Mixed Media Art Installation by Bridget Purcell
Saturday May 19, 2018
On Saturday, May 19, the Great Lawn at Park Towne Place will become a site of a colorful and interactive art work. Working with the intersection of sports and site specific sculpture, mixed media artist Bridget Purcell will stage a unique, reframed volleyball installation. Complete with net, boundary tape, and a variety of sports equipment, Purcell’s version will be meant to be both used and observed. A net will be transformed by yarn and other colorful fabrics, and balls and other sporting equipment that have been colorfully modified by various collage techniques will be introduced into the scene as well. Multiples of these items will accumulate at the site as Purcell produced them, ultimately leading to a dynamic and visually rich space that allows for alternative ideas of the objects and their use to emerge. The artist plans to establish systems to install the work over the course of the day, embellish elements organically, and involve participation by passersby. The full result will be an energetic, living sculpture that turns the theme of group play into an interesting art site.

AiO artist Michael Kolster returns to the Schuylkill River
Friday May 24 - Friday June 14, 2013
AiO artist Michael Kolster has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to continue his study of America’s rivers using the historic wet glass-plate process, the ambrotype. Box camera and portable darkroom in tow, Michael will be continuing the work he began as an AiO 2012 artist, along the Schuylkill River Banks from May 24 – June 14, 2013.
Kolster’s feels that rivers embody the ever-shifting nature of our own attachments to place and period. Using a time-sensitive process of ambrotypes–developing the images on site–and documenting the rivers edge gives shape and meaning to that flow of time.
Michael is Professor of Photography at Bowdoin College, Brunswick Maine. He was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and has lived in Rochester, New York; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Boston, Massachusetts; and San Francisco, California. He holds a BA in American Studies from Williams College, an MFA from the Massachusetts College of Art, and a certificate from the full-time Documentary Photography program at the International Center of Photography in New York City.
