For our inaugural show at Trestle Projects as the Curators in Residence, we are

pleased to announce treasure trove, an exhibition of private spaces, personal

archives, and the inner lives of artists.

The artists in treasure trove welcome us into their intimate spaces filled with

remnants and memorabilia. Each work is a specific, undisclosed moment where

we seem to be the sole voyeur. Whether real or imagined, past or present, each

“room” is a curiosity with its own invented relics; we begin to imagine how the

artist might live, how they might work. We are given an invitation to investigate

their documentation, their innermost chambers, sacred objects and

environments; in turn, each work becomes a by-proxy self-portrait.
