PHL's Newest Art Venue along the Northeast at Corridor

A series of murals asks rail commuters to “think about this space that they hurtle through every day.” Murals are often specifically designed to stop busy city residents in their tracks, forcing them to pause and, for a change, really take in their surroundings. Spread out along five miles of rail corridor, the latest project from the City of Philadelphia’s Mural Arts Program, by Berlin-based artist Katharina Grosse, is intended to do just the opposite.
