About ‘The Panic in Needle Park’; “In the Dark Corner of the City, they found light.”www.projectedarts.org

This movie is a stark portrayal of life among a group of heroin addicts who hang out in “Needle Park” in New York City. Played against this setting is a low-key love story between Bobby (Al Pacino), a young addict and small-time hustler, and Helen (Kitty Winn), a homeless girl who finds in her relationship with Bobby the stability she craves. She becomes addicted too, and life goes downhill for them both as their addiction deepens, eventually leading to a series of betrayals. But, in spite of it all, the relationship between Bobby and Helen endures

Hey everybody: We know y’all are staring down a Valentine’s Day this year where there is a real chance that you will be broke and/or alone. For that reason, we have just booked our first-ever Enchantment Under The Sea Dance on Saturday, February 13th at 2424 Studios — based of course on the legendary dance held in the greatest American movie of the last 50 years, Back To The Future. There will be ocean-themed decorations; there will be (spiked) punch; there will be prom pictures; and if there’s a clock tower to be saved at midnight, you can bet we’re gonna try and save it. All in all, this will be a low-cost ADULT PROM that you can take your sweetie to (or find a new a one), and best of all, hot off the heels of their way-sold-out JB’s show, Philebrity Label’s own Blood Feathers will be the house band, playing old time rock ‘n’ roll, with a DJ spinning oldies in between sets. Who knows? Maybe even Marvin Berry will show up. Brought to you by Philebrity, Pabst Blue Ribbon and 2424 Studios.

The Rock Bass RainbowFest has officially been scheduled at the Skybox during the weekend of December the 11th. Prepare yourselves for two days of art, music, dance, party and questionably wholesome subversive recreation. The Fest will begin Friday the 11th and end in the evening of Saturday the 12th. Check their site for more details!

Jed Williams was born in Philadelphia, USA, in 1975 and brought up in Paris, France; he is a French and American dual citizen now based in Philadelphia, USA. He graduated from the University of the Arts (BFA in Painting and Drawing, 2000) and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (Certificate in Painting, 2005), both located in Philadelphia, and has been exhibiting his work in various venues ever since.

Jed works on his images in different kinds of media: oil paint, acrylic, mixed media; his art stems from a wish to blend a more formalist, expressionistic abstract tradition with a conceptual quest nourished by his interest in the human figure, pop and mythological culture, and different forms of spirituality.
The images Jed makes simultaneously stem from intense inner turmoil and wonder expressing itself in his fascination with certain objects, images and symbols, which he observes and works from. The objects, images and symbols he chooses to work from possess “loaded” meanings as well as symbolic societal and cultural connotations. He is juxtaposing and associating ciphers of meaning by physically bringing these objects, images and symbols together in seemingly illogical yet intellectually and culturally relevant ways, all the while creating his own personal semi-abstract painting style.

You can see some of Jed’s work, currently hanging on the first floor of 2424 Studios. More images of Jed’s work after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
