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.
