About Looking Glass
Looking Glass is a site-responsive exhibition of works by six contemporary artists: Naya Lee Chang, Janna Gregonis, Jacintha Kruc, Kristen Neville Taylor, Jonathan Wahl, and Samara Weaver. Sited within the historic interiors and grounds of Cliveden, the project reflects on the history of people and place in commemoration of the U.S. Semi-quincentennial.
The exhibition is organized by Past Present Projects in partnership with Cliveden of the National Trust. Looking Glass is part of Radical Americana, a city-wide series of exhibitions organized by The Clay Studio, with support from Philly250 and ArtPhilly. https://cliveden.org/radical-americana-exhibition/
About Radical Americana
For the Semiquincentennial, The Clay Studio is leading Radical Americana, a series of exhibitions organized by a consortium of Philadelphia’s arts and cultural institutions. Each celebrates how artists today are continuing the city’s robust legacy as a center for art, skill, and civic engagement. The 45 artists researched and were inspired by the art and history of Philadelphia in 1776, and the subsequent commemorations in 1876, 1926, and 1976. The artists’ new work will add their voices to current dialogue about our nation’s present and future, inspire civil dialogue, celebrate Philadelphia’s diversity, and continue the rich tradition of creativity in our city. https://www.theclaystudio.org/exhibitions/radical-americana
