Instead of a booth at a convention center, Elsewhere invites gallerists to use the intimate hotel rooms, hallways, and even bathrooms to display paintings, sculptures, textiles, and multimedia works that span the contemporary art field.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Here\u2019s a (small!) sample of the participating artists on view through June 6. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Qualeasha Wood, Philadelphia <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The Long Branch-raised textile artist (a favorite of Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz) has lived and worked in Philadelphia since 2023. Wood\u2019s tapestries and tufted rugs focus on her experiences as a queer Black woman on the internet. So they often depict computer screens, social media posts, and many selfies. New York art dealer and philosopher Darla Migan presents one of Wood\u2019s 2025 pieces titled <i>slow n steady<\/i>, a jacquard woven tapestry with rhinestones on archival paper.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Emmanuel Massillon, Washington, DC, and New York<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Named to Forbes\u2019 30 under 30 this year, Massillon is known for sculptures, paintings, and performance art that combine traditional African symbols with modern societal critiques of racism. That includes sticking needles into a statue to reference the unethical Tuskegee syphilis study, when Black men from the South were subjected to medical experimentation without their knowledge or consent. On the stairwell at Yowie, London\u2019s Harlesden High Street gallery displays two of Massillon\u2019s striking African masks, their faces riddled with bullet shells as a symbolic depiction of gun violence.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Pitseolak Qimirpik, Canada<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>A collection of small and fascinating stone sculptures come from Qimirpik, an Inuit artist based in Kinngait in northern Canada. He carves designs into dark green serpentinite and incorporates acrylic paint and antlers from caribou. The results are delightful portrayals of animals and spirits from Inuit mythology and culture, like <i>Anaconda<\/i> and <i>Wolf &amp; Bird Transformation<\/i>. Qimirpik\u2019s pieces adorn a bright red table presented by New York gallery Trotter &amp; Sholer.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=545\">School board culture wars caused the most upheaval in purple districts, a new study finds<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Emily Blair Quinn, Kansas City, KS <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>This Kansas-based artist investigates womanhood, beauty standards, and whiteness with a special focus on dolls and figurines from Victorian and Gilded Age eras. The room from 5-50 Gallery is full of her big paintings and tiny sculptures. The multicolored figurines are cute upon first glance, but looking closer reveals something unsettling: trapped inside the princess-shaped resin are porcelain dolls staring back at the viewer. Quinn\u2019s paintings are like horror scenes that show some figurine\u2019s faces up-close. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Melanie Delach, New York<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Delach is from Long Island and lives in Queens, but she credits much of her artistic foundation to her time in Philadelphia, when she studied at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. From Los Angeles-based Feia gallery, Delach\u2019s drawings \u2014 primarily colored pencil and marker on paper \u2014 are enchanting and otherworldly. She\u2019s especially interested in hands, whether stretching or touching or gathering, in pieces with lyrical titles like <i>A touching you didn\u2019t know existed<\/i> and <i>A world where dreams collide<\/i>. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><i>Elsewhere runs through June 6 at Yowie Hotel, 226 South St., Philadelphia, Pa., 19147, <\/i><i>elsewhere-fair.com<\/i><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=543\">\ud83d\udc15 A day out of the shelter | Morning Newsletter<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Queen Village&#8217;s Yowie Hotel is hosting the Elsewhere art fair, which has filled its rooms, hallways, and even bathrooms with some great art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":548,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Philly\u2019s new contemporary art fair is running out of hotel rooms.
