Pimoca: Philadelphia Interactive Museum of Contemporary Art, 1230 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA (2024)

Thats what Philly’s art region brings in annually. Philadelphia creative arts generate more $$$ than sports, retail and medicine (According to the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance). Currently there is no “contemporary art stadium” for our existing resources in the Philadelphia art market to interact. We have an enormous fiscally healthy Contemporary Art COMMUNITY, with no central place for t

hat community to hold CONVERSATION. As Executive Director of The Philadelphia Salon I have made it my goal for the past seventeen years to provide a place for the community to converse: linking local artists to local resources in personal and direct ways. Now, as founder of PIMOCA I want Philadelphia to be the Nation's leader in collaborative consumption and sustainable philanthropy. We have proven that personal Conversation drives Commerce. Conversation happens when people are interactive. Lets build a place to get together and talk. Let's build PIMOCA: Philadelphia Interactive Museum of Contemporary Art.

The board approved the hemorrhaging of tens of millions for things like

-Board outings at Diamond auctions at Freeman’s

-500$ designer chairs in lobbies that became broken/stolen/painted in one semester.

-sexual assault lawsuits due to blatently not adhering to Title 9

-building and naming an auditorium after a woman who left 20 million dollars but not honoring her will and collecting none of her art as requested

-Wine parties every year for the wealthy

I could go on….

Who is surprised?

Not I.

A soon- to- be 94 year old living-legend will be seated here this evening talking about her career and artwork.

Please come tour the art and hear Arlene Love from 4-8pm. Additional open gallery hours with curator Amie Potsic are 11am-4pm prior to the discussion.

Not many women had a career alongside contemporaries such as Louise Bourgeois, during the lifetime of Picasso and Calder.

Don’t miss this chance to listen and see history.

Today, Friday March 1 from 4-8pm at 1230 South Broad Street.

Special thanks to Katie Dillon Low for her excellent work handling and hanging the art, and to Curtis, Karen, and Teresa C. Nino for their extensive work prepping the space.

In 2011 I proposed we build a Contemporary Museum in Philadelphia. Pimoca: Philadelphia Interactive Museum of Contemporary Art was just a PHD proposal I had typed up on paper. It was an expansion of an idea I had in undergrad when doing student government. I made a 16 foot banner so that everyday when I woke up I would see my goal in writing.

Lots of people asked me who I think I am to aim so high. Too young. Too unpolitically connected. Too aggressive. Too unwilling to compromise. Too “ungrateful” for offers of The Divine Lorraine basement or gallerina jobs working for someone else. Mostly criticized for not being a middle aged wealthy male and attempting this project (no female mega-developers in Philly’s history. ZERO.)

I’ve been at it so long that two back to back generations of dogs are buried. Including this guy pictured below.

For fifteen years I would spend my monthly food budget on hosting enormous art salon dinners for strangers and then eat spaghetti and tuna or cereal for myself the rest of the month. FOR FIFTEEN YEARS.

BECAUSE, GOALS Y’ALL. Because I wanted this banner to become reality.

Well. The Interactive Museum of Art opens its doors Feb 9. Our goal is to help existing living arts resources in the Philadelphia area to interact.

We are hosting a solo show for a 93 year old artist:

I hope you will join us. 1230 S Broad St

Feb 9. 5pm-9pm

Thank you to the many people who have been behind me making this a reality. Especially Terry Jue for making this new building happen, Samantha Styles for helping me set salon dinner tables for almost 20 years, Marsha Moss for this opening show opportunity, and several behind the scenes patrons for funding various stages of this project since 2011.

You know who you are!

I WANT IT ALL INTERACTIVE!

They will want it too!

1. COMMUNITY

2. ART

Arlene Love is a groundbreaking feminist artist who has exhibited at some of the greatest art institutions globally such as the NY Met, alongside such legends as Louise Bourgeois.

Philadelphia hosted an international art festival in the 70’s dedicated to influential female artists, including Arlene and Louise. The 50th anniversary of this event is happening this spring!

For the past two years I have been renovating/converting an eight bedroom mansion on South Broad Street to become the Tri-State area’s first Museum dedicated only to living artists and Contemporary Art. Finally the sledgehammering, sawing, hammering, and painting is done.

I’ve been campaigning to build this space since 2011! Let the art shows begin!!!!!

Please join us Feb 9, March 1, or March 10 for the opening, the artist reception, and the closing at 1230 South Broad Street.

For more info or a private showing please contact Amie Potsic or click the link below.
