Featured Artists
J Alex Ray - GETTING TO KNOW YOU [GETTING TO KNOW YOU] is a performance piece of taking some flesh (a large rib cage/torso or cow heart) on a long date.J ALEX RAY (b. 1997 in Chicago, IL) is a New York-based visual and performance artist and pole dancer. Their work consists of experimental movement and self-portraiture revolving around themes of personal evolution and growth. Their visual storytelling harmonizes improvised dance and endurance challenges interacting with material and live deconstruction. These performances are presented live in front of an audience before being refined as separate visual projects. As Ray’s performances are revisited across new showcases, the ritual evolves from space to space, showing the impact of the live environment and the live energetic transmutation between the ever-shifting relationship between time, J, and the audience.

Maxwell Abeles (b.1983, Madbury NH) aka MAKS (Musically Advanced Kinetic Systems) has been using art and technology in performance and installation since 2009. Music, masks, and sculpture are implored to obscure the individual and expose the primordial. Space-age polytheism, return to the public square, posthuman kinetic energy! MAKS recently toured Japan as part of Avant Garde a Clue Japan festival in February 2025. In January 2025 his collective Guerrilla Theater performed with Estonian performance group Non Grata in Washington Square Park, NYC during "Melting Point" mass performance event.

Ahona Paul - Days of DeathAhona Paul is an artist based in New York City. Their current work has a focus on multimedia installation pieces, with elements of their ink illustration and painting background seeping into the more digital, tech-advanced nature of the work. The current theme in their life is sonder, and they use their art to explore the depths of human experience and create space for empathy. Days of Death is an example of art as archival matter, a way of preserving memories of places long gone. Explored through the artist’s narrative around their grandmother’s home, and the many stages of displacement and instability, the piece helps us confront what happens after the “death” of a physical memory.
Gabriel Lee - Mottos && Holding the sun in the palm of my handGabriel Lee's work explores language, embodiment, and queer & transgender relationality. They house electronics in organic, uncanny avatars to make them come alive, processing and transmitting deeply intimate, human subjects through machines. These forms express computational repetition, poetry, and audio to evoke rituals and examine language as an act of creation. Their recent artworks are in interactive mixed-media sculpture, ceramics, text with image, and computational poetry.
