of themes — from animals threatened with extinction to soldiers enduring the vicissitudes of service in zones of deadly combat. An especially interesting group of important pieces dealt with historically significant tableaux illuminating life experienced by prisoners and civilians at Eastern State Penitentiary. Yet another fascinating group of sculptures was dedicated to renderings of boys and girls passing through their teenage years. Most recently, her efforts have been tuned in to closeups on everyday life in the local region. Chris Schmidt, her gallerist in the Rittenhouse Square vicinity, has observed, “Hagen’s work affords spectators a rare insight into the local ecosystem and the challenges it presents to those who are surrounded by it.” “Furthermore,” he adds, “the mythology of the immediate region and the heroic struggle of people to carry on within their world makes up Please see Susan Hagen on A25

the core of her latest focus of attention.” In a curious kind of way, I think Hagen’s art brings the plays of the Russian dramatist Anton Chekhov to mind. Like him, she presents various believable human characters. They are deeply touched by situations that stretch their capacities for responding to circumstances over which they have minimal control. Very much to her credit, Hagen keeps her work free of cloying sentimentality and slick appeals to grossly popular taste. By exercising her own special touch over what she puts together, Hagen brings a continuity of concern to areas of expression that have a long history. Typically, one finds precedents for her sense of “Susan Hagen: compasSocial Studies” sionate is showing at humanism the Center for Art in Wood, 141 N. 3rd St., in the art Philadelphia, PA 19106, of masters tions, she sees June 7 – July 20. as Goya, them primarily Hours: Tuesday Saturday, Courbet, as unique beings 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.; Daumier, Sunday & Monday, with features of van Gogh, closed.

From our earliest childhood years, we are all endlessly fascinated by the external appearance of other people and by their inner-directed capacity for dealing with unfolding events. For me, these universal facts of life shape the foundation of expressive form on which Hagen’s work is predicated. Together, they are sensitively perceived by her sympathetic awareness of the

Looking through the glass with Wheaton Arts
Glass art from Beth Lipman

rtists from Denver to Miami to Philadelphia will be represented in the Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center’s biennial “GlassWeekend” event on June 7. This is a multifaceted event. It aims to work as a fundraiser for the general advancement of glass work, and Wheaton Arts will use the proceeds to fund “fellowships” for budding and veteran artists alike. Simultaneously, this will be an unparalleled opportunity to meet glasswork artists and learn more about the craft. “GlassWeekend” is made up of various galleries, 14 in all, that come from coast to coast to participate in this event. The goal here is to exhibit as much work as possible that would normally require an extensive amount of travel — instead, it’s all pulled under one roof for the public’s viewing pleasure. As this is the center’s 30th anniversary, it has brought in three artists who specialize in this medium: Beth Lipman, Davide Salvadore and Hiroshi Yamano. These artists have their own unique approach toward their art. “They do demonstrations,

offering the public a chance to see them in action,” said Pamela Weichmann, the center’s program manager. “It provides a really intimate experience. You’re often only standing a
few feet away from the artists as they work, and if the artist is too busy to answer a question, we have staff nearby for just that reason.” Salvadore likes to design
and construct singular pieces that maintain a presence all their own. On the other hand, Lipman often constructs various pieces that she then puts together to form one piece.
“Her pieces are really more like assemblages than either Salvadore or Yamano’s works,” said Weichmann. One of her pieces, featured here, are various goblets, pitchers, a vase, a bowl of fruit and a candle. All of this sits atop a folded tablecloth — also done in glass. Yamano’s work has a refined approach. The man polishes each cut in stone, metal and glass smoother than Frank Sinatra on a Friday night. Each of these artists will have approximately 10 pieces, all for sale.

