Proposals of Belonging  Jenna Buckingham (Philadelphia, PA)  and Kaori Homma (London, UK) 
Nov. 15th, 2013 to March 14th, 2014.  Extended to April 5th, 2014. Opening Reception: Nov. 15th 5-8pm. Closing reception: April 5, 12 noon - later. 
Picture
“Proposals of Belonging” brings together Jenna Buckingham (Philadelphia, PA) and Kaori Homma (London, UK). A focus on geographical boundaries and related crossings and transitions has propelled these two artists into new bodies of work, which share a preoccupation with ways in which we situate ourselves in the world. 

“The creation of home is desperate,” writes Jenna Buckingham, whose experiences of cultural and geographical displacement early on have sent her on a life-long search for home. For Buckingham, now based in Philadelphia, making art serves as a way to connect – to material, to memories, and ultimately to others. Her constructions, teetering between sculptural collages and theatrical sets, are poetic and jarring reminders of our complex relationship to space and place. 

Kaori Homma, showing with Street Road for the second time, writes, “I am interested in the idea of lines in between – especially demarcations between the ideas of east and west. “East / west” is often perceived as a duality, whether with reference to political, cultural, or physical boundaries. As a Japanese artist living and working in the “west”, the idea of tracing the fluidity of this demarcation is not only theoretical but personal.”

Homma has created a new body of work, Terra Incognita, as a direct response to her visit to Street Road in 2012. This  group of works draws on her early, acculturated, experiences of the western Chester County landscape as a girl who came to know these spaces through books in a Tokyo public library in the 1970s. Homma still recalls the Wyeth vision of the world as a primary landscape in her head beginning back then, despite the fact her experiences were a world apart. The Terra Incognita series explores the artist’s interest in the blending of personally experienced landscapes and thosewe know through art and popular culture.

Together, Homma’s and Buckingham’s interdisciplinary explorations linger in the space as “proposals for belonging”- a phrase borrowed from Buckingham’s practice - and extend Street Road’s commitment to questioning the nature of place, both as a changing geographical reality and as a shifting cultural and psychological construct.

A word about 'here':
We acknowledge that we are on the ancestral lands of the Lenape, original people of the mid-Atlantic area, forced west by British and US governments. Most Delaware Indian tribe descendants are now located in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. Lenni Lenapes in Pennsylvania are not officially recognized as tribes by the United States, though an estimated 5000 Lenape Nation descendants live in the Delaware River area. We pay respects to the Lenape people both past and present. Please consider the many legacies of violence, displacement and settlement that form part of our collective histories. While increased public recognition of these legacies and processes of redress such as Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission are positive steps, concrete focus on return of land and land rights remains a distant horizon.
