While the images, videos and sculptures included in this presentation all originate from each artist’s studio, the margins between these works blur opening up occasions for collaboration in the gallery.About the exhibition:'and Elsewhere' is Tigercrow Collective’s first exhibition together, which ruminates on experiences of longing for home. The word home is not particular, but home is always with elsewhere. Simultaneously specific and ambiguous, “elsewhere” invokes the notion of a place anywhere and here, recalling displacement, precarity, and Asian diasporic memory. Utilizing singular and collaborative artworks, the collective seeks places of refuge through objects that hold memory, materials that preserve touch, and references to ever-changing landscapes. The installation begins to connect these points of belonging to trace a transitory narrative together.
