Curatorial note

Seen at the curb in North Philadelphia, the front-end ruin exposes the radiator and tangled wiring, anchoring the piece in the streetscape. Acquired January 2026 through a Police Department commission, the work registers as a sustained residue of urban mobility on the city’s surface. After 98 days on view, it remains a durable record of ongoing spatial disruption.
