Empire of Dirt Presents an Easter Tea Service: A
Performance Installation by Tabatha Trolli and Xxavier
Edward Carter
A one-of-a-kind gathering exploring the body, service, and culture through ceramics
and live performance — with complimentary tea cups for all guests. on view April 5,
2026.
DALLAS, TX — Empire of Dirt invites the Dallas–Fort Worth arts community to an
Easter Tea Service unlike any other: a live performance installation conceived and
executed by artists Tabatha Trolli and Xxavier Edward Carter. Set against the backdrop
of the Easter season, the event brings together ceramics, embodied performance, and
communal gathering to probe the body, the concept of service, colonial histories,
contemporary American culture, and the enduring significance of material objects.
Guests are welcomed to tea, refreshments, and fellowship in an environment shaped by
over 200 handcrafted ceramic cups and vessels — each one a unique artistic object. The
setting invites engagement with the festivals of spring: pastels, restorative nature, and
the fashions of rebirth. This is a non-religious service; all faiths are welcome.
Each ticket includes a complimentary, one-of-a-kind tea cup. Tickets are $40 plus tax
and are available at Eventbrite.
About the Event
Now in its third year, the Easter Tea Party has grown into one of the most ambitious and
intimate artistic gatherings in Dallas. This iteration features a fully designed
performance installation with live performances by both Trolli and Carter, an Easter
luncheon, and afternoon tea service. The tea cup — handmade, singular, offered as gift
— functions as the vessel through which the artists draw connections across the DFW
arts community and illuminate the performance of service as both aesthetic and political
act.
Sponsors and cultural partners are invited to gift tickets to artists, emerging creatives,
arts supporters, and members of their communities, offering a unique artistic and
cultural experience to open the spring season.

Harman-Parrish Atelier Presents Phantom Limb: New
Works by Tabatha Trolli and Xxavier Edward Carter
An exhibition of sculpture and works on paper exploring the body, nature, loss, and
regeneration — on view April 9, 2026 through April 23, 2026 in Dallas, Texas.
DALLAS, TX — Harman-Parrish Atelier is proud to present Phantom Limb, an
exhibition of sculpture and works on paper by Dallas artists Tabatha Trolli and Xxavier
Edward Carter. On view from April 9, 2026 through April 23, 2026, the exhibition
brings together two dynamic bodies of expressive work united by a shared inquiry into
the human body and the natural world.
The exhibition’s title and works evoke a simultaneous familiarity and distance — to the
body, to nature, to form — expressed through material, color, and abstraction. Cycles of
loss, gain, estrangement, intimacy, manufacture, and regeneration converge in these
works, inviting viewers into a space where the physical and the phantom are held in
careful tension.

E-mail: lapena227@gmail.com / facebook.com/LaPenaAustin /Instagram: @lapena_austin
Nicolás dedicates this event to the memory of Daniel Llanes
During his presentation at La Peña, Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo Ovalles Morel Atrib reconnects with neighbors and friends in Austin, where in 2024 he launched La Escuelita: A Latinx Evening School for Critical Consciousness / The Austin Texas Chapter. He will share documentation of the project and reflect on how his studio at the University of Texas at Austin became a week-long escuelita—a small, community-centered school within both the campus and the city at large. Bringing together neighbors and participants from diverse backgrounds, the program featured classes, workshops, panels, talks, performances, and lectures grounded in lived Latinx experiences. This temporary school created space for forms of knowledge often absent from traditional academic settings, highlighting historic, herstoric, and theirstoric Latinx voices and lineages engaged in activism, organizing, and social justice in Austin and surrounding areas. Participants included Daniel Llanes, Roxana Rodríguez, Bella Varela, Pepe Coronado, Julio Pérez, Cynthia Pérez and Libby Pérez, Josefina Castillo, Wanda Montemayor, Sylvia Orozco, Carmen Zuvieta, and Oro Dance (Audrey Guerrero and Angie Egea).
La Peña is funded and supported in part by the City of Austin through the Economic Growth and Redevelopment Services Office/Cultural Arts Division, and by grants from the Alice Kleberg Reynolds Foundation, the Texas Commission on the Arts, and CoYoTe Phoenix. These supporters share the belief that an investment in the arts is an investment in Austin’s future. Visit Austin at www.visitaustin.org

