Her commitment to quality, innovation and creativity is revolutionizing plant-based cuisine in Philadelphia.

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.

Eugene Lew • HUNGRYMONSTERS
Philadelphia-based guide, producer, educator, and organizer primarily engaged in the performance, design, access, management, transformation, (attempted) capture, storage, and playback of shared IRL experiences – with a slight sound/music bias. The fleeting moment, aggregate independent decision-making, and stochastic phenomena are especially fascinating and vital to his practice and general existence. He welcomes serendipitous collaborations and treasures long-term partnerships that seek to navigate and explore the constant cycle of remembering-learning-forgetting-reconstructing. https://hungrymonsters.net

Termite TV Collective makes media to challenge rigid structures through formal disruption, experimental methods, and community engagement. Just as the subterranean termite tears away at structural foundations through ingenuity and collective practice, Termite TV Collective believes that an expanded visual language is the vehicle for imagining new futures and provoking new thinking on pressing issues of our time. We work collectively and collaboratively, encouraging the freedom to explore with a sense of playfulness, spontaneity, and discovery. Through individual expression radiating out from common themes, Termites co-create space for idea sharing and collective world-building.

 

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. 

 

 

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.
