Rocky Re-Runs Exhibition- Opening Reception

DVAA is proud to host Rocky Re-Runs, an exhibition that both stands alone and is an extension of the exhibition YO, PIRANESI!, which DVAA hosted in 2017 - by some of the same participants. Rocky Re-Runs assembles a group of young architects, artists, practitioners, and academics whose work responds to infrequently examined aspects of and places within Philadelphia’s built environment. The exhibit identifies a set of related themes and proposes challenges that would encourage each participant to investigate and interpret selected themes in personal ways. Among those themes are: movement through Philadelphia, Philadelphia neighborhoods past/present/future, Rocky’s mind + Rocky as a role model to others, “sacred Rocky” vs. human Rocky, sport + ritual of boxing, innovation of the steadicam, global Rocky, and art that honors the hero.
