This Sunday: Zoe Strauss' I-95 Photography Gallery

We're big fans of Philly photographer and installation artist Zoe Strauss, and for the 8th year in a row, Zoe will exhibit 231 new and selected works on Sunday, May 4th, 2008 from 1pm to 4pm under I-95 at Front St. and Mifflin St. in South Philadelphia.

This is the 8th year of Ms. Strauss's ongoing 10-year photo installation in South Philadelphia. Within the last 8 years Ms. Strauss' art presence has skyrocketed in the right direction. She was included in the 2006 Whitney Biennial (and in our biased opinion was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise forgettable show).

She also had an acclaimed solo show at Silverstein Photography in NYC; is now shooting for a book of her photography to be released in October 2008; has been commissioned to create a ramp project at the Philadelphia ICA; had eight prints purchased by the Philadelphia Museum of Art for their permanent collection; received a Leeway grant and became a member of the Leeway advisory council; shown a slideshow at the Philadelphia ICA and won the "friends of Arcadia award" for her piece in the Arcadia Works on Paper Show.

However, in spite of all this art world success, the I-95 show is really the big thing in Ms. Strauss's own opinion!

The "under I-95" exhibition is free and open to the public. The event will happen rain or shine. Only two years left in the project! Don't miss it!
