Baldwin sees similarities between Goya\u2019s works and contemporary graphic novels, and responds to these parallels by stripping out elements from both, collaging them together, and reinterpreting them into a three-dimensional construction. Taking a cue from the cells of the comic book page, he reconfigures the gallery space, allowing the viewer to wander through it in new ways. The exhibition also includes Baldwin\u2019s first effort in producing a soundwork, a swerved and reconfigured version of Dmitri Shostakovich\u2019s String Quartet No. 15\u2014a piece in itself that penetrates an awkward hallway space, and amplifies the dark feeling found throughout the show.

Tiger Strikes Asteroid<\/a><\/p>\n

Tiger Strikes Asteroid is a network of artist-run spaces with locations in Philadelphia, New York, and Los Angeles. Each space is independently operated and focuses on presenting a varied program of emerging and mid-career artists. Our goal is to collectively bring people together, expand connections and build community through artist-initiated exhibitions, projects, and curatorial opportunities. We seek to further empower the artist\u2019s role beyond that of studio practitioner to include the roles of curator, critic, and community developer; and to act as an alternate model to the conventions of the current commercial art market.<\/p>\n

Our exhibitions and projects have been featured in numerous print and online publications including The New York Times, Art F City, Hyperallergic, The Huffington Post, L Magazine, Whitehot Magazine, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Two Coats of Paint, Artinfo, Artnet News, Beautiful Decay, and the artblog.<\/p>\n
