Curatorial note

Seen at 3350 N Hancock St, the work anchors the curb as a persistent presence in North Philadelphia. Acquired January 2026, it has occupied the site for 101 days on view. Cardboard covers the side windows, taped along the edges to obscure interior details. The intervention converts a common vehicle into a time-based sculpture that engages the surrounding streetscape along North Hancock Street.
