“At One and the Same Time: An Exploration of Poetry and Art.” Highwire will exhibit a selection of its member artwork at The Soapbox’s space at 741 S. 51st Street in Philadelphia. The guests at the exhibit will be encouraged to write poetry in response to the artwork on display. In collaboration with Highwire Gallery, The Soapbox will create a zine from this poetry and distribute it during the exhibition. The creation of poetry inspired by art – and art inspired by poetry – will continue through December at The Soapbox.

Visual Effigy 2008-2013 at VOX POPULI, a selection of videos by David Dempewolf of Marginal Utility. Since 2008 David Dempewolf has been producing videos that simulate perceived stereoscopic vision and mental imagery. These videos portray daydreams, sheets of memory, and moments of reverie. Through a stuttering investigation of phenomenology, the poetry of Paul Celan and the inherited legacy of American experimental film, Dempewolf has been attempting to force the moving image to mimic the processes of thought. These investigations will be presented in three video reels.

Every so often, the members of Grizzly Grizzly have the opportunity to show our own work together. This is always an exciting opportunity, but we, as members of a curatorial collective, struggle with the context of these group exhibitions. Do we show together only because we curate together? Should we have an overarching conceptual agenda? How will we make the work not look like a faculty show? One of the things that make Grizzly Grizzly's programming exciting is that our membership is diverse, and not limited to one aesthetic or agenda; that makes for a challenge when organizing shows of our own work.

TRACTION COMPANY: subTRACTIONA collaborative installation that figuratively brings TRACTION COMPANY to NAPOLEON subTRACTION is TRACTION COMPANY’s first collaborative sculptural project, a one-sixth scale model of the collective’s gargantuan sculpture shop. Inspired by CITYWIDE’s celebration of collaboration, subTRACTION represents in miniature the fruit of six years of collective effort—the ongoing transformation of a former trolley manufacturing warehouse into a fully equipped hub of artistic activity. Conceived of and constructed by TRACTION COMPANY’s 13 members, subTRACTION invites viewers to encounter the facility’s shared studios, tools, and detritus on an intimate, personal level.

Afterlife is a collaborative installation that transfers the everyday lives of Space 1026′s collective members into the eternal space after death. In a brief, blissful act of existential reinvention, the 1026ers spark a torch of ancient burial practices with the construction of a monumental shrine devoted to and comprised of artwork by its current and former members. Afterlife represents a continuation of the collective’s 16 year commitment to providing open space where a creative individual is free to work and make mistakes, in addition to the collective’s long standing comic appreciation for human error, second chances, and the opportunity for spiritual rebirth.
