Catch | Jessie Laino

Special Residency
Written By Elsewhere Living Museum & Artist Residency

Catch, Jessie Laino (Miami, FL)
Miami Goes Elsewhere. June 2016. Installation: paper, staples.

Catch collects the delicate, fragile, forgotten, and discarded dust being created by everyday life at Elsewhere and the 2016 historic building restoration. With a shallow, white paper shelf mounted in a 3rd floor installation room, the shelf displays the tiniest fragments of museum collection.

What does it mean to collect? To collect things, to collect dust, to collect memories? Catch demonstrates the ongoing build-up of ever chaning moments in Elsewhere history as it records each movement of construction labor.

Above: Detail documentation of the final installation.

Jessie Laino fascinates on the ambiguous nature of sense-memory, symbolic acknowledgment and recognition. She attempts to evaluate a city in terms of its economy, geography, industry, residence and salvage. Through her absorption of these characteristics, Jessie salvages what she can from her soundings to examine and conceptualize a universal connection and conversation between object, material, nature and human.

Jessie created 4 MIL and Catch during the Miami Goes Elsewhere residency.
