📦MONDAY MAY 18📦 2026 AiR Erica Enriquez presents a movement and language based participatory workshop that invites audience participants to play with cardboard. What structures can be built, destroyed, flattened, filled, emptied or imagined by group motion? How can language be a generative mechanism for arriving at a movement beyond its initial meaning or purpose? How might material and language work in tandem with one another, guided by the subconscious connections drawn by audience participants?
Using the song The First Snow In Kokomo by Aretha Franklin as a portal, the workshop will be accompanied by the band Ube Boys, performing a set of improvisational music inspired by the lyrics “Applegate discovered a coronet, almost right away.” Participants will be supplied with a room full of cardboard boxes, packing tape and dollies, while collectively considering the expansive potential of the words “Almost” “Right” and “Away” …
This OPEN LAB serves as a deeper investigation into a performance by Enriquez entitled MOVING COMPANY.

THANKS FOR RIDING WITH US 🚂 💨 I needed a week to process this absolute dream come true thank you to everyone who welcomed us, bought merch, joined the game show and rode along on our very first tour. Immense love to all of the bands that joined us and an extra special shoutout to @peterenriquezmusic for saving the tour playing drums on 80% of the music with no rehearsal when our dearest graham fell ill. truly one for the books thank you see you soon - stand clear of the closing doors bing bong
first and last images by our new friend @gotshotbymike thank you!!!
ALL ABOARD WE’RE GOING ON TOUR!!! I remember being a teenager reading tour blogs of my favorite bands and dreaming about what it would be like to take my own music on the road and now it’s really happening!! it’s an extra special tour too because it’s a two in one where I will also be sharing my Artist Talk performance at a few colleges along the way. Hope to see you & thanks everyone who helped make this happen (note***we will end up home in the Hudson Valley, I am still just ironing out where bear with me it’s my first time organizing this kind of thing)

balding strips and hubcap wigs (A Winter Coat or PEELS #2.1)

96”X48”X6”
performance residue: thesis tires, screws, paint, hubcaps I found on the honeywell bridge, plywood the trade school left in the dumpster, glue, wigs from an artist talk
Sometimes a tire is no longer considered useful when there is a hole in it. Other times it rolls too far and it goes bald. BALD. JUNK. TRASH! Yet, it’s more than simply rubber, holding strength from its steel skeleton, but banned from working as a tire…too dangerous… that slippery peel…
so I screwed it down for safe keeping. Maybe with a wig its baldness can be masqueraded. A winter coat, or a curtain SO DRAMATIC that renaissance window drapery.
