Strings Too Short To Use video trailer from Elizabeth Tubergen on Vimeo.

Tubergen will be showing "Strings Too Short To Use" in Providence, Rhode Island, in December.

Born at a nuclear submarine base in Groton, Connecticut with a head full of fuzzy red hair, Elizabeth Tubergen has spent most of her life with her two parents, two brothers, and two cats. More recently, her artistic endeavors explore the space between nostalgia and cynicism. Tubergen’s methodology incorporates fearless belief powered by human muscle, play, vulnerability, and a monumentality of patient labor. She is interested in hope, loss, leftovers, the unsaid, the genuine, the pathetic, and the reliable. Tubergen creates objects, videos and actions that incite curiosity and suggest a reconsideration of space and locational identity. Her work takes place in public places, and has been shown at various locations, including the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts in Michigan, the Visual Arts Alliance in Texas, and Solar One in New York city. Tubergen is represented by the LaFontsee’s Underground Studio in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and holds a BA from Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia. She has been awarded fellowships at the Ox-Bow School of Art and the MacDowell Colony. Tubergen lives and works in Queens, New York. (From her personal statement).
