Message & Medium

Gaby Heit’s exhibit "Message & Medium" interprets the famous Marshall McLuhan quote “the medium is the message” with pieces that explore how a choice of canvas can convey a message of its own —like Allan Espiritu’s work, stating “It gets sweeter and sweeter the more that I know” in a dizzying variety of fonts and colors. Artists like Madeleine Barnes, Nicole Donnelly and Boots Levinson push the boundaries in which we tend to confine art.

Opening reception Thu., March 1, 7-10 p.m., free. Through March 12, Philadelphia Mausoleum of Contemporary Art, 531 N. 12 St., 267-519-9651, philamoca.org.
