I've had the utter pleasure of co-organizing "Critics Choice" a one-day show at the RISD Museum featuring featuring 4 art interventions made in collaboration with local artists and guest critics from the pilot
Look at Art. Get Paid. Please join us!
DATE Sunday, June 2, 2019
TIME 1:00pm - 4:00pm
PLACE The RISD Museum, 20 N Main St., Providence, Rhode Island
What truths, problems, and possibilities might be overlooked by regular museum goers, curators, and critics? Asserting lived experience as sufficient cred to act as a cultural critic, “Critic’s Choice” invites four Rhode Islanders who don’t visit art museums to oversee site-specific art interventions by local artists at the RISD Museum. The interventions, which will be on view for a one-day pop-up on June 2nd, push for transparency, access, and accountability.
The four critics—Stephan McCants, Laurilim Rosado, Orianna Rodriguez, and Debra Harris—first visited the RISD museum as part of
Look at Art. Get Paid. (LAAGP)
, our socially engaged artwork that pays people who don’t go to art museums to visit one as a critic of the art and institution. "Critic's Choice" aims to address their critiques publicly through experimentation and collaboration.

"Archaeology is not just excavation (analysis). It must, in some way, synthesize (reconstruct, represent, simulate) the past."

Sista Fire RI, an organization co-creating a network of women of color to build their collective power for social, economic, and political transformation in Rhode Island, is celebrating two of their members’ birthdays with
a fundraiser to sustain their work. Consider donating if you can!
✿ڿڰۣ— A collection of advocates and youth organizers in Maine just kicked off
a campaign to close Long Creek, a youth incarceration facility, and invest in a continuum of community-based alternatives. I couldn’t be more proud of and excited for the work this crew is doing. Shout out to the queer and trans youth organizers of
Portland Outright. ♡

Xander has been doing nothing but Wedding Cake House things
(follow this project on IG already!!). It is/maybe always be endless. When she sleeps she dreams of flaking paint and plaster dust. But some thresholds have been crossed. Like there was a soft opening last week (don't worry, if you didn't know/make it - there will be programing all summer and another "grand" opening in September. She's excited about all of it... Anyway here's a picture of X's outfit from the opening...because outfits are feeling important these days...also a dumpster selfie with Steve (contractor who works with us endlessly) under the almost full moon.
