SUMMARY:First Friday: Dunu Artists in Residence\, Joy Waldinger and Lee Bird
DESCRIPTION:Termite TV is excited to feature the work of Dunu Artists in Residence\, Joy Waldinger and Lee Bird  at the Termite TV studio at Cherry Street Pier from November 6- December 28th.\n\nJoin us on First Friday November 6th from 5-8pm  for the opening of their featured work to meet the artists. Visit termite.org for opportunities to stop by and meet the artists throughout the month.\n\nThroughout the summer of 2026\, Joy and Lee produced work on site and in collaboration with the Open Kitchen Sculpture Garden. Joy created a collaborative mural onsite and hosted a reading of Trash Crab\, a lovely children’s story of creativity in service of environmental sustainability.\n\nLee hosted workshops to create textile art\, using dyes and botanical printing techniques. Their work centers healing practices and regenerative possibilities.\n\nIn the studio\, they will feature documentation from their residency alongside original work that showcases their unique practices and approaches to building work inspired and rooted in the natural environment.\nJ. Eliza Wall (Joy Elisabeth Waldinger) is a storyteller (artist/writer/filmmaker) and educator from Philadelphia. She writes\, produces\, directs\, films\, and edits her short films. Her work explores various topics—the human condition\, family dynamics\, relationships\, nostalgia\, connection to nature\, and mental and physical health—in an attempt to restore connections in a fractured world. She believes that art is a powerful tool that can generate change and healing on a local and global level. Her short films have won awards in national and international film festivals and she has been published in a variety of literary magazines. In 2020 she published her children’s book Like The Sun Holds The Moon: A Children’s Book and her book\, Like The Sun Holds The Moon: A Novel was published during the lunar eclipse of May 2022 by Little Creek Press. Her newest children’s book (TRASH CRAB) was published by Little Creek Press on Earth Day 2023. \nLee Bird is a queer trans artist\, writer and wonderer in Philadelphia. His work explores themes of joy\, love\, grief\, compassion\, pleasure\, and community care as resistance to dominant culture that devalues all life. Evoking wonder\, curiosity and hope\, Lee makes art that centers reclaimed materials\, as well as homemade and Indigenous-made natural pigments. A self-taught illustrator and painter\, he has more than a decade of experience creating with fibers and textiles\, with a focus on botanical dyeing and natural printing techniques with homegrown plants\, and his practice today combines all of these passions. Lee has also owned his own boutique business making sustainable\, naturally dyed and printed ribbons\, and has been a doll maker and a fashion designer. Lee has a professional background in national nonprofit animal and environmental advocacy\, as well as degrees in poetry writing and literature\, with a focus on ecocritical theory and environmental philosophy.

SUMMARY:Perpetual Repair - Julie Woodard Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This collection threads together four years of mourning\, curiosity\, practice\, and play. Stains\, holes\, and history are stitched behind windowsills\, stuffed into birds\, woven among ocean waves\, and painted above mountain ranges. My work reflects a constellation of ways that mending may manifest in our minds\, bodies\, environment\, and communities. \nArtifacts from lost loved ones\, scraps from strangers\, items purchased secondhand\, and materials salvaged from the street are all transformed and intertwined. Remnants have been hand-dyed with indigo\, screenprinted with pattern\, and stretched to new forms. The process is slow\, and the repair is perpetual.  \nI hope you find a home in this work–something that inspires your own art practice or helps to mend an ache in your heart. Perhaps you’ll be transported to a memory of a walk in the woods\, a birdsong that comforts you\, or a well-loved stoop down your block. Come and sit for a while. There’s always more mending to do. \nLearn more about Julie’s work & follow along at juiceboxworkshop.com and on socials @juiceboxworkshop.

SUMMARY:Multiscreen Film Installations Opening: Unity Island (2023) and Last House (2010) by Carl Lee
DESCRIPTION:Please join Termite TV at [location] on Sunday\, January 13\, 2025 from 5-7:30p for the opening of Carl Lee’s multiscreen film installations Unity Island (2023) and Last House (2010). Both of these three-screen installations take a personal\, intimate approach to interpreting the built environment and how it changes over time.  \nRSVP HERE \nUnity Island (2023\, 3-channel 16mm film to digital projection\, 13:30 loop\, stereo sound)  \nUnity Island is a landscape study of a ¼ mile stretch of land between Niagara River and Black Rock Canal at the border of Buffalo\, NY and Fort Erie\, Ontario. A railroad crosses the island from Canada to the US passing by a park visited by picnickers\, bicyclists\, and fishermen. Freight trains cross the canal lock via a swing bridge which rotates open for boats and the occasional freight ship. The 19th century infrastructure of railroad and swing bridge and the placid public park belie the island’s past as a garbage dump for the city of Buffalo. A hill\, from which you can get a 360° view of the island\, the city\, the river\, and the highway\, is located on the former site of the incineration plant. I’ve been taking my dog\, Augie\, for walks there for years. Time frames overlap and his in-the-moment wanderings act as a guide. \nLast House (2010\, 16:30 loop\, 3-channel projection\, stereo audio) \nWhen I first moved to Buffalo I was struck by the everyday beauty of the many single-family homes that make up a large part of the city. The iconic image of the house seemed to have endless variation\, each a unique instance with their own histories. If houses are containers for our memories\, the structures within which so many minor and major domestic events take place\, then each week in this city a collective amnesia grows block by block: a city disappears before our eyes. The demolition of these structures – by design or accident – and the speed\, indifference\, and violence with which it takes place; the transmutations of scale\, space\, and time – is breathtaking\, tragic\, and full of contradictions. Last House is an inquiry\, part document\, part memorial\, to this changing built environment. \nCarl Lee\, an early member of Termite TV\,  is a media artist living in Buffalo\, NY. More information can be found at carljlee.com. \n

SUMMARY:First Friday: Gallery Opening with Lisa Marie and Deb Rudman
DESCRIPTION:Join us October 4\, 5pm – 8pm for the First Friday opening reception at Cherry Street Pier’s Studio 101. \nIn honor of American Archives Month\, Termite TV Collective will showcase work by Deb Rudman and Lisa Marie Patzer at Cherry Street Pier\, October 4-31.  \nThe show features reflections on an archive of 35mm slides by photographer Ben Kabakow. The images Kabakow captured during the mid-1950’s reflect life in New York City and travels to popular tourist locations. Sample Portrait\, a video by Kabakow’s granddaughter Deb Rudman\, is an intimate portrait of Kabakow’s life\, relationships\, and love of photography. In Chromatographic Landscapes\, a series of prints and reverse-lit art panels\, Lisa Marie Patzer utilizes various digital chroma-based processes to sort\, separate out\, and reconfigure images from a collection of over a thousand 35mm slides.  \nHer treatment of this large archive of analog imagery emphasizes the role nostalgia and personal association play when interpreting another’s visual anthology.
