Announcing our May Artist-in-Residence TORRESTIAL @torrestial ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Torrestial is a NYC based movement artist, producer and performer engaging with the unconscious shadow through the lens of erotic horror. Inspired by experimental underground music and performance, her personal works are confrontational, exploring the explicit nature of rage, desire, shame and power dynamics. Torrestial blends visual storytelling influenced by burlesque, kink and drag through hardcore sound and high-impact movement. Each of Torrestial’s works embody the complexity and intensity of human impulse and pleasure in a sometimes unhuman form. Collaborations and performances with musical artists include Mitski, King Woman and Machine Girl. ⭐️ Stay tuned for updates on Torrestial’s residency ⭐️

⭐️ Announcing ⭐️ our April Artist-in-Residence, the amazing Lena Deutz @garden_of_hedon Lena Deutz (they/them), also known as Garden of Hedon, is a Brooklyn-based experimental performance artist, event producer, and climate scientist. Lena’s work uses movement and endurance to position the body as both subject and witness, surfacing socio-environmental urgencies shaped by water governance, and technologies that transform it. Their work addresses nature’s borderless needs by investigating the intersection of water, war, and sanctity, articulated through technology, ritual, noise, dirt, and gore. These explorations are grounded in continued research on water resources, climate justice, and climate-resilient futures. Lena holds a Bachelor of Arts from Hampshire College, and Master of Science from Columbia University. Their work has been presented at Grace Exhibition Space, Chinatown Soup Gallery, Trans Pecos, Honey’s, Art Apple NYC, Chaos Computer, Purgatory, and other DIY spaces throughout New York City. Lena co-founded MOMENTA in 2022, a dance and performance art series that has brought together dozens of artists in different creative spaces. Previously, Lena founded Disembodied Affair in 2020, an online performance series created during the pandemic that connected artists across the world. @garden_of_hedon @momentanyc Photo 2 by Nina Cherkezi Photo 3 by Jiaxin Miao

💫 INTRODUCING 💫 Our March Artist-in-Residence Ime Soul @sazonpackets Ime Soul is a live arts practitioner working on ephemeral installations, moving images, and performance. Ime Soul presents biomythological work exploring Blackness, abjection, sexuality, and the constraints of language as articulation. Their performances misuse formal qualities of Black church. Often a combination of extended duration and high intensity, Ime Soul uses fatigue as a vehicle to open up a sensorial and reflective space. Like church, witness and participation makes their work complete. Ime Soul received an undergraduate degree in Fine Art and American and Indigenous studies at Bard College (2022), as well as a graduate degree from the Center for Human Rights and the Arts (2024). Their work has been shown across New York State at spaces ranging from fine art institutions to public interruptions– Performance Space NY, Gallery 495 (‘26), CultureHub (‘26), Intercomm (‘24, ‘25) to name a few. More to come from Ime’s residency 💥 Slide 1: 📸 @__carolyne__ Slide 2: 🎥 @fluct_monica Slide 3: 📸 Olena Shkoda

💘ANNOUNCING 💘 Our February Artist-in-Residence : none other than Philip Errico (MISS PHILIP) @suburb_succubus Show announcement to follow!!! Philip Errico (MISS PHILIP) is a performing artist, musician, and visual storyteller from Queens, New York. Their work draws on the monotony of suburban and urban life, internet-mediated identities, and technological dependency–examining how these forces erode and reshape the psyche. Errico’s work explores internal fantasy as it emerges from overstimulation and isolation, shaped by the tension between inner experience and external reality. Their practice extracts lived experience into immersive, cross-disciplinary work that treats emotion like raw material: compressed, overheated, and occasionally volatile. Moving fluidly between sound, performance, moving image, and spatial installation, Errico examines how bodies navigate environments on the edge of exhaustion and collapse. Their work often blurs boundaries between audience and performer, ritual and chaos, growth and decay. Discomfort functions not as an obstacle, but as an entry point–a way of paying attention. Immersed in cycles of screen saturation, dissociation, and compulsive consumption, Philip transmutes psychic paralysis into dire demonstrations of performance as a medium, using the body as a site of rupture, endurance, and refusal. Performance becomes a way to interrupt algorithmic time, externalize internal stagnation, and insist on presence through repetition, exposure, and physical risk. Philip Errico is one half of the performance art group RUBBERMAID with Anna McCarthy, a flexible performance collective that reacts to current travesties. RUBBERMAID addresses the conditions of daily life surrounding labor, trash, and protest through fluid representations of dance, music, and movement. Philip has shown solo work at Tribeca Film Festival, Amant, Trans-Pecos, The Francis Kite Club, Fourth World, Hex House, and most recently performed in Munich, Germany at Sperling Gallery, Genezarethkirche in Berlin, and choreographed and performed in Anna McCarthy’s INVISIBLE BORDERS demonstration on the Odeonsplatz, Munich.

💫SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT💫 OFFLEEP by Valentina Baché @vacavache December 11th 7.30pm Tickets in bio!!! This piece is a prayer for healing the quiet invasions of intimate procedures, those necessary violences we are asked to endure for the sake of health. Its pain lives inside a history of medicine shaped by exploitation, pap smears born from experiments on unconsenting people, contraceptives tested on marginalized bodies, a legacy that still shadows the present. Cold stirrups, a widening speculum, the acrid smell of burning flesh, all of it recalls a lineage of harm, sharpened by a surreal lack of information. The body, in another context, still yearns to be entered. What does consent mean when your body must open on command. Through humor & tragedy I weaponize my body to strengthen and dream of possibilities where these procedures can someday become comfortable.
