About this Event

*In the event that advance tickets for this program are sold out, an in-person wait list will open at 7PM. We always do our best to get everyone inside comfortably!
Multidisciplinary provocateur Empress Wu guest curates OPEN STUDIOS, inviting multimedia artists Xiomara Sebastián Castro Niculescu, Jessica Perez, and Micha Malvada to share works in development. Guided by her own desires/dilemmas in both personal and professional leathersex, Wu is interested in uncovering how each artist explores confrontation, power, and personae in the ultimate sadomasochistic dynamic--the one we perform with ourselves.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS


Empress Wu (all pronouns) is a professional dominatrix and cultural activist practicing in NYC and beyond. Their work explores the performance of intimacy, through digital landscapes, queer SM, sexual labor, ancestral ritual, conflict and more. Her work in all its forms have been seen at MoMA PS1, the Performa

Biennial, Brown University and probably a dungeon near you. She lives digitally at empresswu.net and mjtom.work


OPEN STUDIOS is a series of work-in-progress showings held regularly throughout the year, organized by guest curators, and serves as an incubator for new work, inviting the public into the artistic process.
