Artifacts from Krampuslauf Philadelphia: A Group Exhibition
iMPeRFeCT Gallery, 5601 Greene Street, Philadelphia
Saturday, January 18
Opening Reception, 6 p.m. - 9 p.m.


iMPeRFeCT Gallery is proud to exhibit artifacts made by Krampuslauf Philadelphia artists, plus photographs of their procession and its festivities over the last three Decembers -- including an enormous glowing goat-bird hybrid referred to as "harbinger of Death."

Since 2011, Krampuslauf Philadelphia, a winter ritual and community procession based loosely on Alpine tradition, is held in Liberty Lands Park in Northern Liberties. Throughout the year, masks, lanterns, noisemakers, puppets and costumes are made in public workshops and in family homes for use in this event.

Friday's opening will include an outdoor performance by fire and belly dancers, Krampuslauf Philadelphia sisters Lux Arati, and music by Ed Wilcox and John Cecil Price.

This exhibit runs from through February 8. There will also be a new installation in the gallery's Red Room by Baron Roane.
