This little gallery in Jon Stivers' West Philly living room boasts quite a cast of characters. The silvery nudes in Robert Asman's gelatin prints float in and out of the void. Adam Presti's sculpture work includes a bald-headed creature crouching atop a tower of skulls (pictured). Bits of brooms and other household objects adorn Jim Lint's totemic figures. They grin and leer on their wooden planks and wall mounts. The id is coming, and it's got some house cleaning to do.

I don't know about you, but I eat kung pao tofu more often than I eat apple pie. This exhibit, which originated at New York's Museum of Chinese in the Americas, traces the evolution of a cultural phenomenon. For a good portion of the xenophobic early 20th century, Chinese immigration was banned outright; nowadays, there are more Chinese places than all of the Big Three fast food joints combined. Don't forget to flip through the visitor book for funny stories and dining recommendations.

Philagrafika (formerly the Philadelphia Print Collaborative) brings local quarterly Megawords out of the print realm and into the empire of multimedia with this site-specific installation. (Imagine reading a magazine with 3-D glasses on.) The publication's take on the issues and questions of contemporary urban life creates quite a contrast with the colonial splendor of the Powel House. "We're excited to get in there and see what kind of trouble we can cause," says Megawords co-founder Tony Smyrski.
