Info:
J. Morrison proposes an escape from city life, and asks the question is "New York a prison?" Desiring to create a retreat from the norm, the artist invites your presence to accompany him on a new exploration. Continuing thematically with the first 2 performances, this work introduces new elements to form a 3rd site-specific storyline. Theatrical, provocative, and mysterious, the work pays homage to the likes of Sleep No More, David Lynch's the Black Lodge, and John Carpenter's film of the same title. Incorporating themes of fantasy vs reality, removal and escapism, lightness and darkness, loss and hope, the artist creates a journey into a new dimension.

Bio:
J. Morrison is a multidisciplinary Brooklyn-based artist. He favors using the art of the ephemeral, multiples, and take-one pieces. His practice is often about the experience of the work.

Using intimacy and humor, he plays with issues of identity in an open-ended manner, often inviting the audience to observe or participate.
