage" in the main gallery, ceramic works that appear more flora than fauna are engaged in a symbolic battle for life. Otherworldly in color and form with towering stems and spindly tendrils, these predatory animals are easily confused for flowering, alien-like plants. Adjacent to this main installation, the artist will install a cave-like ritual space that might belong to man's earliest ancestors. Orange and blue lighting and a sound piece created in collaboration with Aaron Igler add to the strange and dramatic atmosphere of the installation. With darkness and humor, Swenbeck evokes life's energy and cycles in the most ambitious installation of his work to date.
Joan Nelson
Joan Nelson is well known for her paintings that incorporate multiple pictorial landscape traditions and pay homage to and borrow from artists such as Albrecht Altdorfer, Albert Bierstadt, George Caleb Bingham and Casper David Friedrich. Occupying a unique place in the long history of landscape painting, Nelson's works simultaneously speak to the experience of landscape and the complexity of representation, artfully incorporating reality, memory and mediated experience.
At Fleisher/Ollman, fifteen works from a series of constructions or boxes that have never before been exhibited will be on view. Initially inspired by Salvador Dali's 1934 work, The Little Theater, Nelson began to push her paintings further into the realm of objects by exaggerating space by separating parts of the landscape onto different planes. Using the folk art tradition of reverse painting on glass, Nelson embraces the surprise and inventive nature of this technique as she depicts a cave, grove of trees, cold stream or lush field. Each work is comprised of up to six layers of glass that are housed within a homemade wooden box, itself painted and considered. Inside the boxes, Nelson completes the dioramas by stashing various trinkets and souvenirs such as moss, rocks, sticks, glitter, toys, glass ornaments and beads, and mirrors. The resulting works are gem-like, mysterious and infinite, despite their intimate scale.
October 19th - December 11th, 2011
Things That Do
A group exhibition with Philadelphia Wireman, Emery Blagdon, and African power objects
September 8th - October 15th, 2011
Nick Paparone
Accents for the Self-Made Man
Nick Paparone's Accents for the Self-Made Man is the second iteration of an evolving work that anatomizes the "branding" of persona in the current American moment. Working with the systems of mass culture and marketplace, Paparone isolates various signs, objects, opportunities and attitudes in an exhibition that is complete with goods, marketing collateral and a series of PowerPoint presentations.
Dan Murphy
Dan Murphy is a self-taught Philadelphia artist whose poetic visual practice encompasses making, collecting, cataloguing and presenting. This exhibition at Fleisher/Ollman will include found objects, along side a selection of photographs, collages and assemblages. The images and objects have in common one primary thing-- that they meet the artist's idiosyncratic criteria for "perfection" and are on exhibition so that they will not be overlooked. Partially challenging the idea of ownership, Murphy often photographs or remakes desirable or distanced objects so that he is able to revisit and recontextualize them in a way that their creators or owners could never imagine.

The usefulness of useless things
“I am not going to do anything useful anymore, I do not want to, I cannot, so I will do useless things. All of sudden, a new world opened up for me.” -Janette Laverrière (1909-2011), from an interview with Vivian Rehberg, 2009)
Around the age of eighty, after more than sixty years as a designer, Janette Laverrière began making “useless things.” This exhibition examines five artists-Laverriere, Michel Auder, Guy de Cointent, Stefanie Victor and Eugene Von Bruenchenhein- who re-invent, re-imagine, and re-purpose the use, meaning and worth of functional objects in daily life and domestic space. The result of these endeavors often begins with the implication of a utilitarian object: a vessel, a newspaper, a handkerchief, a mirror. However, these objects change from implying a use we know to registering as “useless” or non-functional, acquiring a new use dictated by the artist.
the usefulness of useless things is curated by Jonathan Berger and will include significant works by the participating artists as well as historical ephemera related to their various practices.
February 24th - March 26th, 2011
Bill Walton
Sculptures
Fleisher/Ollman is very pleased to announce an exhibition of sculptures by the late artist Bill Walton. This exhibition surveys wall and floor works made from the artist's spare vocabulary of basic materials and subtle interventions.
January 20th - February 19th, 2011
Off Camera
Off Camera surveys photographic works that have been drawn on or painted, animated, collaged or made into sculpture. The exhibition includes a wide range of artists who set aside photography’s conventions, instead relying on invention when the media or the world does not meet expectations.
