Winifred Lutz – Serving Time

Winifred Lutz created an installation entitled Serving Time for Eastern State Penitentiary’s first art show. “Prison Sentences: The Prison as Subject” was an exhibition of temporary site-specific installations from May 17 to October 29, 1995. Lutz describes it as “a hell of a show”. Her installation was in several cells in Cellblock 1.

Images of the work and descriptive text written by the artist are available on Lutz’ website.
