Curatorial note

Seen at street level, a mound of refuse dominates the curb in front of a modest residence. A lime-green object peeks from the pile, providing a focal point within the orange container. Since its acquisition in January 2026, the piece has occupied its curbside position for 96 days on view, anchoring the North Philadelphia collection.
