“Winter Fountains” (2017) by Jennifer Steinkamp 

Jennifer Steinkamp's "Winter Fountains," a major installation presented by the Parkway Council and commissioned by the Association for Public Art (aPA), served as a centerpiece for Parkway 100, the centennial celebration of Philadelphia's Benjamin Franklin Parkway. "Winter Fountains" was on view along the Parkway from November 30, 2017 - March 18, 2018, nightly from sunset to midnight, and was made possible with major support from the William Penn Foundation.
Inspired by the signature fountains of the Parkway, the installation features four 13ft-high and 26ft-wide architectural domes - metaphorical winter fountains - that glow with Steinkamp’s dream-like animated video projections. The imagery reimagines the formation of electricity in clouds, inspired by Benjamin Franklin’s research and evoking the art and science explorations represented by the Parkway institutions.
Additional support is provided by the Association for Public Art (aPA); The Logan, Philadelphia’s Hotel; and individual donors. In-kind support is provided by Visit Philadelphia, Pennoni, The Franklin Institute, and Urban Sign. Our partners include the City of Philadelphia and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation.
Parkway 100 is also made possible through the generous leadership support of PECO, PNC Bank, and 6abc.
