Vox Populi presents Solid Gold, a group exhibition juried by Adelina Vlas, Assistant Curator for Modern and Contemporary Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and Sarah McEneaney. Artist.

Vox Populi is proud to announce the opening of its 4th Annual Juried Exhibition. This year's exhibition entitled Solid Gold brings together 24 emerging artists from the Philadelphia area and from around the country. Since Vox’s inception in 1988, Vox Populi’s mission has been to support the work of new and emerging artists and to show new and emerging art forms. With this exhibition, the tradition continues.

This year’s show includes work by: D. B. Stovall, Mike Smith, Daniel Payavis, Serena Perrone, Corrie Tice, Cara Erskine, Robert Goodman, Emily Denlinger, Nathan Prouty, Amy Lincoln, Rachel Frank, Jonathan Schoff, William Lohre, R. Nick Barbee. Mark Klassen, Daniel Gerwin, Hannah Smith Allen, Abby Donovan, Lee Arnold, Bang-Geul Han, Pamela Sunstrum, Edward Carey, Samuel Ekwurtzel, and Zach Rockhill.

The artists were selected from a pool of over 250 applicants by Adelina Vlas, Assistant Curator for Modern and Contemporary Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and Sarah McEneaney, Artist.

Vlas and McEneaney selected a wide range of mediums- painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, interactive installation, video, ceramics- and artists who were investigating, challenging, and mastering those mediums the materials and techniques they employ. Concurrently, the artists in Solid Gold represent a broad range of subject matters, ranging from serious questioning of social issues and investigation of language and gender, to the creation of humorous and at times absurd scenarios.

AT SCREENING
George Stadnik
Primordial Soup
George Stadnik’s 1975 video Primordial Soup, represents an early building block of video-art-history. Fusing the synaesthetic experiments of Thomas Wilfred (the creator of a form of light sculpture called Lumia) with the pioneering video synthesis techniques associated with Nam June Paik and Peter Campus, Stadnik’s combination of electronically-manipulated imagery and sound references the corporeal as well as the very genesis of video art.
Primordial Soup was created on the Paik Abe Video Synthesizer at WGBH’s legendary program for the creation and development of experimental video art, the New Television Workshop, under a Rockefeller Foundation Grant. An original electronic score was provided by Bill Gangi, founder Kasner Gooch Multi Sensory Arts.
