PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia is taking art to the streets — and bringing the streets into the museum — as part of a major new exhibition that looks at engaging with public space and the urban experience. More than 50 American and international artists are featured in the exhibit, which not only takes place inside the museum's Roberts Gallery, but also reaches into the streets of Philadelphia itself, via street performances, billboards, posters, themed walks and public participation in the show's social media components. Visitors to the show find themselves getting in the way of the video projections, and find their own silhouettes projected onto the screen, becoming part of the installation. Highlights of the gallery portion include gelatin silver prints by Marina Abramovic called "Role Exchange" documenting her changing roles with a prostitute in Amsterdam in 1975; and Vito Acconci's "Following Piece" inkjet prints depicting his selection of a passerby whom he followed for an entire day on the streets of New York. Wearing her signature neon yellow zebra patterned catsuit and high heels, she'll do jumping jacks, push-ups and roll around in the street, all documented on video.
