Throughout the 2025 / 2026 season, ten artists selected via a peer nomination process will each receive access to space and financial support for early stage research into their new projects.

Alla Kovgan (film), Paula Matthusen (sound/music), Katherine Profeta (text), Mieke Ulfig (graphic arts), Tuçe Yasak (light/installation), and Netta Yerushalmy (movement) come together to devise nothing personal, just everything – a multi-sensory tangle of pictures, bodies, and objects in motion. Interrogating ideas of femaleness, fleshiness, the passage of time, the evasive notion of belonging, and the survival practices of their artist-heroines through history, these six makers move in and out of step with one another, constructing and dismantling jagged landscapes.

In her solo performance Blast!, Ruth Childs crafts a choreographed dialogue with the percussive sound design of Stéphane Vecchione, weaving its rhythms and ruptures together with movement into a choreographic circle. Drawing from her observations of how humans express themselves, Childs confronts and interacts with representations of bodies that embody a terrible violence.

NOTHING: more is an anti-still life, a moving composition of objects and bodies in a process of making and remaking the self.

In the spirit of the unfinished, the unformed, and the untamed, the Saturday Salons bring together visual artists, writers, musicians, composers, performers, and others to present selections from works-in-process.

Your Ghost Body is a memory palace in the form of a playable junkyard. Its genesis was an inquiry into the way I carry the landscapes of childhood and adolescence with me as a psychic possession and the question of what to do in middle age with the vestigial homing instinct for a place I no longer inhabit.

Made in Heaven is a new performance and visual art piece by Neal Medlyn in collaboration with Ulrika Andersson featuring live music, dance, painting, and video. Inspired by the Jeff Koons/Cicciolina art disaster, and following large scale works by Medlyn on themes of death and God, Made in Heaven is about sex and the doomed and comic creation of something alluring, menacing, and holy.

Control emerges from research into y?kai (shapeshifting entities) and henshin (transformational processes) from Okinawan folkloric traditions. Drawing on postwar Japanese cinema’s treatment of corporeal transformation and sexualized violence in films like Paradise View and Woman in the Dunes, invites six paired performers into a shared, occupied site where sensual memory, historical trauma, and embodied shame oscillate and intersect within the dark, heavily surveilled space of the theater.

BANKing: […/+*^%<>€£¥$&@!!!!^^^] is an immersive performance that confronts the body as an ambivalent site of political and existential inscription.

Memory Fleet is a continually expanding, episodic, migrating performance that builds an alternative archive for the preservation of shared embodied memories and stories.
