Ballast/Break • Alexis Granwell & Carrie Scanga at the Lawndale Art Center

Ballast/Break  a show of TSA member Alexis Granwell's and Maine based Carrie Scanga's installation work. The show is at the Lawndale Art Center in Houston.

Alexis Granwell

"Ballast/Break is an exhibition of prints, sculpture, and installation work by Alexis Granwell and Carrie Scanga.  The work is based on the forms, structures, conduits, and patinas of cityscapes and the human-built environment. Granwell delves into the city’s grit and substance by incorporating handmade paper, found objects, and raw materials to create sculptures that evoke primitive architecture or landscapes under construction.  Her oversized etchings depict similar forms that contain both a physicality and a diagrammatic quality, while Scanga’s massive, apparently floating structure of paper bricks subverts this "

Title Magazine: "moving on" by Jessica Anne Clark

Please read this article in Title Magazine about TSA's current show, moving on.

William Blackhurst

"Group shows are sometimes akin to shared housing: ragtag bunches of wayward objects take shelter beneath bursts of halogen light to create a dubious whole. Under the auspices of amorphous themes, these inanimate strangers bide but never bond. In more mindful groupings, the works coalesce into a rich society full of feasting, discussion, argument, and agreement. Moving On is an excellent example of just this sort of household, with curator Ryan McCartney as captain of the commune. With bodies, mind and motion as the main topic of conversation, this collection of work by Carolee Schneemann, Tim Belknap, and William Blackhurst, is currently in residence at Tiger Strikes Asteroid’s new digs."

"moving on", curated by TSA member Ryan McCartney, features the work of Timothy Belknap, William Blackhurst and, Carolee Schneemann.

Timothy Belknap

"moving on is a spare little show. With works by three artists, one local, one in London and one in upstate New York, the exhibit covers a lot of geography — and a lot about the human condition,  in sexy, manic, or bare-bones fashion." - the art blog

These works, "dealing intimately with motion, the body, and the relationship between", will be on display at Tiger Strikes Asteroid through October 2nd.

Hours: Saturday and Sunday 2-6, or by appointment.

Boy's Town, acrylic on paper,  12x16

"Bricker’s paintings, while certainly less ominous, use folded and skillfully manipulated paint to create a haunting impersonation of rumpled fabric, paper, or the feathers of an owl. Her abstracted still life painting is a startling source of tactile confusion."


Susan Bricker is also featured, with Amy Beecher, in our current show "Proof of My Unknowing Eyes."

"Cabin Fever" is up at Mixed Greens through August 19th.
Mixed Greens is located at 531 West 26th St, NY NY

"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.

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

Caroline Santa featured in ArtPneuma Video

ArtPneuma, "a project to produce awareness of artists, in order to shine a light on their work, process, and thinking," created this short documentary about Tiger Strikes Asteroid member Caroline Santa.

Santa's work was featured in Tiger Strikes Asteroid's most recent show "Coda." To learn more about ArtPneuma check out their youtube account or facebook page: ArtPneuma Facebook, ArtPneuma on Youtube.
Please check this out, there is nothing better than getting to hear artists speak about their own work and practice! 

Caroline Santa, "Coda" written up on The Art Blog

Tiger Strikes Asteroid member Caroline Santa received a great review of her show "Coda" on The Art Blog.  Julian Phillips writes, "The artist’s previous work shows an affinity towards use of strong color and shape, which “Coda” echoes but reinvents. Coda draws with materials and takes a look at the process of art making, one step of at a time. Santa’s ideas and approach make refreshing new pathways to consider."

 Come see this "invigorating look at the creative process" Saturday and Sunday from 2-6pm before it comes down Sunday, May 28th. The weather is great, so come on out! Tiger Strikes Asteroid is located on the second floor of 319A N. 11th St, Philadelphia.
