About the show: Over 9 weeks, 23 media artists from Termite TV & PhillyCAM created 18 short films reflecting on the theme of “Mending.” In Termite’s unique “collage show” format; we collaboratively select a theme, and participating video artists create 1- to 5-minute pieces that relate to the theme. Through this format, we can approach a topic or concept with many different voices and perspectives. This Termite methodology has been described as “video jazz” and “cubist television.” The exhibit also features work created in a series of workshops where artists explored the Mending theme through sewing, photo embroidery, and various painting experiences including botanical watercolors, mixing watercolor and oil pastel, and learning to abstract our perspectives through observation and mixed media.
