FringeFest
They dance all night, they make art, they raise money. So where does Penn Medicine fit in? Everywhere.

We had two weeks.
Penn Medicine was sponsoring Philadelphia’s annual FringeFest, an all-night marathon dance and outsider art freakout. They asked us to pick a local artist and direct him in creating a mural on-site that night, in a way that dovetailed with our Immunorevolution campaign.
I worked with the artist to nail down the design, which featured revolutionary street art motifs. We didn’t want to brand the artwork, obviously, so I asked the artist to place a few discreet icons within, and developed a kiosk display that explained their significance in the rarified realm of immunogenetics.
After the festival, the work was divided in four discreet panels, each of which was displayed in a different part of the hospital.
