Opening on May 31, 2025 and lasting until October 13, 2025, InLiquid will be displaying a new art exhibit at Park Towne Place; a partnership that annually hosts an array of art exhibitions curated by InLiquid.
Located in the Museum District of Philadelphia, Park Towne Place is a historical apartment complex and a landmark of modern midcentury architecture.
The exhibition–titled Human Scale–is a collection of works by five artists exploring their interpretations of architecture. Each artist unpacks the detailed histories of the structures building our environment, guided by their beauty, functionality, and cultural significance.
David Beker is a Philadelphia-based architect who studied Architecture at the University of Maryland, earned his MFA for computer graphics from Parsons school of design, and completed a Master’s in Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania. He utilizes his experiences as both an architect and a digital artist to find societal implications of objects and buildings–combining and reordering them, creating a new composition that challenges the preexisting meaning.
Anna Guarneri, a visual artist based in Philadelphia, uses her primary medium of stained glass to explore the human experience. Having earned a BA in cultural history from the University of Pennsylvania, she takes inspiration from architecture, art history, dance history, and her own body. Her works unpack the connection between humans and architecture, through color and memory.
Deborah Imler & Allen Spencer began their collaborative art-making after they moved to Center City Philadelphia in 1997. Instantly they were drawn to Philadelphia Architecture, and the pair would spend their Sunday mornings taking photographs of the facades and other architectural details of the buildings around them; The photographs were then cut, deconstructed, and arranged by-hand to create new patterns and geometric configurations. Each work amplifies the duo’s coupling sense of symmetry and balance through beautiful abstraction.
Janos Korodi is a visual artist who utilizes multiple mediums–painting, printmaking, and interdisciplinary collaboration–to craft industrial landscapes under the themes of transformation and memory. While not directly claiming to be an activist, Korodi’s art often highlights environment and societal issues through a metaphorical lens, hoping that his art encourages conversation and amplifies art’s potential to challenge preconceived perceptions.
Krista Svalbonas is a visual artist who lives and works in Philadelphia. Having earned a BFA in Photography and a MFA in Interdisciplinary Studies, she has explored various artistic mediums and her art has been displayed in numerous galleries. Inspired by her background in being ethnically Latvian and Lithuanian, her art explores ideas of home and memory.
On Wednesday June 4th, there will be an opening reception from 6-8pm at the North Tower Gallery of Park Towne Place; Guests will experience a walkthrough of the three galleries and have an opportunity to listen to the artists’ statements. Tickets are free for visitors to RSVP.
The event will feature catering by Felicia Wilson, a celebrated restaurateur known for her establishments Amina, Black Hen Philly, and its latest addition, AVANA, at Park Towne Place.
