Two powerful fabric-based exhibitions conclude this week: Lisa Alvarado: Talismans for a Theater of Resilience y El templo viviente: El mundo de Moki Cherry.

Lisa Alvarado uses vibrational aesthetics — that is, the pulses of the human body (and the world) — to explore the liminality of movement, history and rhythm. Composed of layers of multicolored bands, Alvarado’s gigantic hanging tapestries mimic natural rock formations and shift in color throughout the course of the day.

Fearless artist and designer Moki Cherry lived her life across continents, working and living in both the United States and her native Sweden. Featuring tapestries, paintings, concert posters, costumes, music and more, Cherry’s retrospective exhibition weaves together a creative mishmash that turns ordinary spaces into bold, joyful happenings.

Catch them before they unravel.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” right? But arriving at that iconic line in the Declaration of Independence wasn’t so simple.

Unbeknownst to many, the Declaration served many roles and went through numerous drafts before becoming the document we know today. The American Philosophical Society Museum tapped into its vast holdings to tell a fuller version of the document’s history in its última exposición, timed to coincide with America’s 250th anniversary.

In addition to the many copies of the Declaration in the free exhibit, visitors can also see a rare first printing of Thomas Paine’s influential Common Sense, as well as the chair Thomas Jefferson sat in while he wrote.

Over the last two and a half centuries, few things have become as synonymous with America’s Independence Day celebrations as the loud crack and colorful sparks of a fireworks display. But the origins of the dazzling light shows are much, much older — going as far back as the second century BCE.

Con sus propias historias, los Philadelphia Museum of Art y la Academia de Bellas Artes de Pensilvania (the country’s very first art school and museum) delve into the richness and diversity of American art history for this blockbuster exhibition, timed to coincide with the Semiquincentennial.

Cuando el mundo intentó borrarlos, tanto a ellos como a sus obras y sus temas, estos artistas de Philly reivindicaron su espacio, según sus propios términos y a través de su propio trabajo.

Una exposición que se extiende no solo por uno, sino por dos museos Philly — Woodmere y la Academia de Bellas Artes de Pensilvania - Cuerpos y almas explora cómo la obra de los artistas puso de manifiesto las complejidades de la experiencia humana, abordando temas como el género, la sexualidad, las relaciones y otros; fomentó la compasión; e imaginó un mundo mejor.

Esta impresionante exposición presenta más de 130 pinturas, dibujos y esculturas de artistas como Barbara Bullock y Marta Sánchez, procedentes de la colección de los coleccionistas de arte de Filadelfia Robert y Frances Coulborn Kohler.

Se puede saber mucho de una persona por su hogar. En el caso de los Shakers, una comunidad religiosa que se originó en la Inglaterra del siglo XVIII y floreció en los Estados Unidos, sus firmes creencias en torno a la comunidad, el trabajo y la igualdad se extendían a todas las facetas de la vida, incluidos los muebles, la arquitectura y los artículos de uso cotidiano.

Combinando artefactos históricos fabricados por los Shaker directamente desde el Testamento de Ann Lee con obras de arte contemporáneo inspiradas en la comunidad, esta nueva exposición en el Instituto de Arte Contemporáneo explora cómo el grupo desarrolló un lenguaje visual distintivo caracterizado por la simplicidad, la innovación y la funcionalidad.

¿Quieres saber más? La exposición se ha presentado recientemente en destacado en este artículo de El New York Times.
