When PhilaMOCA isn’t running more than 250 shows per year, the space is quiet. The half-dozen volunteers relax and watch a film on the large screen in the space, including Sean Coleman, an eighth grader who lives a few blocks away.

Coleman is PhilaMOCA’s “mascot,” as described by the venue’s director and curator, Eric Bresler. Coleman’s smiling face can be seen on a mural near the front of the building.

Bresler said he considers most of the work at the Philadelphia Mausoleum of Contemporary Art “unclassifiable.” The multi-purpose art space hosts concerts, film screenings and other art-related events he said goes against the mainstream arts.
