  • 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM

 

When David Lynch moved to Philadelphia in the late 1960s to attend PAFA, he discovered a city that was both terrifying and inspiring. Explore the neighborhood just blocks away from PAFA that so electrified Lynch’s imagination with two guides: Hidden City’s Peter Woodall and Lynch–and Eraserhood–aficionado, Bob Bruhin. During this one-and-a-half hour walking tour, we’ll delve into the area’s industrial history, as well as the sights and sounds that inspired Lynch’s movies, particularly Eraserhead.

Tickets: Hidden City Philadelphia – Exploring David Lynch’s “Eraserhood”

The Eraserhood Might Not Be a Thing, But the Rail Park Is – Cool Map Thing – Curbed Philly

Bob Bruhin

A short while ago, the City Planning Commission passed a bill authorizing the City to acquire an portion of the elevated rail line known as the “Viaduct,” and to lease a portion of the property to SEPTA. Those following the development of ‘Philadelphia’s High Line’ know that this means Phase I of The Rail Park is officially underway, with plans still to break ground later in 2015. To all of you, this means that one of the hottest public spaces in Philadelphia is coming soon to the Eraserhood. Or Callowhill. Whatever. You’re gonna want to be here when it does.

#PAFADavidLynch David Lynch: Six Men Getting Sick – Ends This Week!! | PAFA – Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts

Bob Bruhin

One night while painting an image of garden plants in his studio at PAFA, David Lynch (b. 1946) experienced something that changed his life. He paused from work and looked at the canvas only to perceive sound and motion coming from within. “I’m looking at the painting and from the painting came a wind. . . And the green garden plants began to move. . . And I’m looking at this and hearing this and I say, ‘Oh, a moving painting.’ And that was it.”
