Old signs, beat-up billboards and the crumbling facades of Philadelphia’s oft-forgotten neighborhoods becoming momentarily beautiful when captured in the lens of Zoe Strauss. The local photographer’s latest installation – complete with a slide show – hangs in the ramp space of the Institute of Contemporary Art, the ninth in a series of temporary works commissioned for the ramp. The exhibit is part of Strauss’ Philadelphia Public Art Project, a 10-year initiative by the artist documenting overlooked neighborhoods of the city.
Through July 30, Wed. to Fri., noon – 8pm; Sat.- Sun., 11am – 5pm, $2 – $3, Institute of Contemporary Art, 118 S. 36th St., Philadelphia, 215.898.7108; www.icaphila.org
