Prior to coming to Philadelphia, Ms. Gould was executive director of Artists Space, NYC's leading venue for emerging artists.
5pm optional tour of Los Angeles artist Bruce Yonemoto's first one-person exhibit, featuring video installations that explore the possibility of forging community in an age when corporations colonize many facets of our lives. The exhibit includes a large, three-channel work, Hanabi Fireworks, where blurred images of recognizable corporate logos float like apparitions on multiple screens and morph into pyrotechnics.
