About David Slovic

A native of Chicago, David studied fine arts and philosophy at Cornell University before coming to Philadelphia to study architecture at the University of Pennsylvania and work with Louis Kahn. He had his own architectural practice, first as FRIDAY Architects, then as David Slovic Associates. Art work and photography was always an essential part of my efforts. His photographic work began with the book, American Diners (1980), then evolved through architectural exhibitions that included installations, collages, drawings and photography shown in national and international venues including The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (1978), La Biennale di Venezia (1980), PS1, Contemporary Art Center, New York (1981), Yale University (1982) and Lisbon Trienale di Architectura (1999).

Over the past 25 years, his time was focused on making art works using a variety of simple materials manipulated through the investigation of light, movement, time, abstraction and form including photographic collages, paper assemblages/sculpture and videos. The materials are saved, collected and repurposed to produce complex images starting with a single shape. The performance of small and repetitive gestures to build each work reflects a larger metaphor of continuous return.
