Memory Foam is a collection of pieces made by performer and designer pairs where the body's look is deeply considered. It's about making a you-shaped imprint to sleep inside of. And by sleep, I mean be the star of a million self-authored dreams you won't know how to remember when you wake up.

CANADIANS ARE MEAN

featuring Cagey Productions, Tanya Marquardt

CANADIANS ARE MEAN confronts stereotype and the (in)visibility of Canadian artists in NYC. Are Canadians really polite? Is the Great White North truly a socialist utopia? You don't care, you're American. And you probably thought these artists were, too. An evening of good old-fashioned immigrant angst, alienation and small-country syndrome.
