Photographer and installation artist Zoe Strauss will exhibit 231 new
and selected works on Sunday, May 4th, 2008 from 1pm to 4pm 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 8th year of Ms. Strauss's ongoing 10-year photo installation in
South Philadelphia. Within the last 8 years Ms. Strauss has shown in the 2006 Whitney Biennial, had an acclaimed solo show at Silverstein Photography, is shooting for a book of her photography to be released in October 2008, 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 opinion.
Zoe Strauss is the executive director of the Philadelphia Public Art Project
