This event has ended.

Rafael Sanchez, winner of the 2008 Ida Applebroog Award at Exit Art, will present a series of new performance pieces and documentation from the past ten years of his work entitled, "The Limit as the Body Approaches Zero."

"NTU the Stage (Part Two)" is a celebration and invocation ceremony with music by Kris Flowers of Flowers in the Attic and DJ Porkchop of SSPS & Excepter. Food provided by Verettables catering.

Sanchez’s performances often bridge the spectacle of street life with the meditative interiority of private rituals. During this exhibition, the artist will stage performances every Saturday that provoke questions about issues as diverse as masculinity, sexuality, gentrification, and bodily limits. In deceivingly simple gestures and epic endurance feats, Sanchez uses his body to carry ideas about the performative conditions of daily life in the city and how it is inscribed with desire, pain, musical rhythms, absurdity and poetry. Sanchez demands that viewers make a “psycho-educational commitment to enhancing his or her own perception of reality.”

All performances will be assisted by Jonathan Hyppolite.
