In person / Exhibition / Multiple Techniques
Upon entry in the Powerhouse Arts (PHA) Lobby, visitors will encounter Rainbow Mountains: Storm (2024), a work from a series Liz Collins most notably exhibited in La Biennale di Venezia’s 60th International Art Exhibition, Stranieri Ovunque — Foreigners Everywhere, curated by Adriano Pedrosa. In the PHA Loft, Tundra Garden, among Collins’s most ambitious installations to date, features nine monumental textile panels spanning over 193 square feet, created in collaboration with The Alpha Workshops at PHA, and complemented by custom furniture by New York maker Dune. The transformed Loft will serve as a public lounge during the Powerhouse: International performing arts festival.
A limited edition print by Collins will be published through PHA’s Print Publishing Program this fall, and the installations themselves will remain on view through December 2025.
In conjunction with this unveiling, PHA is also proud to celebrate the opening of Body Grounds: The Intimacy of Memory, Myth, and Loss, which brings together Lauren Cohen, Stephanie Santana, Jacob Olmedo, and Pacifico Silano—four past artists-in-residence at Ace Hotel, presented through PHA's recent year-long co-curatorial partnership. These artists’ practices examine how personal narrative, identity, and cultural memory are shaped by systems of power, trauma, and resilience. Through humor, mythology, materiality, and loss, each artist navigates and investigates the body as a grounding site—where intimacy is in flux and memory is both a burden and a place of resistance. The exhibition will remain on view through Oct 9, 2025.
