Happy Women's History Month! I'm thrilled to celebrate by highlighting The Village of Arts and Humanities, an amazing organization in Philadelphia that empowers the residents of the Fairhill-Hartranft neighborhood and supports the arts in the community on a much larger level. As someone who has had the pleasure of working with @thevillagephilly on numerous occasions and projects, I can't say enough about how much I enjoy collaborating with this dedicated group of people. Here's to celebrating women's contributions to history and supporting organizations like The Village that are making a difference in our communities.

“How to Cook a Wolf” at Metro Gallery 250

Philadelphia is a city of creatives, and Gabrielle Constantine is one of them. With her solo exhibition set to open on Friday, August 2nd, we had the opportunity to speak with Gabby about her new work, creative process, and the Philly art scene. Let’s dive in:

Metro Gallery: Where are you from? How long have you been in Philly?

GC: I grew up in Manyunk, moved to Bala Cynwood when I was 13, and went to Temple University. I now live in South Philly. Philadelphia has been my home for all 25 years of my life!

Metro Gallery: What did you study at Temple?

GC: I went to Tyler School of Art and double majored in Sculpture and Fibers and Material Studies.

Metro Gallery: How would you describe yourself as an artist?

GC: When people ask what type of work I make, I say installation art with a fibers background. That can mean a lot of things, but for me I think of it as interior design driven by a strong understanding and context of the material I ultimately decide to use. 

Metro Gallery: What was your inspiration for this show? What is your process like?

GC:  Technically I started working on this show almost 4 years ago. I was making similar sculptures to ones you’ll see in the show, but I didn’t know why I was making them or what the tone would be. Fiber artists get pigeonholed into a certain stereotype of knitting -- vagina imagery and the 1950s housewife -- and in the past I didn't want my work to be perceived as that. So, for a long time I was very adamant on making (what I thought) was genderless work. As a woman, a feminist, and an artist I think I still had to learn and grow from experiences I've had as all three in order to ingrain them into my practice. Specifically, a recent incident I was working through allowed me clarity to finally realize what these particular pieces were about. From there I compiled other work that I was hanging on to or photos I had that just made sense with the sculptures and built a show out of it. “How to Cook a Wolf” is about class, perceptions of wealth in America, identity, deconstructing whiteness — all themes of my past work. However the core of this show, and a new theme for me, is feminism. I am excited to share a new side of my work with people.

Metro Gallery: We’re excited too! Will any of your work be available for purchase?

GC: Yes! Everything will be for sale other than the piece made with my grandmother’s scarves. I think this is the first show that I’ve made work for people to actually put in their homes. 

Metro Gallery: What, in your opinion, is special about the Philly art scene?

GC: For me, as someone who has grown up in Philly and in the restaurant industry, I’ve seen the city go through so many changes. I feel like in the past 10 years we have been on the up and up in terms of cool new places to be for anything creative. Philadelphia is a small enough city where different mediums and practices of creating are almost forced to overlap. That to me is what’s special. I’ve had so many different jobs -- in bars, small businesses at Reading Terminal Market, and in art spaces. Everyone else in those spaces have their foot in at least three other doors. This is a city of creatives and creatives that like collaboration. We are innovative about the way we overlap our mediums and that is why I love the scene in Philly so much. 

Metro Gallery: You talk about the restaurant industry with a lot of love. Where do you currently work?

GC: I have two day jobs! I work as a bartender/server at Jose Pistolas and I'm an assistant/fabricator to another artist. 

Metro Gallery: Have you exhibited work anywhere else in Philly?

GC: Most haven’t been conventional spaces, but yes. I’ve shown in Little Berlin, P’s and Q’s, Alchemist Society, Square One Coffee, and a bunch of galleries at Tyler. I was also apart of the collaborative show, “Metropolitan Museum of Art: Modern Plastics”, at Metro Gallery in February. 

Metro Gallery: Anything else you want to share with the world?

GC: I love Metropolitan Gallery 250! It’s such a great space and I am so excited to have the opportunity to show here. Thank you!

“How to Cook a Wolf” opens at Metropolitan Gallery 250 on Friday, August 2nd with an opening reception from 6-9pm. All are welcome! The exhibition will be open on weekends throughout August, or by appointment via jessie@metropolitanbakery.com.

Yesterday afternoon, after we finished installing my #paintings at URBN, I had the pleasure of visiting @phillymagicgardens: the main setting that houses the work of #Philadelphia #mosaic #artist, @isaiahzagar. I walked around the neighbourhood, and to my delight, found many more such installations on the side streets. I also visited Isaiah’s wife’s wonderful shop, @eyes_gallery. . . . #VisitingPhiladelphia #PhiladelphiaArts #PhiladelphiaArtScene #MosaicArtist #murals #PhillyArts #PhillyArtScene #PhillyArtsScene #ClearDesjardins #PhiladelphiaMagicGardens (at Philadelphia's Magic Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvovcd1JLM8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=25szvl8wtt3a

Just finished this little 8x8. Who likes these little paintings? When I first though of working on some small pieces, I thought, where would I put something so little, but now that it’s on my mind I keep seeing places in my house that are just begging for a little painting 🖼 . Do you prefer small pieces or large ones? . . . . . #artfinder #artdiscover #artfollow #artistoftheday #artshare #artsy #maketimeforart #instaart #mywork #paintingsforsalebyartist #juliecaronart #artforyourlivingroom #paintingsforyourhome #affordableart #modernartforsale #abstractsforsale #abstractcollector #chestercountyartists #phillyartscene #squarepainting #minipaintings #smallabstract #acrylicabstract #smallart #happyart #paintingoftheday #artforbreakfast #artlove #emergingartist #anstractlove (at Paoli, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVqeZt1PAwV/?utm_medium=tumblr
