Where You Left Off

Apr 10 - May 6, 2023

Curated by Tally de Orellana and David Ayala-Alfonso

Opening reception: Apr 13 at 6 pm

Live Events at Tiger Strikes Asteroid Philadelphia: Apr 15 from 12 - 4 pm

Connecting artists from the Tiger Strikes Asteroid (TSA) network with Mexico’s most creative minds, we are thrilled to present “Where You Left Off.” This international collaboration and exhibition initiative bridges artists across borders, bringing dialogue and exchange to the forefront.

This project draws together twenty artists, across six cities and two countries. Ten artists from the TSA network (Philadelphia, Chicago, LA, Greenville, and New York) have been connected with ten artists in and around Mexico City. Over the past year, the artists have been exchanging ideas and insights about their practices. The curators have closely followed the artists’ virtual conversations and correspondences, as the collective has progressively shared where they’ve left things off.

While these exchanges have been virtually broadcasted on our online platform, we are thrilled to present the resulting work from these ten collaborations in TSA’s gallery at the Crane Arts building in Philadelphia. This exhibition will be followed by a second iteration taking place in Mexico City, showcasing the next episode of this ongoing artistic dialogue.
