How Philly Moves: a massive new gateway to Philadelphia, celebrating the joy of dance

How Philly Moves is a photographic project that local photographer Jacques-Jean "JJ" Tiziou began two years ago; it celebrates the joy of dance in all its forms. On February 2nd, Mayor Michael Nutter announced that How Philly Moves had been selected by the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, Philadelphia International Airport, and the Philadelphia Parking Authority to be turned into a *huge* mural (nearly 50,000 square feet) to be painted across the airport’s parking garages and welcome everyone driving up I-95 into Philly for years to come.

Eleanor Antin was born in New York City in 1935. An influential performance artist, filmmaker, and installation artist, Antin delves into history as a way to explore the present. Antin is a cultural chameleon, masquerading in theatrical or stage roles to expose her many selves. Her most famous persona is that of Eleanora Antinova, the tragically overlooked black ballerina of Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes. Appearing as Antinova in scripted and non-scripted performances for over a decade, Antin has blurred the distinction between her identity and that of her character. In her 2001 series The Last Days of Pompeii, Antin lingers behind the camera to stage the final, catastrophic days of Pompeii in the affluent hills of La Jolla, California. Eleanor Antin received a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in 1997 and a Media Achievement Award from the National Foundation for Jewish Culture in 1998. She has had numerous solo exhibitions, including an award-winning retrospective at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1999. This lecture is a Speigel Distinguished Artist Lecture Series.

The Second Annual Amazing Photo 1 EXTRAVAGANZA!

"Snow Traces" by Francesca Pfister at Burrison Gallery

Snow Traces

January 11 through February 19 2010

BURRISON GALLERY

The University Club at Penn, 2nd floor, 3611 Walnut St., Philadelphia, Gallery Hours: Monday-Friday, 7:30-5:00 Saturday–Sunday, 7:00–1:00

Francesca Pfister practices a form of visual archeology. Working in photography, video and installation, she explores the physical world around her in search for human presence. In Snow Traces she investigates a pedestrian’s experience of Philadelphia streets in the aftermath of a snowstorm. The photo installation composed by twelve diptychs testifies of Pfister's fascination with the transformative qualities of ephemeral marks and traces in the urban environment.
