The Print Center opens two Philly-centric shows tomorrow

The '70s and early '80s were a mixed bag for Philly ' we had the Bicentennial celebrations that drew attention from the world, and we had the horrific MOVE bombing, which, even today, not nearly enough people outside of the city are aware of. The Print Center's (1614 Latimer St., 215-735-6090) exhibit "Streets of Philadelphia: Photography 1970-1985," featuring works by George Krause, James B. Abbott, Nancy Hellebrand, Paul McGuirk (whose piece is pictured) and other artists, focuses on these strange times. Another Philly-ish exhibit that the Print Center is putting on is "There's No Place Like Here," which showcases Nadine Rovner's photographs of the southern New Jersey suburbs she grew up in. She captures the slow-moving, weirdly comfortable parking lots, diners and highway roadsides of the 'burbs in all their depressing, mythical glory. The opening reception for both shows are on Wed., Sept. 9 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Click the jump to see a piece by Rovner.
