Tiger Strikes Asteroid Greenville (TSA GVL) in partnership with Atlanta-based curatorial duo Eso Tilin is excited to present Eyes Can Only See So Much, April 16 - May 28 at the TSA GVL gallery. This group exhibition features  the works of Demetri Burke, Kate Burke, Ian Herring, Aineki Traverso, and Michael-Ward Rosenbaum.

Eso Tilin presents Eyes Can Only See So Much as an imagining of what is beyond as well as what lies between the lines. The artists in the show work in a broad range of mediums, from oil paint to digital video, interpreting reality using their respective methodologies and poetic sensibilities to reach a point that blurs artistic practice and the everyday.

The gallery becomes a place where moments are refracted and remnants inherited. Can presence exist in absence? Through the intersection of these artists, the space is held in a state of balance imbued with quiet humanity, a more aural representation of a presence before and after unfolding into space . Eyes Can Only See So Much is an inquiry into the margins that exist within these artists’ practices; the show wades through these margins to capture an ineffable familiarity, a sliver of a recurrent memory, a gesture in clay crystallized in time, an entrance to a space both physical and immaterial. You are invited to consider this survey of artists that touch on different aspects and overlap across each other in ways hidden and laid in an undercurrent of emotional expression. A meditation on poetic phenomena, and its visual traces, exploring a dimension which eyes cannot fully capture, but remains palpable nonetheless.

About Eso Tilin Projects

Eso Tilin Projects is an Atlanta Based nomadic project space/ curatorial practice founded in 2021 by Noah Reyes & Sergio Suarez. It aims to embrace the work of emerging artists, by providing a space for young practices to unfold, expand and diverge according to the artist’s needs.  

Eso Tilin was born out of joviality, puro desmadre, and references to a viral video which ascended and transplanted our reality. It was a cold December morning working a gig decorating some luxurious, blasé, mansion for Christmas in the heart of Atlanta, when the sky opened up, and a ray of light shined upon both founders, bestowing them with the audacity to turn pop internet culture/workplace colloquialism into this experimental project space. Currently, Eso Tilin acts as an itinerant curatorial endeavor that aims to recreate that sensation of encouragement and playfulness. This project is a joint effort between Noah & Sergio to give artists more opportunities in exploring their work and push the realm of curation. Eso Tilin is a recipient of the 2022 Nexus Fund/Andy Warhol Foundation for a series of upcoming exhibitions highlighting emerging Atlanta artists. We also pay in chickens.
