This installation features six illuminated art panels hand crafted by Lisa Marie Patzer Studios. The visuals are inspired from photographic 35mm slides shot by Ben Kabakow, a NYC postal worker and photographer. Kabakow travelled the world throughout the mid-1900's, capturing images of urban features such as buildings, cars, signs, and people. With color, pattern, and a retro-graphic design, Lisa Marie reimagines scenes from Ben's travels with a surreal and whimsical aesthetic.
Lisa Marie Patzer is a digital media artist, designer, and entrepreneur creating site-specific art that integrates light, pattern, historic imagery, and vibrant color.

Through historical accounts, guided tours, and hands-on activities, learn how people at Eastern State Penitentiary marked holidays like Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year’s Day—finding moments of light, connection, and meaning within the confines of prison life. These stories reflect not only the traditions of the time, but also the deep human need for hope and community, even in the harshest conditions.
The program also invites reflection on the experiences of incarcerated people today. Across the U.S. people in prisons and jails continue to observe holidays—sometimes with support, often with significant restrictions.
Shared Light: Winter Celebrations at Eastern State offers an opportunity to consider the lasting impact of incarceration on people, families, and communities during a season traditionally centered around togetherness. All programs included with standard admission.

In collaboration with Pam Tanowitz and Zack Winokur
Directed by Zack Winokur, Choregraphed by Pam Tanowitz
Developed by SCENE and AMOC*
Performed in English, Italian, and Latin with English supertitles
You could say Vivaldi had a kind of synesthesia when writing The Four Seasons. What does being cold feel and sound like? MacArthur Award-winning playwright and librettist Sarah Ruhl joins Anthony Roth Costanzo to co-conceive a tapestry of Vivaldi’s music, telling an original story about a world in which the seasons are completely out of order. Tony Award-winning set designer Mimi Lien collaborates with M.I.T. materials technologist Jack Forman to fuse art and science, bringing atmospheric events to the stage.

This installation features six illuminated art panels hand crafted by Lisa Marie Patzer Studios. The visuals are inspired from photographic 35mm slides shot by Ben Kabakow, a NYC postal worker and photographer. Kabakow travelled the world throughout the mid-1900's, capturing images of urban features such as buildings, cars, signs, and people. With color, pattern, and a retro-graphic design, Lisa Marie reimagines scenes from Ben's travels with a surreal and whimsical aesthetic.
Lisa Marie Patzer is a digital media artist, designer, and entrepreneur creating site-specific art that integrates light, pattern, historic imagery, and vibrant color. In recognition of her exceptional contributions to the field, she received the prestigious Pew Fellowship in the Arts in 2019.

Through historical accounts, guided tours, and hands-on activities, learn how people at Eastern State Penitentiary marked holidays like Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year’s Day—finding moments of light, connection, and meaning within the confines of prison life. These stories reflect not only the traditions of the time, but also the deep human need for hope and community, even in the harshest conditions.
The program also invites reflection on the experiences of incarcerated people today. Across the U.S. people in prisons and jails continue to observe holidays—sometimes with support, often with significant restrictions.
Shared Light: Winter Celebrations at Eastern State offers an opportunity to consider the lasting impact of incarceration on people, families, and communities during a season traditionally centered around togetherness. All programs included with standard admission.

With color, pattern, and a retro-graphic design, Lisa Marie reimagines scenes from Ben's travels with a surreal and whimsical aesthetic.

Through historical accounts, guided tours, and hands-on activities, learn how people at Eastern State Penitentiary marked holidays like Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year’s Day—finding moments of light, connection, and meaning within the confines of prison life. These stories reflect not only the traditions of the time, but also the deep human need for hope and community, even in the harshest conditions.
The program also invites reflection on the experiences of incarcerated people today. Across the U.S. people in prisons and jails continue to observe holidays—sometimes with support, often with significant restrictions.
Shared Light: Winter Celebrations at Eastern State offers an opportunity to consider the lasting impact of incarceration on people, families, and communities during a season traditionally centered around togetherness. All programs included with standard admission.

Through historical accounts, guided tours, and hands-on activities, learn how people at Eastern State Penitentiary marked holidays like Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year’s Day—finding moments of light, connection, and meaning within the confines of prison life. These stories reflect not only the traditions of the time, but also the deep human need for hope and community, even in the harshest conditions.
The program also invites reflection on the experiences of incarcerated people today. Across the U.S. people in prisons and jails continue to observe holidays—sometimes with support, often with significant restrictions.
Shared Light: Winter Celebrations at Eastern State offers an opportunity to consider the lasting impact of incarceration on people, families, and communities during a season traditionally centered around togetherness. All programs included with standard admission.

Through historical accounts, guided tours, and hands-on activities, learn how people at Eastern State Penitentiary marked holidays like Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year’s Day—finding moments of light, connection, and meaning within the confines of prison life. These stories reflect not only the traditions of the time, but also the deep human need for hope and community, even in the harshest conditions.
The program also invites reflection on the experiences of incarcerated people today. Across the U.S. people in prisons and jails continue to observe holidays—sometimes with support, often with significant restrictions.
Shared Light: Winter Celebrations at Eastern State offers an opportunity to consider the lasting impact of incarceration on people, families, and communities during a season traditionally centered around togetherness. All programs included with standard admission.

This First Friday, stop into the Museum for Art in Wood and experience its current exhibitions. On view in the main gallery, A Usable Past: Reflections on a Nation and Its Inheritance, brings together sculpture by twelve artists who reckon with America’s layered histories. A powerful exhibition, drawing on the metaphorical power inherent in the material of wood, these artists translate inheritance into form, giving “shape and substance to national identity.” In addition, on view in the Museums Research Library is the collection-themed exhibition American Graffiti: Painting, Dyeing, and Surface Design in Wood, which follows the rebellious, experimental, and often quirky spirit of artists who dare to obscure the unadulterated beauty of wood grain.
While visitors are at the Museum, explore its permanent collection featuring over 1,400 objects and shop the Museum Store for unique handmade objects, jewelry, artworks, and books.

Kabakow travelled the world throughout the mid-1900's, capturing images of urban features such as buildings, cars, signs, and people. With color, pattern, and a retro-graphic design, Lisa Marie reimagines scenes from Ben's travels with a surreal and whimsical aesthetic.

A tableau is a picturesque grouping of persons or objects to create a striking or artistic scene. Historically, these scenes were drawn from history, mythology or religious text. I have captured the natural forms of dried paulownia leaves and recast them as colorful elements in this paulownia tableau. The leaves are supported by paulownia branches and wood bits. This composition is meant to stimulate your imagination and provide a closer look at the natural world.
