iVox PopuliCallowhill / Chinatown North
Curated by Logan Cryer, an interview-based show about how Philadelphia artists build, sustain and leave collectives, with new work by Aaron Terry, Ollie Goss, Gregory Donnell Parker and catia colagioia.
Logan Cryer asked more than 13 Philadelphia artists about life inside an artist collective: how they got in, what kept the group going, and how they left. Four Vox members, Aaron Terry, Ollie Goss, Gregory Donell Parker and catia colagioia, then met to talk through the conflicts and triumphs in those interviews, and each made a new work in reply.
So you walk into the second half of a conversation. The four bring different kits: Terry is a printmaker who works in multiples, Goss a puppeteer who animates objects and re-tooled electronics, colagioia a sculptor of found urban debris, Parker a writer. Vox itself began in 1988 as an idea talked over beers at Dirty Franks.
Entry is free, on Vox's third floor at 319 North 11th Street, alongside the rest of An Endless Meeting. Open Thursdays 4 to 6pm and Friday to Sunday 12 to 6pm until 15 November. Five steps lead to a lift with a 29-inch door; email director@voxpopuligallery.org ahead for ramp access.
