"I think most of them are made in Canada," says Ben.
Conny Purtill & Christoph Keller - Beyond Kiosk - Installation, 2008
BEYOND KIOSK: The current Ramp Project at the Philadelphia Institute of Contemporary Art. A grand selection of printed matter from independent publishers.

Favorite Specimens
A traveling buddy described this place as a "Tree Mortuary".
Sometimes I love forests...but all of the time - I love artwork.
