Greensboro, North Carolina. Performed here during a tour in September with the SPORE mobile gallery. Elsewhere utilizes a former three-story antique shop or perhaps more accurately coined, hoarder menagerie owned by a deceased woman named Gloria. Seven years ago her grandson transformed this reliquary into a living museum and artist residency. Nothing leaves. Nothing enters. Nothing like it anywhere. These photos are mostly from the third floor which is only open during special events.
Perhaps a part of Gloria persists? To learn more about Elsewhere click here.

I've been curious about Elsewhere/ wanted to do a residency for the last couple summers but haven't been able to pull the trigger. What's your impression? pretty neat?
ReplyDeleteI was inspired by the space, materials, vibe and much of the work. Imagining that a residency there would be incredibly interesting. However there are no showers, the rooms are REALLY dusty and when I was there the majority of staff and artists were fresh out of undergrad with a median age of 23. But it is an impressive project and worth experiencing.
