SUMMARY:Kati Gegenheimer: We've Only Just Begun
DESCRIPTION:Rooted in painting but extending into architecture and social space\, the exhibition positions love not as a private or sentimental subject\, but as a serious aesthetic\, political\, and communal structure. \nTo reinaugurate the newly renovated Morris Gallery\, PAFA presents Kati Gegenheimer: We’ve Only Just Begun\, an immersive monographic exhibition exploring love–familial\, romantic\, or brotherly–at this moment of profound social division. Anchored by a symbol-laden painted musical score of the titular line from the Carpenters’ 1970 song\, the exhibition presents works surveying how love is a necessary choice to be cultivated\, measured\, sustained\, or dismissed\, over time. \nRooted in painting but extending into architecture and social space\, the exhibition positions love not as a private or sentimental subject\, but as a serious aesthetic\, political\, and communal structure. Gegenheimer’s markmaking\, symbolism\, and vibrant use of color reclaim emblems of care and tenderness (hearts\, love notes\, hinges\, calendars\, keyholes\, to-do lists)\, and ponder how love is practiced over time rather than experienced in a singular instance. In an era driven by speed\, extraction\, and instant gratification\, the exhibition insists on return and continuity. \nGegenheimer’s paintings are devoted expressions of love\, luck\, and time\, drawing inspiration from art history\, architecture\, popular culture\, and craft. Her works embrace the decorative and diaristic\, each an altar to a fleeting moment. Reliant on color\, tempo\, and composition\, each of her paintings is a sign\, symbol\, and record all at once.

SUMMARY:Kick Off Summer\, Kick Out ICE
DESCRIPTION:We’re having some fun in the sun to melt the ice!\n\n\nKick off the summer by showing our neighbors how much we love them (and showing ICE they’re not welcome here)! We’re raising funds for Asian Americans United’s Communities in Solidarity Fund\, which helps detained immigrants and their families access legal support and meet basic needs. We’ve got an amazing lineup of live musicians\, local crafts for sale\, good eats from Pentridge’s rotating lineup of food trucks\, and drinks with NO ICE. 😘 More info coming soon! \nSuggested donation $25-$50 at the door (no one turned away for lack of funds\, but please remember it’s a fundraiser 💕). 100% of proceeds go to AAU’s Communities in Solidarity Fund! \nCan’t make it to the event? You can still donate HERE! \n \nMore about Pentridge Station Pop-Up \nLocated a short walk from Baltimore Avenue\, Pentridge Station is a beer garden and event space with a uniquely West Philly feel. They offer an exciting and ever-changing lineup of live music\, local food vendors\, and community events. They are a kid and dog-friendly outdoor venue with shaded seating\, lawn games\, hammocks\, bathrooms\, and leveled curb access from the street. Check out their website and their Instagram for more info! \nMore about Asian Americans United and the Communities in Solidarity Fund \nAsian Americans United (AAU) was founded in 1985 by a small group of volunteers seeking to create an organized response to rising issues of anti-Asian violence\, substandard housing\, and the need for educational services for non-English speaking Asians in the city. Since that time\, Asian Americans United’s mission has been to grow leadership in Asian American communities to build our neighborhoods and unite against oppression. \nIn 2026\, AAU launched its Communities in Solidarity Fund to fight for Asian American families detained by ICE. The current administration is purposely making it harder for immigrants to live and stay in the U.S.\, so this fund was created to resist the regime and support our neighbors. Donating to AAU’s Communities in Solidarity Fund helps immigrants and their families connect with trusted lawyers\, make preparedness plans\, and find a supportive community to help them if the worst happens. Your contributions help people survive and find a way through these attempts to tear people away from their families and communities. The needs are so large\, but we are grateful for the support you can give. You can give directly to the fund HERE. \nMore about No ICE Philly \nNo ICE Philly is a collection of Philadelphia residents who want to keep ICE out of our city. We are all volunteers who share the values of courage\, open invitation\, nonviolence\, and antiracism\, and believe in the power of nonviolent direct action to slow down and impede ICE kidnappings. We’re currently running several campaigns aimed at stopping ICE and its collaborators. Check out our Instagram for more info or to get involved!

SUMMARY:FRED WILSON: THE MASTER PLAN or In Between the Big Bang and Modern Art Is the Restroom
DESCRIPTION:THE MASTER PLAN or In Between the Big Bang and Modern Art Is the Restroom is a suite of twenty-two photogravures commissioned in 2004 by the Brodsky Center at PAFA and completed in 2009. They are on view for the first time at PAFA in the Works on Paper Gallery of the Historic Landmark Building\, for one year\, in conjunction with the exhibition A Nation of Artists. \nAs an artist living and working in New York City\, I had to support myself one way or another. Working simultaneously in the educational department of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the American Museum of Natural History\, and the American Crafts Museum made me wonder about how the environment in which cultural production is placed affects the way the viewer feels about the artwork and the artist who made these things. \n—Fred Wilson \nThe prints reproduce floor outlines from visitor orientation maps of eighteen major art\, cultural\, and natural history museums in North America and Europe. The succession of diagrammatic images\, precisely etched in off-white and black inks\, encourage viewers to revisit memories of time spent in museums and recapture the sense of adventure sparked by picking up a map. \nAs one of the most influential American artists of this century\, Fred Wilson has set in motion a profound transformation prompting museums to reconsider how they engage viewers’ learning experiences through art and artifacts. Two hundred and fifty years after Charles Willson Peale (1741–1827) established the American museum at the nation’s birth as the destination for educational advancement—commemorated in his painting The Artist in His Museum (1822)\, on view in the rotunda—Wilson examines the consequential role museums have played since. \nWilson’s conceptual inquiry challenges museums as neutral repositories of knowledge. His groundbreaking 1992 installation at the Maryland Historical Society\, Mining the Museum\, exhumed omitted histories of colonized and enslaved people and shifted attention to the authority embedded in institutional architecture\, furniture\, labels\, and registration systems through his creative retooling of the display apparatus. His subsequent work in glass\, sculpture\, painting\, drawing\, and print addresses the cross-continental history central to the Black experience\, including themes of race\, diaspora\, liberation\, and mourning.

