Art Exhibition: Third Terrain
Tiger Strikes Asteroid Greenville (TSA GVL) and Wofford College are excited to announce our next exhibition, Third Terrain. This exhibition includes artists Federico Cuatlacuatl, Emilio Rojas, and Martín Wannam, whose lives and practices traverse North America, cultivating a transnational understanding of landscape. Through critical performance and speculative world-building, the exhibition centers decolonial ethics rooted in ancestral knowledge, liberation, and justice for migrant and diasporic communities. The artists imagine a third terrain as a layered, relational site where histories collide and futures can be reimagined.
Third Terrain inhabits two exhibition locations in two different South Carolina cities; the Richardson Family Museum at Wofford College, Spartanburg, and Tiger Strikes Asteroid, Greenville. Adopting the structure of theater, each exhibition venue contains a distinct “act.” Act I, housed in the museum, interrogates monuments not as fixed structures, but as contested sites of power that can be challenged or dismantled. Act II, at Tiger Strikes Asteroid, envisions new landscapes emerging from the shadows of history, projecting indigenous practice beyond the present. Across both acts, Third Terrain unfolds a multiplicity of timelines: ancestral, historical, and speculative, that are entangled in the ongoing struggle for decolonial futurity. The exhibition is curated by members Michael Webster, Kiley Brandt, and Michael Borowski.
Act I of the exhibition will run from September 11 to December 15, 2025 in the Rosalind S. Richardson Center for the Arts, located at Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC. Wofford College will host a panel talk, free and open to the public, on September 11th at 5pm, with a reception to follow.
Act II of the exhibition will run September 12 to October 11, 2025 at the Tiger Strikes Asteroid gallery located in The Lofts of Greenville and Monaghan Mill. Please join us for an opening reception on Friday, September 12th from 6-8 pm.
