More Info + RSVP Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board Closing Reception
Thursday, June 25, 2026
“Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board” asks whether you are the invisible onlooker or an active participant. Eli Kauffman and Michael Gunn harness painting’s voyeuristic nature to complicate interpersonal relationships. The paintings exist at a threshold where our internal world is acted upon, through collaboration and intimacy. Tangled foliage, Twisting cables, A cast shadow—Reach, hold, repair, tend. How do we balance relying on one another while channeling the power of that which goes unseen? This exhibition shares its title with a game played by children at slumber parties. A levitation trick that evokes the unknown, a tension with the truth of its physics.The events that unfold are recalled, heightened and eventually brought back down to earth. The disillusion of our accounts is a natural conclusion. Through melodramatic lighting and intangible ghostly presence, tension between physicality and spirituality charges moments with desire—an attempt towards harmony.

MISSDICK VIBROCIS (Chicago): "a noise/performance art duo featuring crypto-femme demoness Forced Into Femininity and garbage-mouth seabird Lorene Bouboushian. By taking all cultural influences of recent tours and childhood (see: christian fundamentalism) under their wings and into the trash compactors known as their bodies, they seek to enlighten via confusion, noise, and rubbing their theatrical makeup on you."

STREET SECTS (Austin TX)
"In the regularly rotating arena of heavy music, where metal tends to dominate more often than not, Street Sects stand out as being uniquely adversarial and should not to be overlooked. Their new record, End Position, emerges at an appropriate time more than ever as a much needed silver lining to the many shapes of punk that never came." -New Noise Magazine. With local support from:

Machines with Magnets proudly presents the first Providence performance of early minimal synthesist, JOHN BENDER. "The few self-issued recordings by experimental electronic musician John Bender attained legendary status decades after their initial release during the early '80s. Bender's bizarre, shadowy songs were inspired by Robert Ashley and Pere Ubu, and recorded using bare-bones recording equipment and primitive synthesizers. He issued three full-length LPs and a few cassettes before vanishing; subsequently, his recordings became holy grails for aficionados of minimal synth, avant-garde, and obscure music in general." With local support from:
UNIVERSAL CELL UNLOCK (CF, Daily Life, Kites), VALISE (Maralie of Humanbeast), CREAM CANDLES (Carlos of Russian Tsarlag & Bridget of Aether Jag), and HAND OF FOOD (Eric and Dave of Finished) with SAKIKO MORI (Daily Life/Lazy Magnet) playing keys and select tracks between acts.
