Art and decay have oft had a love/hate relationship. Look no further than the inspirations of Marcel Duchamp or the crumbling Colosseum in Rome. Time (and lack of preservation) may eventually rob us of some of our cultural treasures, but it also inspires the creation new artistic works. This month's Hidden City Festival organized by Peregrine Arts and produced in partnership with the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia and the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage seeks to highlight this circular phenomenon. Inspired by some of Philadelphia's most spectacular "forgotten" landmarks, a small army of artists have put together an unique collection of multimedia installations, dance and music presentations.
