PHILADELPHIA‐
Tiger Strikes Asteroid is pleased to announce the opening of our July 2012 exhibition, breaks to make, featuring work by TSA member Ryan McCartney. This exhibition is McCartney’s second solo show with the gallery.


From 
the 
accompanying 
essay 
by 
Earle 
McCartney:


Perception
 demands
 a
disruption,
 a 
break. 
It 
moves
 by 
metaphor, 
not
 analogy
–
it’s 
not 
that
one
 thing 
is
 like 
another; 
it’s 
that 
one 
thing 
is 
another,
 however 
briefly. 
What 
I
 see 
in 
much 
of 
my 
brother’s 
work 
is 
an 
examination
 of 
this 
moment 
of 
transfiguration…



In 
“breaks 
to 
make,” 
McCartney 
will
 be 
exhibiting 
both 
painting 
and
 sculpture.
 Though
 a
departure
 from
 previous exhibition 
anatomy, all
 of
 the
 works
 continue
 McCartney’s
investigation
 of 
material 
and 
perception. 
Objects 
and 
paint 
create 
an
 eloquent 
dialogue
between
 the
re turn 
to 
and
 the
 renewal 
of
 an
 ongoing 
core
 practice.
