A series of four exhibitions, a new summer residency, and a month-long festival celebrating a program of international exchange. Tiger Strikes Asteroid maintains a network of five collaborative, but curatorially autonomous spaces in Brooklyn, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Greenville, South Carolina. In Brooklyn, the organization will present Crops, a two-person show curated by Monica Palma featuring work by siblings Lorena and Abelardo Cruz Santiago; in Philadelphia, TSA will contribute to the city-wide events of Collective Futures with a solo exhibition featuring new interdisciplinary work by Johannes Barfield; in Greenville, the site will mount The New Esoterica, with work that explores mysticism and the occult by artists Alex Schecter, Zen Cohen, and Hani Le. Additionally, TSA will launch a summer residency at its Chicago location with artists Jodi Hays, Larry Wolf, Susy Bielak, and Srujana Kannganti. A variety of artists’ spaces will work together with TSA in Los Angeles to host eighteen artists that participated in the organization’s three-year long exchange among artist communities in Berlin, Mexico, City, and LA.
Program Support
“Our grantees range from small arts organizations with one staff member to major museums, yet they all provide essential resources for artists as well as innovative platforms for critical cultural dialogue. Creative risk-taking is at the heart of this country’s most meaningful social, political, and cultural developments, therefore we are proud to stand behind artist-centered organizations that support experimental practice.”
Joel Wachs, President
