Zoe Strauss: Ten Years January 14, 2012 — April 22, 2012
Zoe Strauss: Ten Years is a mid-career retrospective of the acclaimed photographer’s work and the first critical assessment of her ten-year project to exhibit her photographs annually in a space beneath a section of Interstate-95 (I-95) in South Philadelphia. Strauss’s subjects are broad but her primary focus is on working-class experience, including the most disenfranchised people and places. Her photographs offer a poignant, troubling portrait of contemporary America.
Do you know her work?
You should.
The work of Eva Hesse born today in 1936. Her work is as fresh today as it was then. If you don’t know her work take the time to learn about this artist who died too soon.
Each year two artist are invited for one-month residencies at the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center (PPAC).
The program is intended to support talented, self-directed emerging/mid-career artist in realizing their goals and visions. Resident artists will also serve as a source of inspiration and guidance for the many students, beginning photographers and PPAC members who work and learn at PPAC.

Street Chairs. It doesn’t matter what city or country, or whether you’re walking or driving by. They indulge us for a respite. We oblige and pause to contemplate their scene. We become a part of it. And because they are different, they evoke a sense of fun in us.
