CITYSCAPE: New public art projects announced

POSTED: Thursday, December 1, 2011, 2:58 PM

Philly's Percent for Art public arts program is adding six new commission around the city in a broad array of media. Pictured is artist Warren Holzman's design for Hawthorne Park in South Philly. The stainless steel sculpture, "Object of Expression," is meant to double as a lectern or soapbox for impromptu performances. 

Other projects coming up include "You Are Here," a blue glass installation designed by Ellen Harvey and Jan Baracz for the Terminal F expansion at the airport, featuring an aerial view of the Delaware River; and Carl Marin's design for East Oak Lane's Sturgis Playground, a 70-foot-long fence depicting grazing deer in stainless steel. Check out the rest of the projects here.
