LIVE PERFORMANCE and Exhibition Opening
Katya Grokhovsky, Touch It
SOHO20 Gallery
56 Bogart St, Brooklyn, New York 11206
7:30pm
The evolving installation Pleasure Principle, by Katya Grokhovsky, currently on view in +/- Project Space will culminate in an interactive public performance, in which the audience is given permission to touch, hold and caress the objects from the installation, transcending boundaries between the art and the observer. Through the act of permission, Grokhovsky will share the maker's privilege of accessing the work physically, as well as the experience of pleasure in making it, juxtaposing the visual pleasure of viewing versus physical experience of performative actions. Live Performance Response: Christen Clifford

LIVE PERFORMANCE
Lisa Levy, The Artist Is Humbly Present, a 2-day durational performance
Christopher Stout Gallery, New York
299 Meserole Street, Ground Floor, Brooklyn, New York 11206
1-6pm (January 30-31st)
Referencing Marina Abramović's seminal 2010 performance at Moma, "The Artist is Present" as a symbol of contemporary art world pretense, Levy will recreate her own version of Marina Abramović's 2010 performance at Moma, "The Artist is Present" as her own "The Artist Is Humbly Present."

In her version, Levy will present herself completely naked, silent and sitting on a toilet. Across from her will be another toilet, which visitors may sit on across from her as in the original Abramović performance. That toilet will be presented lid closed with visitors responding to Lisa's performance however they wish, with the exception of touching her.
