Aaron Igler (born 1972) is an artist with a fervent curiosity for the collection, modulation, and amplification of sound and light. Through the arrangement of field-recorded audio, electronic sounds, and video images in live performances and installation-based works, Igler seeks to create transposable spaces and experiences. In the early 2000s, he launched Lighting for Urban Rooftop Environments (LURE) to curate and produce collaborative art projects in outdoor venues. As a sonic practitioner performing under the moniker Sound Forager, Igler champions the generative potential and creative inspiration he discovers through modular synthesis. Igler is a founding Partner of the Philadelphia-based design and production firm Greenhouse Media.
This program is co-presented by Collaborative Cataloging Japan and the Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia in partnership with the Parkway Council and Philadelphia Parks and Recreation as part of the 2024 Oval.
The project is part of the exhibition, Community of Images: Japanese Moving Image Artists in the US, 1960s-1970s. It is funded by the Pola Art Foundation and Japan Foundation.
Major support for the Community of Images exhibition has been provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, with additional support from the Andy Warhol Foundation, the Toshiba International Foundation, and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.
Community of Images: Japanese Moving Image Artists in the US, 1960s - 1970s
Community of Images: Japanese Moving Image Artists in the US, 1960s-1970s will be an exhibition of experimental moving images created by Japanese artists in the U.S. during the 1960s and 70s, an area that has fallen in the fissure between American and Japanese archival priorities.
