Old School, New Worlds

My collaborative project The Library as a Garden will be on view in Old School, New Worlds at SMUSH Gallery in Jersey City. The exhibition is organized by Dense Magazine in conjunction with the Jersey Art Book Fair (runs Feb 3-4). The Library as a Garden is a collaboration between Christina Labey and myself exploring the connection between humans and plants through the lens of the archive. In this arboreal-focused installation, we weave together plant specimens, watercolor studies, and writing to infuse new life into historical archives. By casting trees as quiet observers of human history and pivotal figures in forging a sustainable future, in the hopes of redirecting our attention to the often-overlooked presence of nature in the urban landscape.

A Tree, A Garden at Antenna

My solo show, A Tree, A Garden, opens in New Orleans at Antenna on February 11, 2023. The show will be on view until March 26th. A corresponding publication, The Dry Garden, is available from Antenna Press.

A Tree, A Garden reflects on the many ways in which trees manifest into other things, from memorials and myths to memes, markers, and meeting points.The exhibition brings together two research projects that explore the place of trees in our understanding of the world. Inspired by trees found both in old-growth forests and on city streets, A Tree Grows in Queens incorporates a collection of written vignettes, archival images, and original photographs to explore how narratives of trees have touched on the larger topics of climate, capitalism, catastrophe, and compassion. The Dry Garden, an installation of cyanotype prints and a publication, is composed of reimagined archival material from herbaria, where plants are dried and stored for scientific purposes. The imagery transformed into shades of blue and white is influenced by Anna Atkins’ Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions, the first book of photographs ever published. The work reconsiders archival histories and explores how narrative can act as a riposte to plant blindness, encouraging more empathetic relationships with our natural surroundings.

Said To Be Dreaming at Olympia

A group exhibition on reading poems and images - featuring paintings, video, mail art, and sound. The show explores how the acts of reading and looking are themselves an art of daydreaming and meandering. The exhibition is curated by Chantal Soong Lee and Emily P. Dunne. The exhibition asks, what does a conversation between a poet and an artist, or between two visual artists, look like? http://olympiart.org/

TSA PDF : Zone V curated by Yael Eban

Tiger Strikes Asteroid’s initiative of exhibitions under the title TSA : PDF was a critics pick in the New York Times. Zone V, curated by Yael Eban includes work by Roni Aviv, Magali Duzant, Jiwoong Jang, Rehan Miskci, Adam Liam Rose, Cory Emma Siegler, Rachel Stern, and Gabriela Vainsencher. Zone V refers to the photographic middle gray, perceptually halfway between white and black. Morally ambiguous and neutral, gray is the color of complexity, filling the space between absolutes. Reduction of color evokes notions of necessity, distilling an image to its abstracted core. Triple-clicking on the home button of an iPhone turns bright colors to grayscale—a hack to combat phone addiction, altering our relationship to the screen in an instant. What are the possibilities and boundaries of the monochromatic? At what point does a color image hold so little color that it reads as gray? The monochrome and color works in this show prove that limits and restraints can yield artwork that is at once intellectually rigorous and expressive. 

TSA_PDF is a series of printable exhibitions curated by Tiger Strikes Asteroid. People are invited to download and print these works on their home printers and share their “install shots,” which are shared on social media and TSA’s website.

Let's Take This Outside

Happy to be a part of this online exhibition, Let’s Take This Outside, through Brooklyn’s NARS Foundation.

In the presented works, Esther Hovers, Magali Duzant and Hugo Rocci look at New York City through lenses that might appear different, but despite those differences they  all try to respond to unanswerable questions in a period of uncertainty.  The query oscillates around mathematical problems about movement, esoteric searches in the NYC Subway System, and narratives embedded in the city’s store fronts.

They portray the city as a space that allows for data collection, as a metaphor for the unpredictable, and most importantly as a space that beholds, perceives and considers its inhabitants –tourists, strollers, commuters and other types of professional and amateur walkers, in parallel intensity.