Participating artists include: Felipe Jesus Consalvos, Anthony Campuzano, Micah Danges, Lee Godie, Oliver Herring, Jessica Mein, Dan Murphy, Joe "40,000" Murphy, Brion Nuda Rosch, Virginia Poundstone, Martina Sauter, Miroslav Tichy, Isaac Tin Wei Lin, Letha Wilson, May Wilson, John Wood, Amelie von Wulffen.
December 9th, 2010 - January 15th, 2011
Lee Arnold, Sarah Gamble, Andrew Gbur
Lee Arnold often uses systems or processes to approach sublime imagery. While his output is rather ordered, the subject material is oppositely emotional or romantic (mountains, the sea, shadows, travel). For example, the 204 images that make up the large-scale piece Shadows (1:15 - 4:36pm, June 16, 2010) are captured using a pinhole camera. The artist allows the parameters of the medium and mechanics of the device to poetically capture momentary shifts in shadows across pavement. Alternatively, the hand of the artist is evident in Flags, but the forms and colors are dictated by the symbols found on international maritime flags.
Sarah Gamble's intuitive mark-making is guided by a personal aesthetic vision that reveals an animistic landscape, where non-sequitur logic and non-linear thoughts create gray areas between fact and fiction. Raw color, sinewy lines and murky, abstracted forms expose imagined communication, time travel, paranoid evaluations and investigations. For example, Gamble's painting Magic Brain depicts a disembodied brain floating in nature, perhaps caught in the moment of its abduction.
Andrew Gbur's works are often graphic, formal and flat and contain, among other things, obscure imagery, replicas of stripes and monochromatic passages of bold color. The artist counts among his varied interests the concept of haecceity, reproductions and originals, duration, space, the history of image-making, elusive counter-culture characters and music. Two new large monolithic canvases covered with grip-tape dominate the walls, as well as a bright yellow "screen printed" floor piece that mimics the architecture of Gbur's studio.
September 23rd - November 27th, 2010
Four Decades
Fleisher/Ollman is pleased to announce Four Decades, organized on the occasion of gallerist John Ollman's 40th Anniversary at Fleisher/Ollman. Four Decades will feature a diverse group of works by numerous artists, each selected by Ollman, reflecting the gallery's extensive and unique exhibition history which ranges from ethnographic, folk, and self-taught, to contemporary art.
September 9th - September 10th, 2010
Your Swimming Brain
Using video/slide/overhead/shadow/homemade projectors and stereos/boom boxes, local and regional artists projected videos, images and sounds onto the walls, ceilings and floors of Fleisher/Ollman's gallery space. A chaotic critical mass will grow into a powerful and lively synthesis of multi-directional, yet simultaneous imagery and sound.
June 17th - August 20th, 2010
John J. O'Connor
C'OD(e)R
Fleisher/Ollman is pleased to present drawings, paintings, collages and select sculptures by John J. O'Connor.
John J. O'Connor creates works that meander through a complex course. From a starting point in personal data (the artist's weight), chance (the roll of a die or winning lottery numbers) or statistics (the largest peaks and falls in the history of the U.S. stock market, or results from a Gallup poll concerning public confidence in the government), O'Connor's works, made from graphite, colored pencil, paint and found materials, are composites of quirky decisions, seemingly illogical tangents and obscure codes that end in a practice that is as much an homage to visualizing information as it is to pure abstraction. While giving form to formless information and pattern to seemingly patternless data, the artist simultaneously gives abstract mark-making some quantitative and measurable meaning.
Kate Abercrombie
making, joining and repairing
Also on view will be intimate, patterned goauche paintings on paper and a wall-sized digital print by Kate Abercrombie.
Often using the basic warp and weft structure of the weaver's loom as an anchor for her compositions, the artist lays down repeating geometric shapes to dissolve the rigid axis from which she works. A reference to printed fabric, the shapes comply with the patterns beneath while subversively overshadowing their presence. In select works, quirky imagery, inspired by Alexander Girard's collection of toys, dolls, and religious folk art, are formed through slight tonal shifts in color. In others, the shallow surface remains purely abstract, bringing to mind the complex pattern repeats made possible by grids of pixels. Though carefully built upon the organizing principles of geometry, nothing in Abercrombie's work seems to stay put for very long; the images and compositions maintain a fluctuating, fugitive presence, dissolving just as quickly as they appear.
