Undergraduate Fine Arts photography faculty, Jamie Diamond, discusses her work for Hyperallergenic:
An Outsider Art Born of Fantasy
Four years ago, Jamie Diamond was looking for a realistic doll to use in her photographic series I Promise to Be a Good Mother. The project would be a performance piece in which she would act out scenes between a mother and child based on her own memories. Searching eBay, Diamond stumbled upon a trove of hyperrealistic dolls known as Reborn babies. “I purchased my first one a few weeks later and knew that I had found my next project,” she told Hyperallergic.

Public Art and the Neighborhoods of Philadelphia
Wednesday, 18 February 2015 • 5:00–6:30 pm
Rainey Auditorium, Penn Museum, 3260 South Street Jane Golden Executive Director, Philadelphia Mural Arts Program
Betsy Casañas Artist and Community Activist
Ernel Martinez Artist and Musician
Amy Hillier Associate Professor of City and Regional Planning University of Pennsylvania
Thanks to the work of countless artists and community organizers, Philadelphia has gained national recognition as the City of Murals. Muralists Betsy Casañas and Ernel Martinez join Mural Arts Program founder and director Jane Golden in this conversation on culture, community building, and arts education. Moderated by Penn urban design professor Amy Hillier, the event will feature site-specific mural projects from around the city.
Jane Golden, as the driving force behind the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, is a true agent of social change, a Philadelphia phenom. Conceived as an anti-graffiti program in 1984, the Mural Arts Program has under Golden's leadership produced over 3600 landmark works of public art in nearly every neighborhood throughout the city. What do these murals embody? So much—about what transforms places, people, communities, and institutions. Read the program's mission statement: "We believe art ignites change." Live its golden rule: "When we create art with each other and for each other, the force of life can triumph." And celebrate its "Palette of Core Values." Do these things, and you will know why Jane Golden has been honored with so many awards, among them the Philadelphia Award, the Hepburn Medal, the 2012 Governor's Award for Innovation in the Arts, and the Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania Award.
Betsy Casañas is a studio and public mural artist, a community activist, and an educator who was born and raised in the heart of "The Badlands" of North Philadelphia's barrio. She received her BFA from Moore College of Art and Design, and has worked in the Latino community since 1994. Casañas has exhibited her work in various solo and group exhibits and has designed over 40 public murals and mosaics nationally and internationally. In 2007 she cofounded The Semilla Arts, a grassroots initiative that uses collaborative art as a means of empowering people and communities in underserved areas. In 2010 she opened "A Seed of Diamond Gallery," a community space where artists of different cultural background gather to tell their stories through spoken word, music, and visual arts.
Ernel Martinez, a native of Belize, was inspired to become a mural artist while a PennDesign student in Jane Golden's class on public art at the University of Pennsylvania, where one of his mentors was Terry Adkins. Martinez received his MFA from Penn in 2004 and has since worked on over 25 murals across Philadelphia, including A Place to Call Home, The Color of Your Voice, Malcolm X, and Paul Robeson. He calls his experience as an artist, a muralist, and an instructor with the city's Mural Arts Program a "trifecta," one that celebrates the power of Mural Arts, the artist, and the community working together.
Amy Hillier holds joint faculty appointments in Penn's School of Design and School of Social Policy and Practice, where she teaches and studies the impact of the built environment on public health and welfare—in particular, the impact to disadvantaged communities of more limited access to services and resources. Her research spans such topics as food, physical activity, and obsesity; outdoor advertising; and historical mapping projects. She is, for example, currently directing a public history project to map race and class in the W.E.B. DuBois Seventh Ward of Philadelphia. One result of the project has been to collaborate with the city's Mural Arts Program onMapping Courage, a mural honoring Du Bois and Engine Company 11, Philadelphia's historically segregated black fire house.

Tonight: Jenny Perlin at Slought Foundation
Join Fine Arts faculty member and video artist, Jenny Perlin in a conversation between the artist Shelly Silver and poet Brian Teare on Monday, February 16 from 6:30-8:00pm, which will explore topics including gender, sexuality, voyeurism and narrative in Shelly Silver's recent work.
Unlike traditional narrative or documentary films, which often rely on pre-scripting and rigid structures of pre-production, production and post-production, Silver moves fluidly in her work between shooting, editing and writing to create a loose matrix of essay films. The particular works on view at Slought -- including TOUCH (2013), in complete world (2008), What I'm Looking For (2004), suicide (2003), and Former East/Former West (1994) -- were filmed almost entirely in public space, where the civic rubs up against individual desires/needs. In these narratives exploring contemporary identity, truth and fiction are often in doubt, the veracity of what is seen and what is not seen is questioned, and the modes by which information is disclosed, withheld and mediated hold meaning. Appropriating the structures and codes of television and cinema narratives, Silver relies on the viewer's complicity in watching and their desire to believe and identify with conventions and characters.
The very act of watching others, and doing so in public, forms the basis of these works. In recent decades, the collective act of looking and being looked at has often been discouraged and disparaged. In The Death and Life of Great American Cities, writer and activist Jane Jacobs argues for the importance of watching, and describes it as the fabric that holds us together as feeling, empathic creatures. Jacobs highlights the crucial importance of "eyes upon the street, eyes belonging to those we might call the natural proprietors of the street." Today, we have different kinds of "eyes" on the street, in the form of disembodied surveillance cameras, faux street lamps with black bulbs, and a wide variety of one-sided technologies which invisibly record and monitor our movements, renting the social contract. This co-optation of public space and the anxiety it generates is transferred, according to Silver, to those we do see and the people we share the streets with, whether they have cameras or not. Resisting this tendency, Silver's characters have a spectrum of relations with the viewer, who is often addressed directly and at times even playfully as another character in the films, one who is both desired and implicated.
