Vox Populi is a nonprofit art gallery and collective in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1988, [1] it presents experimental art and ideas via monthly shows, performances, and gallery talks. [2] Located on North 11th Street, it is the longest running artist collective in the city. [3]
Among the artists whose work the space has hosted include Kembra Pfahler, Paul Thek, Alvin Baltrop, Taisha Paggett, Adam Pendleton, Cecilia Dougherty, Guy Ben-Ari, [1] Virgil Marti [4] [5] and Brainstormers member Maria Dumlao. [6] Musical performers at their old location on Cherry Street included Gang Gang Dance, Comets on Fire, CocoRosie, Growing, [7] Wolf Eyes [8] and many others.
In 2011, under the Executive Directorship of Andrew Suggs, Vox Populi opened a 1,000-square-foot black box performance space, AUX, which highlights interdisciplinary time-based art with sound art, film screenings, performance, dance, and experimental theater as well as hosting classes, workshops, and other events. [9] AUX has hosted programs with performers and media artists such as Dynasty Handbag, [10] Jacolby Satterwhite, [11] C.A. Conrad, Angela Washko, [12] Ann Hirsch, [13] and Miguel Gutiérrez [14] among others.
Vox is also home to Fourth Wall, a dedicated video lounge which the collective invites outside curators to program for 2 to 3 months at a time. Fourth Wall was founded as an independent gallery within the space called "Screening" in 2007 by collaborative video artists and former members Matthew Suib and Nadia Hironaka. [15]
In 2010, Vox Populi was invited to participate in "No Soul For Sale" at the Tate Modern, a festival of 70 international independent non-commercial art spaces, held in the Turbine Hall as part of the museum's 10th anniversary celebrations. [16] Four years later, Vox Populi hosted the show "Alien She," the first exhibition to examine the lasting impact of Riot Grrrl on artists and cultural producers working now co-curated by Astria Suparak and Ceci Moss. [17]
The galley's programming is made possible in part by funding from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage among other charitable foundations and private individuals. [18]
