Group X and the Philadelphia Navy Yard announce their latest public art installation, Tape Philadelphia: Enter the Cocoon (#NavyYardCocoon), an interactive tape sculpture created by experimental European arts collective Numen/For Use. This temporary experience was installed inside 1701 Langley Avenue (Building 694) at the Navy Yard, latching onto the building’s existing structural beams using a staggering 21.5 miles of translucent tape - the distance of the Broad Street Run course from start to the finish line at the Navy Yard and back!

Open hours are Thursdays and Fridays at 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.; and Saturdays and Sundays at 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The installation will be closed on November 28 for Thanksgiving, as well as November 17.
