"Not a Vacant Lot" features the Play House by Marianne Bernstein and an architectural installation by a class of PennDesign Landscape Architecture students. The installation is in a vacant lot at on 313 S Broad Street in Philadelphia and the work in the lot deals with the continuing vacancy problem facing the city of Philadelphia (with over 40,000 vacant lots).
Performances will be held daily from within the Play House from 4-7pm. Video screenings by 10 artists as well as award-winning photographs of Philadelphia vacant lots by Daniel Traub will be projected on the cube from 7-10pm daily. Kelsey Halliday Johnson (MFA '12) has been working to facilitate this project with artist-curator Marianne Bernstein. Tamara Suber (MFA '11) is one of the ten performance and video artist featured.
The closing reception for Design Philadelphia will be held at "Not a Vacant Lot" on Saturday the 22nd 7-10pm. Beer will be provided by Triumph Brewing Company and music by Broadzilla DJs with special guests.
