The space at Bahdeebahdu

In life we tend to remember the highs and lows, with most of our stories starting with the phrase, "this one time " But what about the time in between the way you make coffee in the morning, the daily walk to work, the book you read before drifting off to sleep that often goes unnoticed. "Having Fun?" is an exhibition that turns these stones over, exploring the intimacy of the daily routine, surrounding, social sphere and location. The opening reception is from 7-10p.m. on Fri., March 4 at Bahdeebahdu (1522 N. American St., 215-627-5002), and will show through April 2.

The exhibition is organized by and features work from a group of friends who met while growing up in Kingston, Pa, a small town a stone's throw from Wilkes-Barre and Scranton. On display will be photography from Jesse Dean Lipfert, a Kingston native, and Lindsey Jardine, a Liberty, N.Y. native who met everyone during her time at boarding school in Kingston. The curator, Lily Fierman, collected her inspiration from living in Kingston and eventually making the move down to Philly. "The work is about an expanded definition of intimacy," Fierman says, "the photographs are evidence of intimacy."
