Finnish duo Grönlund Nisunen are known for their extraordinary work fusing incredible sounds with stunning objects in large scale sculptural installations.

The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.

Three intimate 45 minute sessions, reading your political questions – using Tarot, Palmistry, Reiki, Astrology, and Philosophy, and the invented methods of Fake and Political Therapy.
A socio-poetic reading on wayward communities – The wayward create upheavals, incite tumult. They come and go as they please; they are fugitive; they are in open rebellion against society.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
