In these large-scale text works by Ken Lum, which are a part of a series called the “Necrologies,” the artist presents intimate death announcements for people who never existed. Inspired by the 1865 obituary announcement for President Abraham Lincoln from the "Philadelphia Inquirer," Lum uses the same variety of fonts, typographic spacing, and life details for his emulated death announcements. At once fictional and factual, Lum replaces realism with imagination and uses the past to question the meaning of symbols today. See these works on view now in “New Grit: Art & Philly Now” before August 22.

Don’t let a pandemic stand in the way of your voice being heard! This election season, a majority of Americans are eligible to vote by mail. Many states have deadlines to request mail-in ballots less than two weeks before Election Day, but the Postal Service recommends that voters request mail-in ballots by October 19 to ensure that ballots are returned on time.