May 6th - June 12th, 2010
Anthony Campuzano
All Right-Still!
All Right-Still! is Anthony Campuzano's third solo exhibition at Fleisher/Ollman. Referencing past work, the studio practice, lessons learned, artistic folklore, and personal sources of inspiration (music, newspaper headlines), the artist undertakes a monumental investigation into looking and making through various artistic tropes and frameworks. A new work completed in 2010 and entitled, Studio Soul Scene Circa Two Thousand and Eight, is a drawing inspired by a photograph of Campuzano's studio. A sculptural work, Unpainted Painted Sculpture, comments on how Clement Greenberg imposed his will on David Smith's painted sculptures through neglect. Another work pays homage to Campuzano's former drawing teacher, Elena Sisto, the Spanish artist Juan Gris and his 1919 portrait of the poet Max Jacob, now in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art.
Jennifer Levonian
Her Slip is Showing
For her first solo show with Fleisher/Ollman, the artist debuts two new animations and a series of watercolors used in their making. Buffalo Milk Yogurt features a man who has a nervous breakdown in a gourmet supermarket while a naked woman practices yoga in a display of fall pumpkins. The piece is accompanied by an original soundtrack by Corey Fogel, a multimedia musician and performance artist based in Los Angeles. Her Slip is Showing uses the mundane ritual of a bridal shower to touch on gender roles, social awkwardness and evolving relationships. Her Slip is Showing features music by Nathan Parker Smith as well as text by poet Polly Pauley.
March 31st - May 1st, 2010
Annabeth Rosen: Contingency
Meiling Hom: Yun Nan = Southern Clouds
Paul Swenbeck: Shaker Legend-trip
Fleisher/Ollman presents work by three artists for whom clay plays a central role in their artistic practices. Annabeth Rosen builds complex organic works out of thousands of individually hand-crafted ceramic pieces of varying size, shape, color and pattern. Mei-Ling Hom’s new ceramic work, made in North Carolina with self-taught potter Dan Johnston, continues her ongoing contemplation of cloud imagery and metaphor. Paul Swenbeck will present an installation of ceramic sculptures that will take viewers to various sites of folklore, magic, and belief, from the Salem witch trials to places of Wiccan practice.
February 25th - March 27th, 2010
Luis Romero
Nameless and Reverberating
Fleisher/Ollman is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new drawings, collages and constructions by Chicago artist, Luis Romero.
Romero's flat works, mostly graphite and pen on paper, betray an interest in visual contradiction. Empty surfaces give way to false depth and concentrated lines appear to form tangible shapes. While demonstrating Romero's awareness to Op Art and modernist formalism, these drawings are equally grounded in a personal mark-making practice.
On view as a complement to Romero's work will be a selection of small collages by Ray Yoshida, a central figure in the visual arts of Chicago, a mentor and friend to the Chicago Imagists, and, of particular relevance, Romero's teacher at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
January 21st - February 16th, 2010
Isaac Lin
A Place Near Here
Fleisher/Ollman is very pleased to announce Isaac Tin Wei Lin's solo exhibition, A Place Near Here, which includes new two- and three-dimensional works, as well as collaborative pieces created by Lin and 25 fellow artists.
Lin is as influenced by his Chinese heritage (he is the first of his family to be born in the United States) as he is by American street and popular culture. In A Place Near Here, the artist continues his exploration of multiplicity and interstices. The works, a frenzy of calligraphic-like pattern, musical notation, cartoon cut-outs, and bright color, span traditional categories of painting, printmaking, assemblage, collage, sculpture and installation. The artist's repetitive mark-making, inspired by such things as Xi'an terracotta soldiers, ant colonies, and the artist's training in Mandarin Chinese, where for homework vocabulary words were written over and over, creates meaning and space through accumulation.
Don Colley
Cascade
Chicago-based noir artist, Don Colley, transforms the gallery's window with an installation of his print work.
December 10th, 2009 - January 16th, 2010
I Don't Watch the Internet
Fleisher/Ollman is pleased to present I Don't Watch the Internet, a group exhibition featuring nine Philadelphia artists: Gabriel Boyce, Cari Freno, Jordan Griska, Jay Hardman, John Broderick Heron, James Johnson, Sarah Laina Koljonen, Sebastien Leclercq and Ashley John Pigford.
