Site/Sound: Revealing the Rail Park
Site/Sound: Revealing the Rail Park took place over three weeks in October 2019, weaving together audio and visual elements along the historical footprint of the Reading Railroad in Philadelphia. Celebrate the past, present, and future of the rail corridor with public events and installations—a unique collaborative project in partnership with Friends of the Rail Park and American Composers Forum (ACF), Philadelphia Chapter.
Three core installations took place in locations bounded by Vine & Spring Garden Streets and 9th & 18th Streets:
Installation 1: Aspect 281, by Carolyn Healy & John JH Phillips
Installation 2a/b/c: Soon/ Now/ Gone, by Erik Ruin & Rosie Langabeer
Installation 3: Moon Viewing Platform, by Nadia Hironaka, Matthew Suib, & Eugene Lew

Site/Sound: Revealing the Rail Park was supported by the William Penn Foundation, PNC Arts Alive, and PECO. Additional funding provided by the National Endowment for the Arts.
