PHILADELPHIA – August 22, 2019 – Friends of the Rail Park, Mural Arts Philadelphia, and American Composers Forum, Philadelphia Chapter announce the programming schedule for their new collaborative project to take place this fall: Site/Sound: Revealing the Rail Park. Site/Sound is a free fall festival taking place October 5–19, 2019 that invites Philadelphians and visitors to envision together the past, present, and future of the city’s Rail Park, being developed along the historic terminus of the Reading Railroad. The festival combines large-scale art installations created through sound and light projection by three teams of Philadelphia artists, cutting-edge live performances of new music, discussions on the use of public art in creating great public spaces, and fun and engaging activities and experiences designed by community organizations from neighborhoods along the current and future Rail Park. Across all three sites, the festival will present a diverse mix of Jazz, Folk, World, Contemporary Classical, Soundscapes, and Electronic music, as well as dance and performance art. Like the anchor installations, the music of Site/Sound is shaped by its surroundings, creating a unique listening experience. 
​SAVE THE DATE! Media are invited to a press preview on Wednesday, October 2 at 6 pm to get a taste of the performances and hear from some of the artists and performers.
 
The Rail Park and adjoining neighborhoods will teem with public events and innovative art installations combining sound and visual art, celebrating the past, present, and future of the historic rail corridor. Site/Sound will invite the public to envision the path of the future park and experience its unusual vantage both above and below the cityscape. The three main projects will take place in various locations bounded between Vine & Spring Garden Streets and 9th & 18th Streets.

​Gene Coleman, Executive Director of ACF Philadelphia, will serve as curator of the three anchor art installations from three teams of noted Philadelphia-based visual and sound artist teams: Carolyn Healy and John JH Phillips; Erik Ruin and Rosie Langabeer; and Nadia Hironaka, Matthew Suib, and Eugene Lew. The main installations will be activated on three Saturdays – October 5, 12, and 19 – taking place between 5:30 and 9:30 pm each evening at various locations along the future path of the Park with live performances (see complete schedule, below).
 
“The Site/Sound festival is an opportunity to bring to light the sections of the proposed three-mile Rail Park that many people don’t realize exist,” stated Kevin Dow, Executive Director, Friends of the Rail Park. “With only a quarter-mile complete at this time, the Rail Park is more vision than actual park and the three artist installations, along with a robust schedule of community programming, highlight the unfinished sections and I hope will serve as inspiration to Philadelphians to get the rest completed.”

​Vibrant community programming is the heart of Site/Sound, offered free of charge. Enjoy high-energy taiko drum performances by beloved local all-volunteer ensemble KyoDaiko. Be inspired by spoken-word nights and storytelling events drawn from the hidden history of the railroad from Pecola Breedlove & The Freedom Party and local-artist-created character Auntie Kym. Learn more about the neighborhood’s past and present through specialty tours and experience a “new” technology by building a 19th-century-style pinhole camera with Tsirkus Fotografika. Family-friendly art and sound activities from The Franklin Institute, local artists, and Mural Arts’ Mural Mobile are on offer at and nearby the Rail Park greenway between Broad and North 11th Streets. On the final night of the festival, guests can witness and participate in the creation and destruction of a sand mandala with the Bethesda Project and Tibetan scholar and artist Losang Samten (see complete schedule, below).

Jane Golden, Executive Director of Mural Arts Philadelphia, said, “I am thrilled that this fall brings another multi-faceted public art exhibition and festival in the tradition of Open Source and Monument Lab. Site/Sound is a complex and exciting new endeavor that is creative, engaging, and fun. Each of the three large-scale site-specific multi-disciplinary installations will incorporate light projection and cutting-edge performances of new music. In their collective diversity of aesthetic, tone, and intent, these projects posit the public landscape as a place where the mechanical mind and the imagination poetically overlap and proclaim that the Rail Park is open for all.”

Gene Coleman, Site/Sound Curator stated, “It’s a pleasure to be able to present the innovative work of these three outstanding composer/visual artist teams. Each installation creates spaces of environmental, social, and historic meditation, incorporating sound and audio-visual media as new forms of expression in public art and reflecting the history and future of the Rail Park, a new vital cultural asset to the city.”

The Site/Sound Projects
Carolyn Healy & John JH Phillips, Aspect 281, 990 Spring Garden Street, east parking lot Carolyn Healy and John JH Phillips will present Aspect 281, a site-specific multimedia installation in the parking lot beneath the Reading Viaduct just east of 990 Spring Garden Street. This anonymous urban space will be transformed into a vibrant matrix of objects, sound, video, and graphics revolving around the idea of signals, nestled against the tracks leading into the future expanded Rail Park. The artists’ ideas originally sprang from curiosity about the impact railroads had on the urban history of the city. As trains became a prevalent feature of the city, the routes of the rail cars became critical, much like the travel of packets of digital information carves pathways in our contemporary culture. Collaborating with composer and curator Gene Coleman, Healy and Phillips will present three evenings of eclectic audio/visual performances in the installation.

Nadia Hironaka, Matthew Suib, and Eugene Lew, Moon Viewing Platform,
The Cut, between North 17th & North 18th Streets, north of Callowhill (viewable from 465 North 18th Street)
Moon Viewing Platform is an interdisciplinary public installation that will transform an inhospitable and disused stretch of open-air land into a large-scale performance/gathering space featuring regular acts of caring, a stage, and building-sized nighttime video projections featuring an episodic series of short films. The garden/installation references the karesansui (Japanese dry landscape garden), as it becomes a set for a series of short videos and musical performances, inviting audiences to enter another world through the senses and the imagination and provides the opportunity to engage in intimate commemorative gatherings that celebrate compassion, creativity, and community as essential components of human life.

​Erik Ruin and Rosie Langabeer: Soon/ Now/ Gone, located at a different location each of the three weeks:

  • October 5: 990 Spring Garden Street, rear parking lot
  • October 12: Shamokin Street between North 11th & Ridge Streets
  • October 19: Under the Carlton Street Tunnel, between North 11th & North 12th Streets
 
Soon/ Now/ Gone engages with the Rail Park site’s history as a space for movement through a series of interactive installations and performances. The point of departure is the Victorian era, where technologies such as the railroad and photography/cinema began to be used as a way to capture, collapse, and re-deploy time. In various tunnels and underpasses beneath the Viaduct section of the Rail Park, audiences will be invited to activate zoopraxiscopes – a pre-cinema device developed by Eadweard Muybridge in 1879 – which will project hand-drawn images from rotating glass disks in rapid succession to create the illusion of motion. Each zoopraxiscope is fitted with a music device that visitors can use to activate an original soundtrack composed for the installation. By turning on and off different strains of the music and triggering sound effects, they will be able to create their own scores to the moving images on the tunnel wall. Thematically-linked performance programs each night feature everything from time-traveling storytellers to processional puppets to audio-visual improvisations.
Site/Sound: Revealing the Rail Park is supported by the William Penn Foundation, PNC Arts Alive, and PECO. Special thanks to the National Endowment for the Arts and SEPTA. For more information, visit muralarts.org/sitesound
