Ten Whistlegraphs - Art exhibition on Feral File

Whistlegraph is composed of artists Jeffrey Scudder, Camille Klein, and Alex Freundlich, who draw, sing, and make videos together. The group formed during the 2020 pandemic in a cabin in Ashland, Oregon, which remains their creative base. Over the past few years, they have honed a distinctive style and practice that speaks to embodied cognition, art education, and experimental composition for live performance. The group’s TikTok @whistlegraph is an important platform for their work, where they regularly engage with their 2.2 million current followers. Whistlegraph has also toured, performed, and led educational workshops at Kunstverein Hamburg (Germany), Rhizome, The Schneider Museum of Art (Ashland, OR), Oneroom Gallery (Providence, RI), Willem de Kooning Acadamie (Rotterdam, Netherlands), OCCII (Amsterdam, Netherlands), and the Banana School (Bananskole; Copenhagen, Denmark).
