We are pleased to announce that “Monument Lab: Creative Speculations for Philadelphia,” a public art and urban research project taking place at City Hall in Spring 2015 has launched its website.

In June, The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage (the Center), awarded a grant to the Penn Institute for Urban Research (Penn IUR) and curators Ken Lum, A. Will Brown and Paul M. Farber for “Monument Lab: Creative Speculations for Philadelphia.” The project will explore the questions: What is the ideal monument for the current City of Philadelphia and what does a 21st century urban monument look like? 

The project will take place at City Hall from May 15, 2015 – June 7, 2015. For more information, read the original press release about the project and visit the new website.
