Celebrate 20 YEARS OF GRACE FEST with a night of boundary-pushing performance art. Crackhead Barney & Rabbistravinsky, Hector Canonge, Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow, and BRUCE FUCKSTAIN/Travis McCoy Fuller bring raw, urgent works that confront power, identity, and public space.
Crackhead Barney is a NYC based performance artist and ambush interviewer.
Rabbistravinsky is an experimental cellist that makes instruments from found objects.
Hector Canonge is an artist whose projects, exhibitions, and presentations in Visual Arts, Installation Art, Performance Art, Dance, and Social Practice, treat notions of identity, gender roles, migration politics, and ancestral heritage. Through his investigation of somatic expression, he has developed a corporeal theory for the practice of Performance Art presenting it in workshops and conferences around the world. Challenging the white box settings of a gallery or a museum, or intervening directly in public spaces, his performances mediate movement, endurance, and ritualistic processes.
Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow is a Jamaican-American interdisciplinary artist based in NYC. Her work has been presented at venues including 798 Beijing, China, Queens Museum, NY, Royal West Academy of England, The National Gallery of Jamaica, and Bronx Museum, NY. Lyn-Kee-Chow earned an MFA from Hunter College CUNY, NY. She co-authored Living Histories of Sugar in the Caribbean and Scotland: Transnationalisms, Performance and Co-creation, a project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and presented in Kingston, JA, and Greenock and Edinburgh in Scotland (2022).
BRUCE FUCKSTAIN (Travis McCoy Fuller) was born on a small mountain on an island in the Mediterranean Sea. Conceived and manifested as a chopping block composed of wood, metals, stone, and bone to assist in the dedicated and timeless dulling of the sharp blade of the imperial knife.
