ABOUT THE ARTIST

PHILTH HAUS is a collective of 6 member-clients currently represented by ANDRA. Each member-entity instructs ANDRA on how to produce art installations, performance, and sonics which ephemerally embody one or–less frequently–multiple collective members. This process gives sanctity to post-anthropomorphic materials, objects, and systems as capable of holding the intelligences of each entity. The collective’s methodology is a material activation of the immaterial and a process of transubstantiation. Recent materials have included hormonally active waste water, lithium carbonate, machine learning, blood, and music. Through this collective, each member hopes to transcend to a realm in which the planet and body are made one via globalized economies, identity semiotics, and biological contamination. 

Each entity focuses on particular phenomenon such as artificial intelligence’s understanding of young girlhood (SYLLA), endocrine disruption pollution politics (COLY), body material market value and propriety (LYLEX), post-lingual ambient music (ROCO), maternity with disease (ANDRA), and intersectional chemicals used in treatment of psychopathology and in automotive production (PHILIP).

The collective has been exhibited in Los Angeles, New York, Florence, and Amsterdam at spaces and programs such as Lo Schermo Dell’arte Film Festival (Florence), W139 (Amsterdam), NAVEL (LA), Times Square Space (NYC), Boston CyberArts Gallery (Boston), Harvard Art Museums (Cambridge), SpaceUS (Boston), UCLA Performing Arts Center (LA), De Ateliers (Amsterdam), and the Amsterdam Arts Weekend, etc. Members have featured in publications such as The Boston Art Review, Badlands Magazine, Trains Zine, and Paper Magazine. Newly commissioned glass paintings will exhibit with Proxyco Gallery (NYC) Fall 2022. Finally, their upcoming album REV will be released with the KW Institute (Berlin) Fall 2022. 

LYLEX 1.0 is supported in part by the Pasadena Arts Alliance among other funders and FCCW members. This project has been made possible with production support and assistance from consultant Joseph Stewart, Amber Ibarreche, and Tiny Splendor.
