PHILADELPHIA (September 30, 2015) -- The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) hosts the fourth season of The Review Panel Philadelphia, an annual series of four panel discussions about contemporary art moderated by artcritical.com's David Cohen. Each panel will feature a group of distinguished critics to critique exhibitions on view in Philadelphia.

On Wednesday, October 7 at 6 p.m., David Cohen will be joined by guest panelists Mark Blavat, Jennifer Samet and A.M. Weaver.

The Review Panel Philadelphia is free to the public and takes place in PAFA's Hamilton Auditorium of the Historic Landmark Building, 118 North Broad Street. Each panel discussion runs approximately 90 minutes and features a brief presentation about the exhibitions under review, followed by a critical debate and an opportunity for the audience to respond.

The season's first installment of The Review Panel Philadelphia will discuss the following exhibitions chosen by David Cohen and his panelists:

• Cynthia Hopkins: Memorabilia and Nate Young: The Unseen Evidence Of Things Substantiated at Fabric Workshop and Museum
• Pepón Osorio: ReForm at Temple Contemporary, Tyler School of Art
• Scott Kip: Transitional Objects at Marginal Utility
• Steven Baris: The Smoothest Of All Possible Space at Pentimenti Gallery

Inspired by the popular series of New York-based public programs founded in 2004 by artcritical.com and moderated by David Cohen, The Review Panel Philadelphia creates an informed dialogue about Philadelphia's art and artists and connects students and the public with the local arts community.
