Elsewhere is a dual-city exhibition presented at A Space Gallery, New York and Space Matter Gallery, Los Angeles. The project brings together works shaped by movement, exchange, and sustained looking, and reflects on how artworks circulate, encounter new contexts, and generate meaning through displacement.
Rather than treating Elsewhere as a destination or theme, the exhibition understands it as a condition in flux—one that emerges through motion, transition, and encounter. The participating works are approached as autonomous presences, carrying their own vitality beyond fixed narratives, identities, or explanations. As they move across cities, institutional frameworks, and audiences, the works are activated through instability, pause, and attentive viewing.
Elsewhere is grounded in cross-regional dialogue and collaboration. It invites artists whose practices engage with ideas of movement, rearticulation, and renewal, and asks a central question: when a work is allowed to appear as it is, can we still truly see it?
