Shimmering like a crystal and fractured into 12,000 mirrored pieces of stainless steel, Jordan Griska’s new sculpture Wreck comes to light for the first time at Municipal Pier 9 on the Delaware River. Philadelphia Contemporary presents the multifaceted and life-size representation of a Mercedes Benz S550, crushed and splintered as if crashed, for its only public viewing before its final installation in a private collection. In the raw space of the marine building of Pier 9, the digitally designed and meticulously hand-crafted artwork evokes questions of luxury and humbleness, design and technology, as well as freedom and mortality.
The exhibition, opening celebration and talk are free of charge and open to the public.
Exhibition: Friday, October 28 to Sunday, October 30, 11 am - 7 pm
Opening Celebration: Thursday, October 27, 7 - 11 pm
Artist in Dialogue: Sunday, October 30, 3 - 4 pm
