PHILADELPHIA, PA-
Tiger Strikes Asteroid is proud to announce the opening of its July exhibition: End Transmission, an experimental collaborative installation between gallery member Ezra Masch and sound artist Alex Braidwood. This exhibition is Ezra Masch's first exhibition with the gallery.
The two artists met at a residency in Iowa where they were both fascinated by the area’s vast landscape and its overwhelming effect on the senses. The installation recalls that all-consuming experience by emulating the sensory properties of the Midwestern winds. With audio culled from jet turbines and helicopter blades, Braidwood's field recordings are interpreted and remixed by Masch through the use of speakers and projected light. Air pressure oscillates between physical vibration, audible sound, and visual representation, creating an atmosphere in which the observer becomes immersed in sensory experience.
Alex Braidwood is a designer, media artist and design educator who maintains a practice centered around a process of play, experimentation and research through making. Alex’s current work explores methods for transforming the relationship between people and the noise in their environment. Currently, Alex is Assistant Professor of Graphic Design and a faculty member of the Human Computer Interaction Graduate Program at Iowa State University.
Ezra Masch currently lives and works in Philadelphia PA. He received his MFA in Studio Art from The University of Texas at Austin in 2012 and his BFA in Sculpture from The Rhode Island School of Design in 2004. He has exhibited nationally and internationally, including exhibitions in Austin, Philadelphia, New York, Columbus, and Rome. He also has received numerous awards, the most recent of which being the Continuing Graduate Fellowship from UT Austin.
