Philadelphia Sculptors: The Artfront Partnership


  • Old City Philadelphia, PA United States (map)

The Artfront Partnership, a public art project, curated by Marsha Moss, under the aegis of Philadelphia Sculptors, has commissioned artists with a feminist perspective to transform vacant, dark storefronts in Old City into illuminated art spaces, called Artfronts.

Five Philadelphia women artists approach the subconscious mind through dreams, masquerades and symbols.

Margery Amdur embraces symbolism, metaphor, and abstraction to craft elaborate patterns akin to garments worn on the body, which dissolve into a perpetual dance between consciousness and unconsciousness.

Suzanne Horvitz’s artistic exploration of the "Search for Self," employs symbols such as sirens to represent women's yearning for freedom, Mirrors for self-discovery, high heel shoes for empowerment, and four-sided pyramids as symbols of equality, and the journey to the top.

Virginia Maksymowicz’s window considers the resilience and strength of the female figure in architecture by using the imagery of caryatids, who appear effortless in their supportive roles.

Meg Saligman's diptych illuminates the female form: a journey through her life’s continuum with periods of standing still, phases of great motion, plus pockets of shared experience and creation.

Heather Ujiie’s crystal & fiber installation speaks to the cycles of life and death in the mystical realm of the female psyche.
