9th STREET STOCK EXCHANGE, by artist Jon Rubin 

The project will begin on October 12 and run through December 7, 2016. It will take place along South 9th Street between Christian and Federal Streets in South Philadelphia.

This is a new project and a collaboration with Mural Arts Philadelphia and curator, Theresa Rose.

This fall, the historic 9th Street Market turns into a participatory public art project. Led by artist Jon Rubin, the 9th Street Stock Exchange is a new system of economic and material exchange, which connects neighboring businesses in the market that are often separated by cultural and socioeconomic differences. The participating stores will be displaying and selling selected products from each other’s businesses on a weekly rotation, facilitating new social connections by experimentally incorporating an aspect of each other’s identity into their own.

A circle of trust is constructed through the project as each participant business becomes familiar and invested in a small way in the commercial welfare of the others. Products that are culturally specific and expected by a regular customer in one business become strangely incongruous and newly present through this weekly act of dislocation.

Participating businesses include:
(listed north to south)

  • Betty Ann’s Italian Market Florist, 902 S 9th St
  • Fante’s Kitchen Shop,1006 S 9th St
  • Molly’s Books and Records, 1010 S 9th St
  • J & J Discount, 1018 S 9th St
  • Alejandra Boutique, 1102 S 9th St
  • Casanova Music Center, 1137 S 9th St
  • Botánica Sigua,1167 S 9th St
  • Chocolate Arts and Crafts, 1168 S 9th St

Audiences can gain a deeper understanding of the project and the participating businesses by signing up for a tour, which will be held on select Sundays during the project: October 16 and 30 (bilingual tour), November 13 and 20 (bilingual tour) and December 4 (bilingual tour).

The project will begin on October 12 and run through December 7, 2016. It will take place along South 9th Street between Christian and Federal Streets in South Philadelphia.

Este es un nuevo proyecto y una colaboración con Mural Arts Philadelphia y curadora Theresa Rose.

Este otoño, el Mercado histórico de la Calle 9 se convierta a un proyecto participativo de arte público. Dirigido por el artista Jon Rubin, la Bolsa de Valores de la Calle 9 es un nuevo sistema de intercambio económico y material que conecta a los negocios vecinos en el mercado que frecuentemente están separados por diferencias culturales y socioeconómicas. Las tiendas participantes exhibirán y vendrán determinados productos de los demás negocios en una rotación semanal, facilitando nuevas conexiones sociales al incorporar experimentalmente un aspecto de cada identidad en la de ellos.

Un círculo de confianza es construido a través del proyecto, ya que cada negocio participante se familiariza e involucra en un una manera pequeña en el bienestar comercial de los demás participantes. Los productos que son culturalmente específicos y anticipados por un cliente regular en un negocio, son convertidos extrañamente incongruente y se presenten de nuevo por este acto semanal de dislocación.
