DIGITAL EXPANSIONS: EMILIO + CHANTAL
Chantal and Emilio were first brought together under the suspicion (from the curators) that their shared interest in the notions of border, displacement, and building affective systems across distances, would create a natural connection between the two artists and the practice of one another. These topics demand great intellectual intensity and personal investment, and as…
DIGITAL EXPANSIONS: MARIA + RACHEL
Rachel de Cuba is an interdisciplinary artist whose work looks at structures’ interwoven role in politics and citizenship in the Americas. María Naidich’s practice addresses a variety of topics that often deal with archeology of the mundane, concepts of nature and material ecologies and classifications. A common ground that surfaced in their conversations was migration…
DIGITAL EXPANSIONS: AURA + CYDNEY
What is intimacy? Cydney and Aura came together in Chicago last year and opened up to this vulnerable topic, sharing spaces and ways in which we understand this notion, and furthermore, how do we discover or acknowledge forms of intimacy in our daily life. WYLO’s exchange format is, in many ways, a call to create…
DIGITAL EXPANSIONS: SISI + JUAN CARLOS
In the absence of a common language (between Spanish and English), SiSi and Juan Carlos developed a form of sensory exchange: they sent objects, images and letters to each other –via physical and electronic mail–, and organized communication around scent, visual and tactile qualities. SiSi would send a box to Juan Carlos, containing a small…
DIGITAL EXPANSIONS: YAEL + ULRIK
Yael and Ulrik share the enthusiasm for archives, and more specifically, for the archival image. Yael’s experience with physical archives informs the visual world found in her artworks, fascinated with the re-printed image, the installed image, the architectural space, and the form photography takes when it unfolds onto a surface. Ulrik favors more of an…
Vol1: Philly
TSA Philadelphia proudly presents Where You Left Off, A COLLABORATION EXPERIMENT BETWEEN ARTISTS IN MEXICO AND THE US. Where You Left Off is an experiment born out a assembly of people from different origins: the curators, who collaborate across borders in the context of separation (further radicalized by the global COVID pandemic); the community of…
DIGITAL EXPANSIONS: KARA + LORENA
Kara and Lorena’s work overlaps in multiple ways, in visible forms (such as chosen techniques or formats), but also in unforeseen ways that connect them conceptually. For example, during their conversation, their practices touched through a meditation on the human hand, its physical form, and how it it can serve as a tool as well…
DIGITAL EXPANSIONS: ALISA + MARIA
Alisa and Maria came to our first zoom call without speaking the same language. This first exchange was translated simultaneously by us, but from that point on they had to find their own way into the collaboration. Their exchange was characterized by generosity and an authentic desire for connecting with the other, and as such,…
DIGITAL EXPANSIONS: MARIANA + ALEX
Mariana and Alex were an unsuspectedly natural match. The meticulous nature of their practices –ceramics and delicate forms of paper– often calls for a kind of silence and introspection that is already attached to the nature of their medium. But while presenting their work for each other, the connections were ineludible: they shared the magnetism…
TSA PHILLY: ALEXIS + AURORA
Alexis Granwell and Aurora Noreña engaged in a fervent letter exchange. Their letters read more than an exchange of information, but a continuous back and forth of ideas and thought that took different shapes and tones. Concerned with different aspects of form —Alexis, intensely dedicated to the surface (the skin) and Aurora to the structure…
