In January 2008, The Kitchen presented @maithu’s very first New York solo exhibition Titled An Evening of the Book and Other Stories, Perret’s installation work interrogated aspects of contemporary consumerist culture through the lens of the utopian, avant-garde ideals of the early 20th century and explores how the past continues to be an ongoing active force in shaping the present. 14 years later, we are thrilled to have Perret back in our second floor gallery space as p...art of #IceandFire Throughout her career, Perret has been known for her multidisciplinary practice that engages feminist politics, literary texts and homemade crafts, alongside a range of 20th century avant-garde and radical art movements, from Constructivism and Dada to Bauhaus design. Perret’s current body of work is based on a fictional feminist art commune Perret created called The Crystal Frontier.

The Kitchen mourns the loss of choreographer, performer, and teacher Mary Overlie, who passed in June 2020. Overlie was a key figure in the dance and performance community at The Kitchen in the 70s and 80s, which Cynthia Hedstrom discusses in her latest Kitchen oral history. Overlie’s influence extended far beyond our walls and throughout our arts community: in addition to presenting a number of works at The Kitchen, Overlie was a founding member of our friends @danspaceproje...ct and @movementresearch, and the originator of the Six Viewpoints method. which consists of a study to understand and practice post-modern theater. This Saturday, January 16 at 2pm EST, the Six Viewpoints community is hosting a virtual memorial via Zoom to celebrate Overlie the day after her birthday. All are invited to share remembrances, resonances, imprints and experiences in honor of this beloved community member The zoom room will be open from January 16, 2021 2pm EST until January 17th 1am EST to give space for Overlie's global community members who want to continue the gathering when the sun comes up in their part of the world.

An homage of sorts to Willy Wonka and to the magic of Hollywood in general, @alexisrael's "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" works are installed as hidden gems throughout the third floor of #IceandFire But the five-piece work also points to the vacuity of Hollywood. In other works, Israel has borrowed, and recontextualized, real movie props. But in these prints, he creates replicas, leaving the golden tickets to both symbolize our culture's desire to access the magi...c of Hollywood, and at the same time remind us that this magic is often illusory, even fake.

This is No Substitute for a Dance. This is Dance and Process. This is our webpage. It is ongoing. It will not archive; it fills up and empties out.... This is Alex Rodabaugh. This is Kennis Hawkins. This is Leslie Cuyjet. [This is Kris K. Q. Pourzal by proxy.] Our Dance and Process began just before the global shitshow of 2020. Someone proposed a virtual format for our meetings and we tried it. Why not, our groupness was nice and the world seemed to be both standing still and hurtling towards death. We showed up for each other and kept a process going. Very few records of this time exist. They were accidentally deleted. The vanishing is like a dance though, no? This is the beginning of Dance and Process 2021 and the end of Dance and Process 2020. This is a mystery. This is a publication. This is performance. While this is no substitute, we are committed to this union. This Process. This will unravel onscreen. This will change each month. This will end at Queenslab, April 19 through May 20, 2021. To learn more about the Dance and Process cohort’s ongoing work, visit The Kitchen OnScreen via our link in bio

No stranger to The Kitchen, #JohnArmleder first presented with the organization in 1985. He later returned in 2017 to present the U.S. premiere of "Simultaneous Duo Versions," a collaborative performance with #ChristianMarclay. During this two-night only event, the artists presented seminal works by George Brecht, John Cage, Kurt Schwitters, and LaMonte Young, in addition to their own works from the 1960s onward. Now, Armleder returns to The Kitchen for Part II of our curre...nt exhibition #IceandFire, in which Armleder's "Head" sits in one of our rarely seen office spaces.
