“Corridor Contemporary focuses on supporting local artists, and this group exhibition will allow the community to see the amazing work being done right here in our city.” - Damian Munoz, Corridor Contemporary’s Gallery Director.
In addition to focusing on local artists, Corridor Contemporary works to introduce their Philadelphia audience to a wide range of international works. They can achieve this goal through their sister galleries, one in Philadelphia’s culturally vibrant neighborhood, Fishtown, and the other in Tel Aviv, Israel. They simultaneously show exhibitions at the galleries, with both locations showcasing a unique selection of works by international figures and artists local to each space.
Along with the “Philadelphia Featured” exhibition opening in August, Anthony Rondinone’s “Sunny Days & Lonely Nights” exhibition will continue to display through August. Rondinone's art focuses on reinterpreting familiar pop culture characters to express the different types of people and coping mechanisms he has experienced in the Bronx, where he was born and raised.
