Galleries | Upon a Machine: Indonesian Art Collective's Immersive Exhibition on Hyperreality & AI Performance
Discover a newly commissioned project by Tromarama, an Indonesian art collective known for their investigations into hyperreality and the porous boundaries between virtual and physical worlds, through a robust live performance that activates the installation. Tromarama creates immersive, multimedia environments that merge video, installation, and algorithmic processes. Marking the collective’s first institutional exhibition in the United States, this project extends Tromarama's ongoing inquiry into the blurred lines between labor and leisure through the use of artificial intelligence. Departing from earlier works that mined social media data, Tromarama will develop a new work using context conditioning to an AI model, using their personal literary and music archives. This more intimate dataset becomes a lens through which the artists examine how personal and social histories are reinterpreted and remixed by generative technologies.

An in-process showing of […/+*^%€£¥$&@!!!!^^^], an immersive performance by Moriah Evans that confronts the body as an ambivalent place of political and existential conundrums. Through a sequence of evolving circumstances—internal and external, individual and collective—the piece asks what it means to give, take, receive, and be taken through a compositional structure. It circulates bodies, meaning, and value through repetition and a par corps of changing relationships between the performers and the public. The work unfolds in a manner that prioritizes non-linear thinking and embodied ways of knowing. The showing will feature collaborators Malcolm-x Betts, Chloë Engel, João dos Santos Martins, and Varinia Canto Vila.

As ten-year-old Jason struggles to keep up in school because of his autism, his parents Mirco and Fatime struggle to keep up with him. When faced with being transferred to a special school against his will, Jason makes a deal with his dad: he’ll do his best to fit in, but to do so he’ll need a soccer team to root for, and Mirco will help him find one. But how will he decide before seeing every team play? All 56 of them, that is. Jason’s request sets him and Mirco off on weekly adventures across Germany to find the perfect team: one whose players don’t all wear different colored shoes, or whose fans don’t pour beer on each other, or whose mascots aren’t too silly, or...

Book Discussion | Artist Explores the Ancient Tradition of Alchemy in Her New Book, The Alchemical Imagination
Enjoy this special talk, celebrating the release of Eliza Swann's The Alchemical Imagination, a book that outlines the stages of creating the Philosopher's Stone, as we explore this enduring mystery. Synopsis: The Alchemical Imagination reintroduces the ancient tradition of alchemy through the lens of contemporary creativity. Both practical guide and historical exploration, the book makes this often-misunderstood subject approachable and relevant for today's readers. Swann brings together stories of influential alchemists -- including often-overlooked women and queer figures -- and traces alchemy's impact on early science, healing practices, psychology, visual art, and literature. With thoughtful exercises and reflections, the book encourages readers to deepen their relationship to their own creative process and discover what medieval practitioners once called "The Great Art."

Performance | The Tale of a Poet's Love: Tragic Love Story with Music by Robert & Clara Schumann
Experience a performance of The Tale of a Poet's Love: a staged reimagining of Robert Schumann's "Dichterliebe". This cycle tells the story of a poet who mourns the loss of a romantic relationship, fighting deep emotional turmoil as he deals with the aftermath of being suddenly left for another man. In this concept, a writer writes a fairytale in which a lonely knight falls in love with a mystical fairy bride. He writes this while reminiscing on old memories with his beloved as we begin to see parallels between this fairytale and the real events of his own tragic love story. Becoming lost in his writing, Liam starts believing these creations to be reality and experiences a spiraling rollercoaster of emotions that muddies truth with fantasy. Music by Robert Schumann Poetry by Heinrich Heine Additional Music by Clara Schumann
