InLiquid.com Infiltrates the "Unfiltered Fringe"
In:View Brings 14 Visual Art Installations to Fringe Audiences


As an "UnFiltered Fringe" project for the 2002 Philadelphia Fringe Festival, InLiquid.com has invited fourteen artists, thirteen from our region, to create temporary visual art installations throughout the Old City and South Street area. Called In:View, this loosely connected series presents work in a variety of non-traditional media by artists whose work is not necessarily familiar to the general public; the goal is to introduce a broad public to the works of some of our more challenging visual artists, and to provide exhibition venues and a concentrated audience to these artists, whose work is often difficult to present in a traditional gallery context. Although most of the art is installed indoors, many will be visible from the street at all hours. In:View will run from August 30 through September 14, 2002.

The windows of the National Products Building, formerly a Fringe anchor venue, will host installations by three area artists. The south window will feature a collaboration by Joy Feasley and Paul Swenbeck, a surface-sweet tableau with hidden clues of menace and occult; in the north window, Nadia Hironaka’s kaleidoscopic video installation, "My Stars," in part a tribute to the National Building itself, will offer a trippy bridge between interior and exterior, "National" and "International."

A woven sculptural installation by Kathryn Pannepacker will be installed outside of the Arden Theatre, at 40 N. Second Street.

The exhibition space at 47 North Second Street, across from the Arden Theatre between Market and Arch, has been jointly curated for In:View by InLiquid.com and Minima (118 N. Third Street). Two floors of this currently vacant building will be home to installations by the following artists: Jennifer Butler-Kaler; William Cromar; Edward Dormer; Tristan Lowe; Sharyn O’Mara; Kevin Reay; Jeanne Scandura (Scan-Design); Jeannie Yip; and a multi-media installation by a Turkish collaborative, gad architecture. The building will be open during most evening and weekend Fringe performance hours, as well as additional hours (to be announced).

In the South Street area, Colette Copeland’s video installation, "Nature’s Fingerprint," will be presented in the window of TLA Video at 517 South Fourth Street. Randall Cleaver will install a kinetic piece consisting of multiple interacting clocks in the window of Atlas Wallpaper & Paint, 742 South Street.
