For those who live in Philly:
Dear Friends,I have a great need for volunteers on the day of May 6th.
There are 2 big jobs that aren’t covered…
I need folks who can help me sweep up potential puddles that form under the
highway around noon on the 6th. It looks like it might rain Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, which is ok except for the puddle issue.
And! Can photographers help document the event? There were some great
photos from last year but no hi-res ones. I would be so grateful for some
good hi res images.
Let me know!
And tell everyone you know to come!
With Love,
ZS
WHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO. GET READY, FOLKS. I AM BRINGING IT THIS YEAR.
Zoe Strauss Photography Installation Under I-95
May 6, 2006
Photographer and installation artist Zoe Strauss will exhibit over 231 new
and selected works on Saturday, May 6th, 2006 from 1pm to 3pm under I-95 at
Front St. and Mifflin St. in South Philadelphia. The exhibition is free and
open to the public. Selected pieces of Ms. Strauss’s art will be available
as color photocopies for purchase at 5 dollars each. The event will happen
rain or shine. It’s going to be off the hook.
This is the 6th year of Ms. Strauss’s ongoing 10-year photo installation in
South Philadelphia. Within the last 6 years Ms. Strauss has shown in the
2006 Whitney Biennial, been commissioned to create a ramp project at the
Philadelphia ICA, had 8 prints purchased by the Philadelphia Museum of Art
for their permanent collection,
received a Leeway grant and become a member of the Leeway advisory council,
shown a slideshow at the Philadelphia ICA and won “friends of Arcadia award”
for her piece in the Arcadia Works on Paper Show. Of all this fanciness,
the 95 show is really the big thing in Ms. Strauss’s own opinion.
Zoe Strauss is the executive director of the Philadelphia Public Art Project
