PHILADELPHIA—A new exhibit by Aleksandra Mir didn’t go over so well at the Philadelphia Inquirer, not because of a bad review but because it was located in the newspaper’s public room and some employees took offense. Titled “Newsroom 2009,” the exhibit consists of eight collaged section-front pages of the Inquirer and focuses on women as presented in the paper’s pages. Often text and image are juxtaposed in a jarring way, such as a photograph of female roller bladders wrapped around text describing women "power brokers.”

The exhibit is part of Hidden City, a month-long arts festival taking place in historic spaces across the city. But now those venues no longer include the Inquirer’s public room, often used as a gallery space by such institutions as the Moore College of Art. Philadelphia Newspapers, which owns the Inquirer, has decided to move “Newsroom 2009” off the premises.
