Without Walls: Works from the muraLAB/Breadboard Residency

Work created by Chris Landau (MFA 2006) as part of his muraLAB/​Breadboard Residency is now on display at Philadelphia’s Esther M. Klein Art Gallery at the Science Center.

Without Walls at Esther Klein Gallery in Philadelphia explores new modes of public art and muralism through a unique collaborative residency between Breadboard and muraLAB, an experimental hub at The City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program. Six Philadelphia Artists were selected for a six-month residency at NextFab Studio, a high-tech workshop and prototyping center located at the University City Science Center. muraLAB is a laboratory for exploring muralism in the 21^st century — as artistic mediums evolve, technologies emerge, and the concepts of real/​virtual communities merge. As the world changes, we want to stay true to our roots in muralism. These roots include a dedication to using art to give voice to disadvantaged communities and marginalized populations, engaging communities in deep and meaningful ways, and exploring issues that are timely and relevant to people’s lives.

Exhibition opening: April 27, 2012
