Announcing our April Artist-in-Residence ⭐️ the amazing Lena Deutsch

Lena Deutz (they/them), also known as Garden of Hedon, is a Brooklyn-based experimental performance artist, event producer, and climate scientist. Lena’s work uses movement and endurance to position the body as both subject and witness, surfacing socio-environmental urgencies shaped by water governance, and technologies that transform it. Their work addresses nature’s borderless needs by investigating the intersection of water, war, and sanctity, articulated through technology, ritual, noise, dirt, and gore. These explorations are grounded in continued research on water resources, climate justice, and climate-resilient futures.

Lena holds a Bachelor of Arts from Hampshire College, and Master of Science from Columbia University. Their work has been presented at Grace Exhibition Space, Chinatown Soup Gallery, Trans Pecos, Honey’s, Art Apple NYC, Chaos Computer, Purgatory, and other DIY spaces throughout New York City. Lena co-founded MOMENTA in 2022, a dance and performance art series that has brought together dozens of artists in different creative spaces. Previously, Lena founded Disembodied Affair in 2020, an online performance series created during the pandemic that connected artists across the world.

💫 INTRODUCING 💫 Our March Artist-in-Residence Ime Soul

Ime Soul is a live arts practitioner working on ephemeral installations, moving images, and performance. Ime Soul presents biomythological work exploring Blackness, abjection, sexuality, and the constraints of language as articulation. Their performances misuse formal qualities of Black church. Often a combination of extended duration and high intensity, Ime Soul uses fatigue as a vehicle to open up a sensorial and reflective space. Like church, witness and participation makes their work complete. Ime Soul received an undergraduate degree in Fine Art and American and Indigenous studies at Bard College (2022), as well as a graduate degree from the Center for Human Rights and the Arts (2024). Their work has been shown across New York State at spaces ranging from fine art institutions to public interruptions– Performance Space NY, Gallery 495 (‘26), CultureHub (‘26), Intercomm (‘24, ‘25) to name a few.

💘ANNOUNCING 💘 Our February Artist-in-Residence : none other than Philip Errico (MISS PHILIP)

Show announcement to follow!!!

Philip Errico (MISS PHILIP) is a performing artist, musician, and visual storyteller from Queens, New York. Their work draws on the monotony of suburban and urban life, internet-mediated identities, and technological dependency–examining how these forces erode and reshape the psyche. Errico’s work explores internal fantasy as it emerges from overstimulation and isolation, shaped by the tension between inner experience and external reality. Their practice extracts lived experience into immersive, cross-disciplinary work that treats emotion like raw material: compressed, overheated, and occasionally volatile.

Moving fluidly between sound, performance, moving image, and spatial installation, Errico examines how bodies navigate environments on the edge of exhaustion and collapse. Their work often blurs boundaries between audience and performer, ritual and chaos, growth and decay. Discomfort functions not as an obstacle, but as an entry point–a way of paying attention. Immersed in cycles of screen saturation, dissociation, and compulsive consumption, Philip transmutes psychic paralysis into dire demonstrations of performance as a medium, using the body as a site of rupture, endurance, and refusal. Performance becomes a way to interrupt algorithmic time, externalize internal stagnation, and insist on presence through repetition, exposure, and physical risk.

Philip Errico is one half of the performance art group RUBBERMAID, a flexible performance collective that reacts to current travesties. RUBBERMAID addresses the conditions of daily life surrounding labor, trash, and protest through fluid representations of dance, music, and movement. Philip has shown solo work at Tribeca Film Festival, Amant, Trans-Pecos, The Francis Kite Club, Fourth World, Hex House, and most recently performed in Munich, Germany at Sperling Gallery, Genezarethkirche in Berlin, and choreographed and performed in Anna McCarthy’s INVISIBLE BORDERS demonstration on the Odeonsplatz, Munich.

Announcing our January Artist-in-Residence Bimbi Mafia ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Save the date for Bimbi’s residency showcase Friday January 30.

Bimbi Mafia is an artist, writer, and performer living in Brooklyn, New York exploring belonging/displacement, violence/power, gender/sexuality, mysticism/occultism, dis/ability and disobedience. Currently in their performance work, they most notably embody a ca$h cow and utilize elements of improvisational crowdwork, comedy, drag, kink, burlesque, and ritual to invoke liberatory possibilities in New York and beyond. They have graced the stage in places like Performance Space New York, PLEX Athens, Pioneer Works, Recess Art, the Slipper Room, and most recently Connelly Theater as a part of Pakui Hardware’s Spores in the 2025 Performa Biennial. Under various pseudonyms, their work has been published in Montez Press Radio, Petit Mort, Currant Jam Magazine, S***A, Layout Magazine, and No, Dear. They were an EMERGE NYC Fellow ’23 and a graduate of This Is A Performance School.