Dear Friends,
I’m deep in the run of BUGHOUSE (https://vineyardtheatre.org/shows/bughouse/) at the Vineyard Theatre. This hour-long solo theatrical performance work based on the life and work of the outside artist Henry Darger (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Darger), directed by Martha Clarke, has been extended, and runs through Sunday, April 5th.
It’s at times daunting to be on stage alone for an hour, speaking an extended monologue while inhabiting the body (lame) and voice (Chicago accent) of Darger, but it has seriously honed my acting and vocal delivery chops, and has been consistently playing to full houses. It’s one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done, and I’m super proud of it. TICKETS (https://boxoffice.vineyardtheatre.org/EventAvailability?EventId=16401&ref=bookNow&scroll=timeAndDates)
It can be tough when projects overlap, and I wasn’t able to savor the final days of my exhibition A FRIEND GAVE ME A BOOK (https://www.ppowgallery.com/exhibitions/john-kelly2#tab:thumbnails;tab-1:slideshow) at PPOW. But in retrospect it was a success, very well attended, and received a lot of press attention. The general response has set me up for my next visual art project, which I am still pondering. We don’t yet have a publisher for the book version of the work, though there is some interest form an independent publishing house.

Primary Traces by Richard H. Alpert
On View: March 11 – May 18, 2026
Primary Traces by Richard H. Alpert layers the intuitive, early imaginative vocabulary of childhood, those first internal images of forms and shapes, with a seasoned formal sensibility and an awareness of contemporary scientific inquiry into abstract sculpture. The exhibition features small synthetic‑rubber sculptures molded over steel wire armatures, alongside large wire‑and‑mixed‑media constructions.
One major work, Mechanism for Twisting Wire (Cosmos I), measuring 5’H × 3’W × 11’L, functions as Alpert’s illustrated theory of the universe. Thirty‑six black cylinders, each releasing a single wire, travel in erratic, looping paths toward a vertical plate. The wires appear to have been torqued by a second plate at the opposite end of the structure, as if an unseen force has acted upon the entire mechanism. The result is part diagram, part machine, part cosmological speculation.
Influenced by scientific and Dadaist thought, Alpert’s use of utilitarian materials challenges conventional notions of function, inviting viewers to reflect on the relationship between art, utility, and the nature of solidity.

ANNE SHERWOOD PUNDYK: “GETTING LOST ON PURPOSE” A Solo Exhibition of New Prints at The Gallery at Holy Trinity Church, Greenport, NY Curated by Rainer Gross March 8 – April 19 Opening Reception Sunday, March 8, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm Introduction by Rainer Gross and a Conversation with Anne Sherwood Pundyk
A solo exhibition by Anne Sherwood Pundyk opens March 8, 2026 at The Gallery at Holy Trinity Church. Curated by Rainer Gross and titled, “Getting Lost on Purpose,” the show debuts new monoprints Anne created at the Flatbed Center for Contemporary Printmaking in Austin, TX. Anne set out to translate her painting sensibility to printmaking during her month-long residency there in December, 2025. The prints will be shown alongside a selection of her recent paintings. Anne Sherwood Pundyk, “Self 11,” Monoprint “Looking back on my residency, it’s clear that engaging with a new medium is more than a superficial technical exercise. It operates on a gut level,” Anne says. “There are specialized components to master, however, to make something your own, ironically you have to let go. You have to step outside yourself while simultaneously channeling what is core to your being.” Using monoprinting techniques Anne set her compositional parameters with stencils. As in her paintings, the overlapping circular elements and rectangular panels reflect her interest in portraying shifts of mood and emotion primarily through pure color. She employed varied ink effects through the use of solvent splatters, thread, and an occasional additional drypoint plate layer. Appreciating the importance of balancing both the white of the paper with the depth of darker mixed and layered hues, she learned through trial and error to recognize the moment when a print was resolved and took on a presence of its own.“Chance plays a role in Anne’s painting,” Rainer recounts, “Her new prints embrace this sensibility and are just gorgeous.” Anne often begins a painting with a structure in mind and then dismantles it as she goes. Likewise, while printmaking requires precise preparation, one never knows exactly what the results will be. Anne makes large, colorful, abstract paintings on unstretched canvas. She applies paint in a variety of ways. Some are similar to printmaking where she presses patterned textures and shapes onto the canvas. These effects are layered with organic forms made by staining the canvas with liquid paint. The underlying structure of her paintings is created by cropped panels of canvas sewn together in different configurations.They remain unstretched retaining their irregular borders, loose threads and disrupted surfaces. Meet and chat with Anne Sherwood Pundyk and Rainer Gross in The Gallery at Holy Trinity Church, 768 Main Street, Greenport, NY on Sunday, March 8, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm. Anne Sherwood Pundyk Anne Sherwood Pundyk is an artist and writer who brings together the traditions of abstract art, textiles and storytelling. Based in Mattituck and Manhattan, NY, she has exhibited widely over the last 35 years. Since moving her primary studio to Mattituck in 2014 she has focused on working with color and form on unstretched canvas. Over the last six years she and Rainer have shared regular studio visits. annesherwoodpundyk.com
Rainer Gross Rainer Gross is an internationally recognized artist and musician who lives and works in Cologne, Germany and Cutchogue NY. He moved his painting studio to the North Fork in 2017. Over the last 30 years he has focused on a meditative, abstract aesthetic. He explores the essential nature of things engaging improvisationally with color and surface. rainergross.com

