For the exhibition Taken with Time: a camera obscura project<\/em>, 2006, Ann Hamilton, Vera Lutter and Abelardo Morell were invited to Philadelphia to create new works using camera obscuras<\/a>. (The camera obscura is a photographic device that captures an optical phenomenon in which light entering a darkened space through a small hole produces an image of the outside environment.) The artists worked in a variety of spaces in the city, from the Philadelphia Museum of Art<\/a>, to a shipping crate in the Cira Center parking garage, to the Free Library<\/a>. The process and cameras themselves became sculptural and interactive, as each artist used the medium in innovative and groundbreaking ways. Through this project, dozens of artworks created by these world-class artists became part of numerous Permanent Collections in Philadelphia, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Rosenbach Library<\/a> and Carpenter\u2019s Hall<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This project and the subsequent publication<\/a> were funded by the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
