"Echoes of Elsewhere" by Sylvia Trotter Ewens at PLATO Gallery

Tomorrow at 6pm · New York

Come enjoy art, wine, and conversation with the artist and fellow art lovers at the opening of Sylvia Trotter Ewens’s debut solo exhibition at PLATO, 'Echoes of Elsewhere.' In 'Echoes of Elsewhere,' fragments of Honduras—the birthplace Trotter Ewens shares with her mother—surface alongside constructed environments in her home-city of Montreal. ‘Working with images of Honduras,’ the artist shares, ‘I experience both connection and distance: though I originated from there, much like in Montreal’s tropical gardens, I can imitate these landscapes but cannot fully inhabit them or feel the immediacy of the environment as someone embedded in it would.’ Like transplanted gardens removed from their origins and reassembled under new conditions, these spaces become composite—layered and continually shifting—echoes of elsewhere. Memory, absence, and connection quietly shape them in an ongoing act of recomposition, piecing together a sense of place and self.

In January, we were handed the lemons of a Wednesday and we made the lemonade of a beautiful night with friends new and old. This time we've been handed the even better mystery fruit of a Friday and we intend to make an even more inspired as-yet-untasted beverage of it. LISTEN guys, doors are at 7pm. Tix are available when you RSVP via Venmo for $15 or $20 at the door. At 7:30, the visionary princess of the metapsychotropic electroscape, Jane Paknia, will grace the stage with a solo set.

You'll hear a little bit of my last record, a little bit of the next one. Don't ask me what genre we play, I don't have any idea. I will be joined by the wizard coalition of Emile Berlinerblau on bass, Philippe Clement on guitar, Stone Cornelius on drums.