at
The New Museum
We are extremely pleased to announce the inclusion of Liberated Sex Machine (1960–70/2013) in New Humans: Memories of the Future, the inaugural exhibition of the New Museum’s expanded building. The show explores what it means to be human in the face of sweeping technological changes.
From 1969 to 1973, Agnes Denes created drawings and concept based works that focused on aspects of human psychology. In Liberated Sex Machine (1969–70), and a related drawing Human Hang-Up Machine (1969), she references Marcel Duchamp’s mechanization of physical and emotional processes, while injecting her own wickedly delightful sense of humor.
Writing in the October 2019 issue of Artforum, Lauren O’Neill-Butler states: “In Denes’s drawing Human Hang-Up Machine, 1969, she conflates mechanical processes with Freudian discourse, while in Liberated Sex Machine, 1970, the apparatus is captioned with bawdy phrases like CAPTIVE SCREW, HOT DIPPING, and ECCENTRIC HOLE. Both works come across as biting commentary on our desire to increase or decrease our psychological and/or libidinal capacities. If we could do that, as these contrivances satirically suggest (through the EMPATHY AMPLIFIER, for instance), perhaps we could find some kind of equilibrium.”
Agnes Denes’s print Liberated Sex Machine, inspired by the original drawing in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, was included in Absolutes and Intermediates, the comprehensive survey of her work at The Shed, New York (2019–20). The following is excerpted from her conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist, published in the catalogue that accompanied the exhibition.
HUO: It’s true that there is a lot of humor in your work.
AD: Yes, philosophy that has a sense of humor. Einstein had it too. I want to show you the Liberated Sex Machine.
HUO: Was it realized?
AD: It doesn’t have to be. It’s a drawing, but it could be, I guess. It reads: “Countersunk hole for flathead screws.” These are authentic engineering terms, but the double meaning is very funny. This was my answer to the women’s movement: Liberated Sex Machine. “Inhibition clutch.”
… The Human Hang-Up Machine is also very funny. I’m using engineering terms to explain humanity’s hang-ups.
Liberated Sex Machine is available in magenta or blue in separate editions of 30 each. Please contact the gallery at info@tonkonow.com for information on availability and pricing.

