TSA_PDF 008: Not Made For This
TSA_PDF 008: Not Made for This curated by Li-Ming Hu August 16 - 31
Tiger Strikes Asteroid is pleased to present TSA_PDF 008: Not Made for This, curated by Li-Ming Hu. This printable exhibition features work by Maryam Faridani, Chelsea A. Flowers, Jack Hogan, Zachary Hutchinson, Natasha Matila-Smith, and Daphne Simons. How to condense thousands of frames into a single image on an 8 1⁄2 x 11 sheet of paper? Or even into 24, as Maryam has done? Is such a thing worth doing? Which screenshot to choose? Which piece of text most accurately conveys the spirit of the work? (The hyperlinks really work if you click on them.) Do you need the sound of Chelsea A. and her companion’s wordless laughter? Or to know that Jack’s piece is as concerned with cartography as it is with cows? Or that Zach’s is for a video she hasn’t made yet? Or that those leather chaps (if you can tell that’s what they are) that Daphne made move across the screen with no legs in them? And that, *spoiler alert*, Natasha does not, for the duration, get out of bed?
Maybe it’s all in the print and hang. And those hyperlinks you get if you buy the show.
TSA_PDF is a series of printable exhibitions curated by Tiger Strikes Asteroid. People are invited to download and print these works on their home printers and share their “install shots,” which we will share on social media and our website. We view these exhibitions as a fun, experimental way to bring something physical and meaningful into people’s homes as they socially distance.
To access the PDF to print, you can:
1) Pay-what-you-wish at PayPal.Me/TigerStrikesAsteroid . 100% of the proceeds will be split between the artists and Artist Relief.
2) Our existing and new Patreon subscribers also get access to this and all future PDF exhibitions for free. Become a patron at patreon.com/tigerstrikesasteroid
