"MIXploratorium: A Queer Artist Installation and Performance Series" Exhibition
La MaMa La Galleria
This event has ended.
MIXploratorium is presented by MIX NYC QUEER EXPERIMENTAL FILM FESTIVAL and THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSFORMATION Queer Arts Collective.
Visual Artists: Peter Cramer, Cristy C. Road, Gabriel DeFazio, Avory Agony, Quito Ziegler, Serichai Traipoom, Larry Shea
These artists will take up residency at La Mama Galleria for a week, creating installations involving drawings from the most anticipated tarot deck of our generation, New Yorker covers that parallel the progress of one artist’s journey with HIV, intergalactic cushions shaping distant lounging spaces, a zine library years in the hoarding, found objects from the Rockaways sculpted into an object of personal hope, a short inspired by a visit to a witch in the Bronx, community, wild ponies, and fresh hot cookies. Together we celebrate the rigor of things that have been with us for years and things lasting no more than a day. The collective goal is to create a welcoming, otherworldly nest in the heart of downtown, then invite performing artists such as Damien Luxe, Heather Acs, Louie Chavez, Jennifer Blowdryer, Stephen Boyer, and Roo Kahn, and other exhibitionists for noise-making, readings, performance, vegan suppers, and terribly glamorous, yet extraordinarily low-key, parties. MIXploratorium is eager to transform a silent void into a raucous space of reflection and connection; anger and enlightenment.
MIXploratorium is an extension of MIX 24: The 24th MIX New York Queer Experimental Film Festival and is produced by The Department of Transformation.
