As a real-estate developer and architect, Gary Reuben (above) can be found making a living through his work as the owner and operator of the Wolf Building, on Callowhill at 12th Street. After purchasing the building in 1997 with his business partner Gary Reisner, Reuben, 60, made the decision to rent space out to artists. Today, the building houses 50 apartments, more than 130,000 square feet for both commercial space and non-profit agencies, and Underground Arts, a music venue located in the building’s basement.

For Dave Kyu, the messages hovering over Philadelphia would represent almost two years of work. But his masterpiece would literally fade away in minutes.

Midday Sunday, five World War II-style aircraft took off from Long Island to make the 45-minute trip to Philadelphia to realize Kyu’s project, Write Sky.

The planes would spell out three messages, composed by teams of people who live and work in Philadelphia’s Callowhill neighborhood, above the entire city.
