Philadelphia Celebrates David Lynch: Try To Understand His PAFA Exhibition Trailer And Discover All Events

Philadelphia, the city that both terrified and inspired David Lynch, is paying tribute to the multidisciplinary artist with dozens of events, starting tonight. The impetus for these celebrations is his first major museum exhibition in the U.S. called David Lynch: The Unified Field at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

A young David Lynch by C.K. Williams

All of Philadelphia had a kind of coal-dust patina and a mood that was just spectacular. There was violence and fear and corruption, insanity, despair, sadness, just in the atmosphere in that city. I loved the people there. All these things, whatever way it was, was my biggest influence.

Philadelphia, the city that both terrified and inspired David Lynch, is paying tribute to the multidisciplinary artist with dozens of events, starting tonight. The impetus for these celebrations is his first major museum exhibition in the U.S. called David Lynch: The Unified Field at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where —as an advanced painting student in 1967— he caught the idea for his first short film, Six Men Getting Sick (Six Times). The career retrospective includes paintings, drawings, short films and installations from his Philly days (1967-1971) until today.
