Penis Iron Maiden
Feral Maz
The Penis Iron Maiden is an interactive piece that combines the horror of medieval torture with the male phallus. Resembling a cross between an armoire and a coffin, the PIM is activated when participants step inside to be gently impaled by hundreds of silicone penises while they gaze at their own dimly lit reflection.
Friday 6:30 – 10:30; Saturday 12:00 – 3:00 and 7:00 – 10:30
Which labels burden you?
Opal Anomaly
Confronting the labels our society and communities apply to us is a profound act of self-intimacy and self-love. It requires vulnerability and courage to embrace our own sense of worth in the face of negative cultural messaging. Self-knowledge and vulnerability build engagement with our individual humanity, and with our shared humanity. Participants are invited to shed burdensome labels by placing them on the artist’s body.
Friday 8:00 – 9:00; Saturday 6:00 – 7:00 and 8:30 – 9:30

BubbleKKAKE
Reama Bubblez
In the center of a clear dome slowly spins a statue of a woman awaiting her reward. Surrounding this statue stand four bubble machines, ready to blow sticky, white paint bubbles onto the woman from all directions. Outside the dome, viewers control the bubble machines using clicking buttons, turning them on and off at their whim. In this way, they bukkake the woman statue for hours, coating it in white bubbles and goo
Friday Open (6:00) – 10:00; Saturday Open (12:00) – 10:00
