Fortress at Cherry Street Pier - Through February 24

The Delaware River Waterfront Corporation presents “Fortress” at Cherry Street Pier. The exhibition features artwork by two Philadelphia-based artists, Saskia Fleishman and Carrie R., and DRWC programming coordinator Libby Rosa has curated it.

Hung throughout the exhibition space are Saskia Fleishman’s serene landscape prints on sheer chiffon. Fleishman’s prints capture lively sunsets, full moons, and sunrises, representing transitional moments of the day that emphasize life’s transience while encouraging contemplation. Carrie R’s freestanding plaster and aqua resin sculptures are displayed on the ground, in contrast to Fleishman’s hanging works. These sculptures are pointy, plant-like, and biomorphic in form, containing thematic elements of fear, solitude, self-preservation, and beauty. Together, Saskia Fleishman and Carrie R’s artwork creates a protected and idealized landscape that can only be viewed through rectangular glances. The exhibition is set at Cherry Street Pier, which overlooks the Delaware River, providing an ideal backdrop for the artwork and emphasizing the connection between nature and human experience.
