Mike Maxwell "Minor Superior".


The Slingluff Gallery: 
What is "Minor Superior" about?


Mike Maxwell: The show is about the balance of opposites and the symbiotic dance opposites must engage in in order to exist. The show examines the perception of reality and subtle contradictions found in human consciousness. 

TSG: How do your subjects help tell the story in your art?

MM: The subjects are the story. The figures act as metaphors that tell my own personal history. The hope is that the viewer find something in the objects that relates to their own existence and can act as a part of their own history.

TSG: What is your most challenging part of being an artist?

MM: Paying the bills

TSG: What is the most important lesson you've learned from art that you apply to life?

MM: To spend my time as I see fit and to never allocate that authority to anyone else.

Stop being a

Light Up the Schuylkill.



For anyone who remembers a decade back, to when the Schuylkill Banks (not that anyone called it that) was all trash and rubble, the public art installation that's about to overtake the riverbank should be especially moving. The three-day project from Mural Arts, created by Boston-based artist and MIT professor Meejin Yoon, will scatter 90 LED-lit plastic orbs along the bank and within the river itself. The orbs will be interactive, changing color in response to passersby. The temporary work opens with a reception Oct. 15 at 6:30 p.m. and remains in place from dusk through dawn on the 15, 16 and 17, between Market and Chestnut streets. This story is from Brownstoner.
