βSometimes performing, leaking always, togetherβ reads the subheading of Bobbi SalvΓΆr Menuezβs SPLAT, a sensory play party at Performance Space New York, where the multidisciplinary artist also gave a private performance. Guests had their tongues painted by Early Shinada in quori theodorβs gnaw installation, brought towels for βslime hourβ in the βsplash zone,β were offered beverages and a place to communally shower in the bathroom before engaging in some dry, quiet play in the βsoft zone,β and documented themselves while traveling through the βliminal zone.β All guests had stickers placed over their phone cameras, so the only documentation of the night came from within an interactive, live-feed macrophilic installation resembling a giant mouth titled Iβm Big, Youβre Small. All attendees were asked to take rapid Covid tests before attending and encouraged to engage in consensual cruising and play. A house manager could be found on site to support in all ways necessary and voyeurs were received with a warm welcome.