Led by experienced docents\, the tour examines the internationalism and global exchange of American art while also highlighting works from the 18th century to the modern day which feature American artists responding to the social conditions of their time. \nOrganized in conjunction with America’s 250th anniversary\, A Nation of Artists examines how artistic production in the United States has been shaped by creativity\, exchange\, expansion\, conflict\, and innovation. At PAFA\, works made from the late 18th century to today will be arranged thematically to explore scenes of westward expansion\, the rise of industry\, and international exchange. \nInstalled throughout PAFA’s recently restored Historic Landmark Building\, the exhibition will chart America’s history from 1700 to the present day thorough more than 1\,000 paintings\, photographs\, sculptures\, decorative arts\, and more. Across PAFA and the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, more than 120 rarely seen works from the Middleton Family Collection—one of the nation’s most significant private holdings of American art—will be on public view for the first time. \nTickets Include:\nAll day museum admission\n20% off food & drinks at the PAFA Museum Store

SUMMARY:Bodies and Souls
DESCRIPTION:“My concern is with humanity. I want to confront the viewer with life and with what we are doing to each other. I hope to awaken in the viewer a sense of compassion . . . without compassion there is nothing.”\n—Luis Cruz Azaceta \nBodies and Souls examines the liberatory power of figurative art. Though often treated as conservative in the second half of the 20th century\, artists used representational and realist methods to assert presence for those omitted from dominant narratives or harmfully depicted by those outside their communities. Realism and representation remain powerful means to show embodied human experience\, encompassing gender\, sexuality\, interpersonal relationships\, psychological states\, and connections to home. \nThese methods can help us imagine the world we want to live in. Representational art has been critical for artists who want to make themselves and their communities visible on their own terms. It provides the agency to see and be seen\, to show relationships\, pleasure\, and autonomy. Representing ourselves is a powerful means of celebrating our full humanity. \nThis is the throughline of an eclectic collection formed by Philadelphians Robert and Frances Coulborn Kohler. Bodies and Souls celebrates their devotion to artists and immense generosity towards PAFA. Featuring over 120 works given and promised to the museum\, the exhibition will examine prominent themes in the collection\, integrating artists who are often seen independently or as part of regional communities. \nBodies and Souls is presented concurrently with an exhibition of the same title featuring the Kohlers’ personal collection at Woodmere\, Charles Knox Smith Hall\, 9201 Germantown Ave. Bodies & Souls – Woodmere. \nFeatured Artwork: Rafael Ferrer (born 1933) El Bolero\, 1983–84. Oil on canvas; 60 × 72 in. © Rafael Ferrer\, courtesy of the artist \nThe exhibition will include works by Robert Arneson\, Luis Cruz Azaceta\, Joan Brown\, Roy DeForest\, Rafael Ferrer\, Viola Frey\, Gregory Gillespie\, Juan Gonzalez\, Red Grooms\, Anne Minich\, Gladys Nilsson\, Ed Paschke\, Christina Ramberg\, Winfred Rembert\, Tabitha Vevers\, John Wilde\, Didier William\, Karl Wirsum\, and many others.

SUMMARY:Kati Gegenheimer: We've Only Just Begun
DESCRIPTION:Rooted in painting but extending into architecture and social space\, the exhibition positions love not as a private or sentimental subject\, but as a serious aesthetic\, political\, and communal structure. \nTo reinaugurate the newly renovated Morris Gallery\, PAFA presents Kati Gegenheimer: We’ve Only Just Begun\, an immersive monographic exhibition exploring love–familial\, romantic\, or brotherly–at this moment of profound social division. Anchored by a symbol-laden painted musical score of the titular line from the Carpenters’ 1970 song\, the exhibition presents works surveying how love is a necessary choice to be cultivated\, measured\, sustained\, or dismissed\, over time. \nRooted in painting but extending into architecture and social space\, the exhibition positions love not as a private or sentimental subject\, but as a serious aesthetic\, political\, and communal structure. Gegenheimer’s markmaking\, symbolism\, and vibrant use of color reclaim emblems of care and tenderness (hearts\, love notes\, hinges\, calendars\, keyholes\, to-do lists)\, and ponder how love is practiced over time rather than experienced in a singular instance. In an era driven by speed\, extraction\, and instant gratification\, the exhibition insists on return and continuity. \nGegenheimer’s paintings are devoted expressions of love\, luck\, and time\, drawing inspiration from art history\, architecture\, popular culture\, and craft. Her works embrace the decorative and diaristic\, each an altar to a fleeting moment. Reliant on color\, tempo\, and composition\, each of her paintings is a sign\, symbol\, and record all at once.
