A Temporary Collection (of An Ordinary Bloodline), Andrea Guskin’s first exhibition at the Red Poppy Art House, establishes an open dialogue with the fragmented histories of immigrants, refugees, and ordinary citizens. When persecution’s targets change and crises appear in other forms, it is essential to preserve the thread of our history if we want to build a more aware future. Guskin preserves those threads through a collection of photos and ubiquitous objects mapping a history of missed meetings, dreams and unfathomable mysteries that connect the individual to humanity; she questions herself about the past and the possibilities of what exists outside of what we see. The result of this line of questions? Answers in the form of delicate (albeit penetrating) images.