Design Advocacy Group grades new casino plans
T
he Design Advocacy Group won’t speak about the pros and cons of gambling, but it does want to speak out about where Philadelphia’s second casino should be located and what it should look like. In a statement, the group, which is called DAG, said that it is “unfortunate” that the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, which will make its final decision sometime next year at the earliest, required the applicants to supply so little information about the design of the six proposals for the second casino in Philadelphia. The 1,200 or so architects, planners and other members of DAG meet monthly fighting for and against proposals to change the city’s environment. The group was organized 10 years ago to advocate good planning. Discussion topics have ranged from digital billboards on East Market Street buildings to a master plan for allowing more public access to the Delaware River waterfront. Concerning the proposal to award a second casino license
in Philadelphia, DAG has strong opinions and the group gave the six proposed buildings and sites a report card with grades from A to F. The DAG statement began with the fact that the group does not take a position on gambling but that “the second Philadelphia casino can do more for the city than just provide income.” The statement continued that the casino could be “sited and designed in a way that will help us be an even more vibrant, walkable city for commerce, culture and urban living. For this to happen, good design must be part of the discussion from the outset.” Kiki Bolender, an architect who is chairman of DAG, spoke in front of the State Gaming Commission in three neighborhoods during its hearings about the six proposals. She explained that DAG graded the sites and the architecture based “on the information at hand.” This resulted in its report card. The favorite proposal of the DAG evaluation is one called “Market Eight,” at Eighth and Market Streets. It earned an A. She said, “It has even more going for it. It would be located at a multi-modal transit hub, with bus, subway, com-
muter rail, easy connections to Amtrak and the airport. It would fill a long vacant highvisibility site. “It would knit together the historic district, the Convention Center, and the retail and business districts of Center City, connecting the tourist city to the commercial city. And it would catalyze development on Chestnut and Market Streets, which are both underutilized today.” She added, “The gaming floors are lifted above the street level, which thus can accommodate an array of dining and shopping alternatives, and automobile pick-up/drop-off is diverted from busy Market Street to a new roadway that ducks under the casino to connect Eighth and Ninth streets. “Parking is (very commendably) underground. The hotel lobby is on the fifth floor, framed by rooftop gardens, above which rises a tower of guest rooms.” In addition, Bolender said the group liked the fact that the developer employed a “high-quality architect, Enrique Norten,” and presented
renderings of the proposal. She said the plans include a ground floor entirely devoted to shopping and dining. A sculpted glass skin “introduces something new to Philadelphia’s architecture.” This is to be topped in a later phase by a slender 10-story hotel tower. The DAG group also felt the location would add life to Market East and would fill in a gap in retail buildings that has long accommodated only a parking lot. Both Bolender and other DAG members said the positive factor of both Market East and Provence on North Broad Street is that the buildings will offer dining, shopping and other amenities, more than a typical gambling site and a series of rooms cut off from their surroundings. The second of the six proposals is called “The Provence,” located in the former Inquirer building. Bolender told the gaming commission that DAG feels it “stands in the reviving commercial and cultural corridor that stretches north toward Temple University from City
Hall, the Convention Center, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. “The development of this site is of greater importance for the future of the city than the urbanization of the parking lot jungle around the stadiums or the even filling in a piece of the long Delaware waterfront.” She continued, regarding the proposed casino: “A short walk from the Convention Center, it includes the landmark Inquirer Building at 400 North Broad, which the project would remodel as a small hotel.” The main façade of the casino complex is along Callowhill Street, where it would face the on-and-off ramps for the eastbound Vine Street Expressway rather than facing Broad Street. Bolender lauded the proposal, which includes “handsome landscaping” around the on and off ramps. Again, she said, DAG appreciates the fact that the proposal includes an array of dining and retail facilities. The Provence proposal, she said, rated B+ because it
didn’t give enough attention to energizing Broad Street. Concerning the other four proposals, Bolender said, “three South Philadelphia sites may benefit from being ‘out of sight, out of mind,’ but none inspire, and they may add to stadium area congestion. They get low to middle C’s.” “The Fishtown site gets a D. It promises to provide public parkland and an extension of the river trail, but we fear that the building design would keep these from becoming viable.” In conclusion, Bolender said, “DAG urges the Board to thoroughly scrutinize architecture and urban design as it chooses the best casino proposal for Philadelphia. Based on its analysis of the six proposed sites, DAG sees the most benefit to the city from the two Center City locations. Of these, Market Eight has so far demonstrated the most sensitive urban and architectural design.” Diane Fiske can be contacted at dfiske_19118@ yahoo.com.

This includes the work exhibited by the 14 participating galleries. A large part of what makes “GlassWeekend” itself unique is Wheaton Art’s focus on “fellowships.” “They’re largely what ‘GlassWeekend’ is all about,” said Weichmann. In partnership with the Creative Glass Center of America (CGCA), these fellowships offer 24-hour studio facilities and all the amenities that come with it. It includes things like housing and a stipend as well, giving them the opportunity to work wholly dedicated to their art for a substantial amount of time. “This gives artists either time to develop new work, or continue work on a former project that they might not have otherwise had,” said Weichmann. For many artists, this fellowship served as a

It will begin June 7 — on the 6th for those registered — and run through the 9th.