SCREENING
ARLEEN SCHLOSS BY STUART GINSBERG
IT’S A TO Z: THE ART OF ARLEEN SCHLOSS
TUESDAY, MARCH 31 AT 7PM
537 BROADWAY, 2ND FLOOR
NEW YORK, NY 10012
AS PART OF
THE EXPERIMENTAL INTERMEDIA
MARCH 2026 SERIES
SUGGESTED DONATION: $10
It’s A to Z: The Art of Arleen Schloss is a feature-length documentary about Arleen Schloss, the underground artist, director, and curator who became an influential figure in the downtown New York art scene from the 1970s through the 1990s.
Through never-before-seen archival footage shot by Schloss herself, and mixed with commentary from people from the scene, we trace Schloss’s story and see, from her point of view, the texture of New York City’s downtown milieu of the period.
Known as an “artist’s artist,” Schloss became influential through A’s, her loft space that became a hub for genre-defying music, gallery shows, performance art, film, and other happenings. A hotbed of experimentation, A’s featured the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Eric Bogosian, Glenn Branca, Kim Gordon, Shirin Neshat, Thurston Moore, Alan Vega of Suicide, Ai Weiwei, and John Zorn, among others.
In addition to the shows she curated at A’s and elsewhere, Schloss gained notice as a critically acclaimed performance artist in the 1970s. A New York Times critic once described her multimedia productions as “much superior to most performance art.” Her shows established Schloss as a prolific connector who brought people together from both the underground and more mainstream creative communities.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Schloss became one of the first artists to integrate technology and lasers into her performance art. Schloss was frequently one of the earliest in a group of artists to integrate new technologies, including early video, into her projects. She evolved into a successful video artist and made inroads into other forms of digital media during the dotcom boom of the 1990s and early aughts.
Always challenging herself to create no matter the prevailing conditions, Schloss remains a transformative figure and an inspiring force in the lives of many artists and creatives. She continued to mentor and support up-and-coming artists from all over the world throughout the 2010s.
Stuart Ginsberg makes his directorial debut with It’s A to Z: The Art of Arleen Schloss, an award-winning documentary, recognized as Best Historical Documentary by the Fine Arts Film Festival, Best Director by the Indie Berlin Film Festival, and Best Documentary Film by the Solaris Film Festival in Helsinki.
He previously served as an associate producer on two independent feature films: Followers (2000), the first, received national distribution by Castle Hill Productions. Stuart later served as the associate producer for Shockwave, Darkside (2014), an independent science fiction film. An adjunct professor at Montclair State University in Montclair, N.J., and a career coach, Stuart also enjoys writing for and performing in storytelling and improv shows. He began his career in public relations promoting independent films, TV specials, and Broadway shows. He holds a B.A. from American University and an M.A. from The New School.

25. Alicia Grullón, FF Alumn, now online at Hyperallergic.com
I’m pleased to share two recent articles on social practice (participatory) art published in Hyperallergic this month.
One is written by a longtime friend and the founding director Ed Woodham of Art in Odd Places, and the other is by yours truly, Alicia Grullón. Together, these pieces explore the potential of social practice not merely as an exercise in symbolic transformation, but as a critical framework for reimagining the real world, engaging directly with material conditions, public space, and present context.
The articles consider how artists can move beyond representation to enact tangible change, using practical tools, collaboration, and site-responsive thinking. They also reflect on the tensions and possibilities inherent in working within communities while navigating institutional, social, and political realities.
You can read the articles here:
https://hyperallergic.com/how-a-texas-town-became-an-art-project
and here:

I hope you find them engaging, and I’d welcome any thoughts or conversation they might spark.
All best,
Alicia Grullón

Joseph Kosuth
The-exchange-value-of-language-has-fallen-to-zero
Casa dei Tre Oci, Venice, Italy
March 28 – November 22, 2026
Sean Kelly is delighted to announce Joseph Kosuth’s The-exchange-value-of-language-has-fallen-to-zero at the Casa dei Tre Oci, Venice, opening March 28, 2026 which will be on view until November 22, 2026. The exhibition spans over fifty years of Kosuth’s oeuvre, bringing together historical works and a new installation that examines how meaning is shaped by the context in which it appears, revealing language as never neutral, but always influenced by its environment and reception.
Created specifically for Casa dei Tre Oci, and presented in the main entrance of the exhibition space is A Chain of Resemblance, 2026, a new large-scale neon installation based on a text by Michel Foucault. The work addresses how meaning takes shape in the relationship between text and context, highlighting how language is influenced by the environment in which it appears and ways in which it is recieved. Early works including One and Three Mirrors, 1965, in which the ordinary function of the mirror is redefined in a representational and conceptual sense, focusing on the mechanisms through which language contributes to the construction of identity. The exhibtion also includes seminal works including The Fifth Investigation, 1969 and Text/Context, 1978–1979, which investigate themes of authorship and the relationship between language and context.
Kosuth has a long-standing connection with Venice, having lived and worked there since 2021, though his ties to the city date back several decades. He has participated in eight editions of the Venice Biennale, representing the Hungarian Pavilion in 1993, where he received an Honorable Mention. His permanent neon installation, The Material of Ornament, has been exhibited at the Fondazione Querini Stampalia since 1997. Additionally, his work, To Invent Relations (For Carlo Scarpa), was commissioned for the 2016 Architecture Biennale and is installed in the Mario Baratto lecture hall of Università Ca Foscari, Venice.
