MAI Presents
Eight Brazilian performance artists will premiere new works, five performing daily from 1pm-9pm during the two-month exhibition period. The other three artists will present site-specific interventions. Prior to the exhibition, the artists participated in a "Cleaning the House," workshop. Over the course of five days, they prepared for the long durational performances using exercises that develop each performer’s resistance, concentration, self-control, and willpower.
