Get on the Block Opens Friday, May 13th

"Get on the Block", a show featuring Julianne Ahn, Matt Phillips, Travis LeRoy Southworth, Liz Zanis, TSA member Alex Paik  , is opening this Friday at Camel Art Space in Brooklyn. The show, curated by Lauren van Haaften-Schick "explores social and self-conscious motivations and anxieties surrounding art production and display. Through sincere humor, humility and coy absurdity, these artists confront what critic Jan Verwoert has termed "the pressure to perform," the expectation that artists and cultural producers present only absolute, correct assertions with the "genius-like" promise of positive results. In contrast, these works offer open-ended proposals or temporary conclusions, rendering suspect the desire and criteria for defining success or failure."

The opening reception is Friday, May 13th from 6-9pm. The show is up until June 13th.

Double trouble: Theresa Saulin upstairs, member show downstairs

Theresa Saulin's "Night Is A Girl" reviewed by Philadelphia Weekly

Theresa Saulin's show "Night is a Girl" opens this Friday (April 1st) at Tiger Strikes Asteroid.

Philadelphia Weekly reviewed the show as one of their "April First Friday Picks".


"Theresa Saulin, a local artist whose recent works are on view this month at Tiger Strikes Asteroid, evokes both biological systems and man’s predilection for intrusion. “Night is a Girl” showcases the artist’s astonishing aptitude for translating a theme into disparate mediums. Her earthenware sculptures are beautiful yet harrowing mutations of human and botanical forms... The unexpected synthesis of cast-off doll parts and vegetal growths is at once a fascinating novelty and an alarming anomaly, the sort of artifact one might have uncovered from an Old World cabinet of curiosities... By obscuring whole bodies of evidence, Saulin demands a close examination of her diagrams, which like nearly every natural phenomenon, elude the viewers’ total comprehension."
