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, Honolulu, and Amsterdam at spaces and programs such as Lo Schermo Dell’arte Film Festival (Florence), W139 (Amsterdam), NAVEL (LA), Human Resources (LA), F.C.C.W. (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 HyperAllergic, AQNB, Metropolis M, The Boston Art Review, Badlands Magazine, Curate LA, and Paper Magazine. Newly commissioned glass paintings will exhibit with Proxyco Gallery (NYC) November 2022. Finally, their upcoming album REP will be released with AQNB & the KW Institute (Berlin) January 2023.
