Lauren Luloff at Tanya Bonakdar in NYC

"Painting Expanded is a dynamic group exhibition featuring artwork from a new generation of artists whose works share a formal nature that is primarily material-based abstraction... Highlighting work by emerging artists who are exploring experimentation near the more radical edge in the creative process, this show features new methods of process in art making, pushing the definition of what still might be considered painting today."

T. Bonakdar is located at  521 W 21st St, New York 10011
Monday through Friday, 10am-6pm

"Interview with Summer Above Curator, Wallace Whitney"

Please click through to "The Nicola Midnight St. Claire" and read this interview with Wallace Whitney, curator of "Summer Above." This makes an interesting read whether or not you have gotten a chance to come by Tiger Strikes Asteroid to see the show (although I highly recommend that you do).

"The show looks nice at TSA, I realized at the opening it was the third show I have created since September (besides my normal CANADA co-curation duties) and that I have also done two solo shows of my own work since October.  So that, plus a room full of Philly's hip-wa-zee, plus a really nice low-pressure system, and several beers I was feeling great!  As far as the show there, I felt like I couldn't really describe it until I actually saw it installed.  It featured 4 artists, 2 Canada vets, Joanna Malinowska and Matt Connors, both of whom I have known for years now in New York and Lauren Luloff who I met maybe a year ago and who is my new go-to artist/excellent person and Roger Van Voorhees who I barely know at all.  So it was a way of extending myself comfortably, reaching for a brass ring while lying in a comfy bed. "  - Wallace Whitney

Intrigued? "Summer Above" is on view at Tiger Strikes Asteroid until June 23rd. We're open Saturday and Sunday 2-6pm, as well as by appointment - tigerstrikesasteroid at gmail dot com
