PHILADELPHIA-
Tiger Strikes Asteroid is pleased to announce the opening of our August
exhibition, On Loan:
Curated by Nora Salzman.
On
Loan
is an examination of how institutional methods of display arrange our
understanding of artworks. The disparate works in a contemporary group show are
most commonly tied together conceptually while visually arranged to encourage
individual viewing. In contrast, On Loan is designed to bind the
conceptually distinct works together visually through the use of display so
that the works are viewed collectively. By applying the highly codified
institutional model of display to contemporary works in an art gallery context
the didactic influence of display on the interpretation of art can be explored.
Featuring works by Meghan Gordon, Elizabeth Hamilton, Jamie
Horgan, Anna Johnson, Serena Perrone, Jessica Smith, and Lucia Thome.
Nora Salzman received her MFA from The Rhode Island School of
Design. She was recently awarded the Fleisher Wind Challenge grant and
was a fellow in residence at the MacDowell Colony.
