Invitation to Monster

Invitation to Monster is a portal into an extrahuman space. Ho-Tai, alongside artists Jenny Hipscher and Nehemiah Luckett, will extend themselves through sculpture, movement, and sound to ask: What is monstrous in and around us? How can we play in the depths? When we welcome the scary, what is transformed? This performance will guide participants to the edges of body and collective. Loosen your human suits, all monsters welcome.

This intimate, one-hour performance will take place in the gallery in front of a small audience and continue as an interactive exploration on the Museum of Arts and Design’s seventh floor. There are a limited number of tickets available.

The exhibition Garmenting: Costume as Contemporary Art includes a series of live events featuring artists who engage critically with fashion and costume through live and video-based performances.

Garmenting: Costume as Contemporary Art is the first global survey to examine the use of clothing as a medium of visual art. By either making or altering clothing for expressive purposes, the 35 international artists in the exhibition create garments, sculpture, installation, and performance art that transforms dress into a critical tool for exploring issues of subjectivity, identity, and difference.
