Join us in this Special Artist Performance of CURRENTS!

In CURRENTS, imaginative site-specific artworks will immerse visitors in the voices of the river and the history and ecology of the Water Works and its environs. Trickling harmonic notes will accompany ephemeral video projections while haunting multi-media installations will connect colonial times to both the real present and an imagined future 250 years ahead.

Martha McDonald makes performances and installations that feature handcrafted costumes and objects, which she activates through movement and song. For over two decades, she has developed site-specific interventions in museums, botanic gardens, and historic sites. Her work is grounded in deep research into collections, archives, and historic material practices; and in response to the physical site.

CURRENTS is curated by Philadelphia Sculptors, and is a FWW, PHL250 and Global Philadelphia World Heritage Month event.

Philadelphia Sculptors works to promote contemporary sculpture and expand public awareness of the role and value of sculpture through exhibitions, public forums, and educational outreach.

Co-Curators: Elaine Crivelli, Leslie Kaufman, and Marsha Moss.
