The Shape Of Elsewhere: Summer Group Show
PRÓXIMAS exhibition
Vista general
What does the shape of elsewhere look like to you?
Is it a memory of a place you left behind, a dream of someplace new, or the quiet reconciliation of carrying many worlds inside you?
The Shape of Elsewhere, on view this summer at Thomas Nickles Project, invites you into these questions with ten Cuban-born artists. Through photography, painting, sculpture, and performance, they give form to “elsewhere” in ways that are at once deeply personal and broadly resonant—capturing overlooked facets of social life, exploring memory and migration, or searching for spiritual meaning.
Together, their works resist any single idea of place or belonging. Instead, they open up many ways of seeing, reminding us that “elsewhere” is never just distant or abstract—it is woven into how we navigate our identities, hopes, and the connections that span borders, time, and lived experience. We each carry our own “elsewheres,” shaped by the lives, dreams, and rituals that keep us tied to one another.
