✨IMMATERIAL✨: Closing Reception and Constructs, a performance by Roxana Barba Saturday, March 22 Reception: 6:00 - 9:00 PM | Performance: 7:30 PM @thecollective62 For the closing of IMMATERIAL, artist @au_roxana in collaboration with sound artist Andrew McLees and dancers Britney Tokumoto, Lize-Lotte Pitlo present a performance that is as much a meditation on materiality as it is an exploration of form and sound. Using concrete blocks, flashlights and live-collected sounds to build a moving, sonic landscape, ‘Constructs’ plays with ideas of construction, both physical and metaphorical. Each accumulating gesture and sound is an exploration of the tangible and the ephemeral, harnessing the effects of live sound and improvised performance to capture and play with the perception of the audience. IMMATERIAL, presents an exploration of the corporeal, cultural, and technological forces that permeate and shape our everyday experiences - forces often felt but rarely seen. The exhibition brings together Roxana Barba, Cynthia Cruz, Brooke Frank, Richard Garet, Stephanie Hadad, Amanda Linares, and Alexandra Fields O’Neale, whose works navigate the thresholds between materiality and perception. Spanning mediums including video, sound, sculpture, and movement, works represent the fragmentation of time, resonance, and the imprints of memory, each shaping an evolving sense of self within a fluid and shifting cultural framework. Curated by Melissa Wallen.

New Level Unlocked: 40 🏆🍓⚓️ Infinite love and gratitude to the light of my life @oilslickrainbow for organizing the best birthday party I could possibly hope for, and the Miami heads who came out to celebrate this major life milestone with me. Beyond grateful to @upperhandart and @loganfazio for immortalizing the moment in the ways they know best. Scroll to the end to see my birthday gift from Melissa: a pair of captain chairs from a boat once owned by my late father, Howard, given a second life by @office.g.a and @tranquiyanqui . Deeply moving. Thank you all so much.

What a wild 17 years ✨ It amazes me that I’ve known @oilslickrainbow since my late-teens/early 20s. Our love has been the only real constant in my life, even through the darkest days and nights. This has been the most rewarding journey I’ve been on and I have no desire to ever stop. Here’s to eternity with Melissa Wallen. Happy Valentine’s Day to the Queen of the Hutch 🐰 I love you.

Zero to ULTRA in no time flat: Nothing is going to top seeing The Armed play a breathtaking, teeth-shattering, potentially left-hand fracturing [Update: yep, fractured] sold-out hometown show in Detroit last night. Ugh. Concerts are ruined for me until further notice. It was that good. Totally indoctrinated into the cult at this point. So much love to fellow travelers @fishblendr @sissy_05 @rmjonesiii for making it a legendary trip. First pic is a #repost by @intheblackphotography .
