Close Encounters 2: Acts of Social Imagination

The second coming of Provisions Library’s Close Encounters features 14 artists with distinct acts of social imagination, the premiere performance of Floating Lab Collective’s Screamer, and musical guests the Tom Gardner Trio.

Our intention with Close Encounters is to create an autonomous zone– a workshop– where difficult questions and ideas about the state of the world can interact in sometimes disturbing but always thought-provoking ways. . .The exhibition’s design, which includes relevant books from Provisions Library, invites deeper reflection and dialogue.

Close Encounters 2: Acts of Social Imagination opens June 25th at the Nathan Cummings Foundation in NYC.
