Pure Filth Machine is a leaky water filtration/contamination system and immersive sound, video and material installation by Studio Artist Ashton S. Phillips and artist Dylan Ricards featured at the Dutzi Gallery at Cal State Long Beach. Utilizing locally sourced water, pollution-consuming bacteria and fungi, a dozen working water pumps, hundreds of feet of black vinyl tubing, 400 sq. ft of cut and hung vinyl surfaces, and a forest of bound and suspended video projectors, Pure Filth Machine performs the precarity of dirty/clean dualism and invites the human visitor to become a part of the purifying muck.
Video and photos can be found on Ashton’s Instagram.

Denil received a BFA in studio art with a minor in interdisciplinary studies in sexuality from Concordia University in Montreal, where he graduated with distinction. He is currently spending the second spring semester of his MFA at Syracuse University working in Los Angeles as part of the LA Turner Residency program.

Jaleel Blanchard creates paintings of figures using the visual vocabulary of comics. His art explores and challenges the conceived notion of how portraiture is normally created. Combining his understanding of historical portraiture with the gesture lines of a graphic novel, he seeks to question what a black nerd aesthetic would look like. By situating himself in the world of afrosurrealism, he draws the world around him using the narratives he would like to see to describe his experience as an African American.

Joseph Troxler is from the south, raised by southerners, and grew up in places like central Asia, eventually settling in North Central Pennsylvania. At the age of eight, his family embarked on a five year mission to Kazakhstan, where Joseph would spend his time drawing and escaping to far off worlds through building forts, during the summers, and ice slides with his two brothers during the harsh winters. Upon returning to the US he divided his time, continuing drawing, playing video games and sports. Joseph Troxler received his BA from Lycoming College in Williamsport, PA in 2017.
