The canal is coming up to Main Street. With a new art installation presented by the Manayunk Development Corporation and the Philadelphia Mural Arts Progam, "Escaped Infrastructure"debuts at Canal View Park in Manayunk Friday. "Main Street in Manayunk is busy, and the towpath is quiet. Wewanted to bring the towpath to eye level for Main Street,"artist Lucy Begg said. Begg, along with Robert Gay and the team at Thoughtbarn, designedan interactive light sculpture and water fountain that is builtinto the Manayunk Canal off Main and Conarroe Streets.
Through July29, the Austin, TX, based group will exhibit the interactivefountain. The installation is one of three projects the Manayunk SpecialServices District funded, in addition to 30 paintings aroundManayunk and the turtle crosswalks. As a partnership withthe Mural Art Program, the MDC organized an live art exhibitthat presents the canal to the people. "We wanted it to be interactive to bring in people to our beautifulboardwalk and canal," MDC Executive Director Jane Lipton said.
Gay described the setup as five sump pumps submerged in the canalin lobster-trap like devices. Each is hooked up to its own set ofclear PVC tubes, and water will be pumped through following atrigger from motion sensors. GU10 LED Spotlight will shine the path. He said Thoughtbarns's art inspirations are site specific. "Ouridea was escaped infrastructures.
How can you think of thetowpath's environment," he said, adding that by pumping the canalwater out, the audience can see the water quality for themselves. In establishing the project, Lipton said the MDC immediatelybrought the city's public arts project onboard. "When we think about public arts, we immediately think of the MuralArts Program," Lipton said. With the Mural Arts Program, MDC members evaluated hundreds ofnational applications to find something perfect for the canal. Mural Arts Executive Director Jane Golden said the artists sharedthe Mural Arts Program's mission in arts "are integrated with thecity and community," she said, adding the art incorporates 21stcentury modernism in light, sound and technology.
The six-week run debuts Friday with a public unveiling from 5 to 7p.m. During the Manayunk Arts Festival, June 23 and 24, Lipton saidthey would also spotlight the exhibit. "We have joggers, runners and cyclists passing by 24 hours a day.People are already stopping and asking what's going on we wantthat," Lipton said. The Canal View Park installation will be joined by canal muralscompleted by third, fifth and eighth grade students from Dobson Elementary School.
