CURRENT EXHIBITION

Jeff Waring: Sight and Sound

November 5, 2009—December 11, 2009

Jeff Waring is the director and 20 year member of Highwire Gallery–one of the the first co-op galleries in Philadelphia, formed in 1988. The gallery was established to include, rather than exclude, artists who work with experimental techniques, alternative media, and who otherwise don’t fit into the mainstream gallery scene – and Waring fits the bill. In creating art, Waring’s influences are in constant flux – from rust and erosion, to live music and time, nothing is fixed. Waring’s art
explores the non-tangible.

Waring taught art at Haverford School for four years and is currently at Westtown School, where he has taught for eighteen years, serving as chair of the department for the last three. He earned a BFA in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1985. Waring is always at the threshold of creating something new. Along with his exhibition, Waring will conduct an open workshop at the Gallery that includes creating to live music.
