Institute of Contemporary Art

Situated on the University of Pennsylvania campus, this institution functions as a non-collecting museum, focusing its energy on ever-changing exhibitions and artist residencies rather than permanent displays. The space functions as a venue for site-specific commissions and public programming, operating as an active launchpad for contemporary works. Because the museum is not a static repository, the experience shifts with each rotation. While it sits a distance from the center of Philadelphia, it remains reachable via the metro system. Note that the building lacks an on-site cafeteria for visitors.
