June 25th will mark the opening of Provisions’ second Close Encounters exhibit, this time in NYC at the Nathan Cummings Foundation. Featuring 14 artists with distinct acts of social imagination, the premiere performance of Floating Lab Collective’s Screamer, and musical guests the Tom Gardner Trio. Opening night is sure to be a celebration.

Our intention with Close Encounters is to create an autonomous zone– a workshop– where difficult questions and ideas about the state of the world can interact in sometimes disturbing but always thought-provoking ways. . .The exhibition’s design, which includes relevant books from Provisions Library, invites deeper reflection and dialogue.