October 15th - December 5th, 2009
Back to Earth: Revisiting Magiciens de la Terre
Reception: Saturday, October 17, 2-5pm
Our season opens with an homage to John Ollman's favorite exhibition, Magiciens de la Terre, the 1989 exhibition organized by Jean-Hubert Martin and presented at the Centre Georges Pompidou and the Grand Halle at the Parc de la Villette. Our tribute will be akin to the original exhibition format and include equal numbers of artists from the "centers" and from the "margins."
June 18th - August 29th, 2009
Frenz
Fleisher/Ollman is pleased to announce an exhibition of works selected by Will Oldham, the prolific singer-songwriter who most often records and performs under the moniker Bonnie Prince Billy. Frenz, on view June 18 through the end of the summer, will include the work of artists: Shary Boyle, Able Brown, Lori Damiano, Kyle Field, Jill Gallenstein, Sammy Harkham, Alan Licht, Ashley Macomber, Joanne Oldham, Leslie Shows and Spencer Sweeney.
May 14th - June 13th, 2009
Paul Swenbeck and Tristin Lowe
Mocha Dick in the Invisible World
Tristin Lowe and Paul Swenbeck share a common vantage point inspired by Yankee ingenuity and a love of the disappearing natural world. Lowe continues his work in felt, making the mundane detrius of casual consumption into a ghost shadow of inscrutable beauty. For his part, Swenbeck creates ceramics and metallic alien plant forms that grow into the unused corners of the gallery. This show presents a phantasmagora of ideas-from ghost nets filled with the flotsam and jetsam of extinct specis, to magic circle still-life, to science fiction birth allegories-taking the two artists and viewers across boundaries of hope and believability.
April 9th - May 9th, 2009
Bruce Pollock
Figure
The exhibition of new work by Bruce Pollock includes paintings which use geometric patterning in shifting levels of scale to explore color, luminosity and infinite space, and a new ink drawing that diagrams the transformation of geometric figures over its 20 foot length.
February 27th - March 28th, 2009
Steven and Billy Blaise Dufala
Trophy
Steven and Billy Blaise Dufala, artists, collaborators, and brothers, will have their first solo show at the gallery, Trophy, which explores the "piles of things we no longer need," that are discarded en masse, and those things that we value unnecessarily and perhaps, with unnatural fervor. The concepts of use-value, sentimentality, exaggeration, and shelf-life, among others are explored though a darkly humorous and trash-picked lens. Steven was a founding member of the experimental, performative band, Man Man, in which Billy currently plays flute and saxaphone. In 2008, they were named as one of ten finalists for the West Prize.
January 22nd - February 21st, 2009
Rich Text
"Rich Text" opens on Thursday, January 22 with a reception at the gallery from 6pm to 9pm, and will be on view through February 21, 2009. The show includes work from contemporary artists whose use of text varies from single words to involved narratives, anti-aesthetic to highly designed, powerfully specific to poetic and nonsensical. In some cases, text retains its communicative power, while in others, it dissolves into form and object, blurring the line between looking and reading. The artists featured in the exhibition include Conrad Bakker, Mel Bochner, Natasha Bowdoin, Anthony Campuzano, Alex Da Corte, John Evans, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Mark Lombardi, Mark Mahosky, Jayson Musson, John O'Connor, Justin Quinn, Trevor Reese, Isaac Resnikoff, Kay Rosen, Josh Shaddock, Jack Sloss, Bob and Roberta Smith, Jina Valentine, Wayne White and Andrew Jeffrey Wright.

Pazia Mannella, Nick Paparone, Josh Rickards, Mark Stockton and Shawn Thornton. The show opens with a reception on Thursday, December 11, from 6 to 9PM.
October 10th - December 6th, 2008
Castle in Context
Fleisher/Ollman Gallery is pleased to announce the first exhibition of the gallery's 2008–2009 season, "Castle in Context." As a counterpoint to norms of categorization and distinction, the exhibition places James Castle in the context of art historical discourse by enabling the viewer to connect the artist's soot-and-spit drawings and found-object constructions with the work of contemporaries, many of whose practices were (or are) firmly rooted in the art world. Castle, who was born profoundly deaf and never learned to speak, read or sign, remained isolated from these mainstream communitites.
This exhibition aims to complement the James Castle retrospective at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the first comprehensive museum exhibition of the artist's work.
