Becoming / Collective

Vox Populi’s 2017 New Member’s cohort each examine the body through various lenses—its ecological, socio-political, and animal imbrications—in the group exhibition WE ARE THE FRUITING BODY. We are enmeshed in these concerns and in each other, separated and joined by our ways of seeing; a manifold unit.

X+1 _ Vox Accelerated
February 2 - 18, 2018Opening: Friday, February 2, 2018 | 6 - 10PM
A collective exhibition kicked off by a single artwork selected for response by members, who in turn select artworks in a process akin to internet surfing where one connection leads to the next. The fast and open procedure reflects some aspects of creative practice and artistic networks.
For this exhibition I selected the work of Aislinn Pentecost-Farren and Corey Chao, American Immigrants, a series of photos and stories about US citizens who have moved to Mexico.
More about the project can be found on the American Immigrants project page.
