Molly Goldberg and Mary Rothlisberger met elsewhere. Somewhere between the this and the that, the here and the there, the dear and the from, they built a landscape of friendship– a series of sites for shared belonging. Through the construction of temporary, moveable dwellings and gathering spaces, through storytelling amd music making, they explore questions of community, interdependence, migration, home and inbetweenness. Their collaborations merge in the passions of a dedicated community organizer and an inspiring teacher and friend-maker: making homes and crossing lines, dotting eyes, singing for supper, and setting a place at the table for every good idea. Together they made a project called Elsewhere Book Project, which is undocumented.

There is a hole in the wall under my bed. Maybe you could come over and we could crawl into it to see where it goes. I have been braiding a rope out of plastic bags; I take them from the trash at work. We could tie it around our waists and anchor it to the bedpost and see where things go.
Hello. I am living in Western Massachusetts again. I received an MFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in April 2007 and a BFA from UMASS Amherst in December 2003. Smack Mellon, Brooklyn, NY, named me a 2009 Hot Pick. I did residencies at Elsewhere in the summers of 2005 and 2006.
I am sitting next to a record of Penguin Café Orchestra. The first time I came to Elsewhere was in the summer of 2005. This trip I road the bus from White River Junction, VT to Greensboro, NC. I didn’t pack for my trip. I figured either there will be things to wear or there won’t. My friend had given me a compilation of Penguin Café Orchestra music and I listened to it the whole journey.
If you ever come and see me maybe we could go find things or at the least we could go for a walk. //
