Mary Evelyn Harju was never especially a multi-media enthusiast. Abby Heller-Burnham's engagement with multi-media amounted to a daredevil maneuver, by which she subsumed her entire painting career so far beneath her rock star princess front that few even knew it existed. The Philly Free School shows at the Highwire Gallery in the mid-Aughts were selling multi-media, but I'd like it to be known that there was a theoretical underpinning to our enterprise, as is reflected in this 2010 piece in Otoliths. There was no notion for us of multi-media without a commensurate notion of the spectacle and the spectacular. Hence, our own engagement with our good friend, French dramatist Antonin Artaud.
