November 7th, Autre Magazine took over the Stone Island flagship in Manhattan to celebrate our FW24 โCITIZENโ Issue and a 166-page supplement by @sicknethi generously supported by the cult luxury outerwear brand. Sethi signed copies and two large lightboxes of the covers greeted guests at the door.
โSometimes performing, leaking always, togetherโ reads the subheading of Bobbi Salvรถr Menuezโs 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 theodorโs gnaw installation, brought towels for โslime hourโ in the โsplash zone,โ were offered beverages and a place to communally shower in the bathroom before engaging in some dry, quiet play in the โsoft zone,โ and documented themselves while traveling through the โliminal zone.โ 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 Iโm Big, Youโre 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.
