SPLAT: A Sensory Play Party & Performance By Bobbi Salvรถr Menuez @ Performance Space New York

โ€œSometimes performing, leaking always, togetherโ€ reads the subheading of Bobbi Salvรถr Menuezโ€™s 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 theodorโ€™s gnaw installation, brought towels for โ€œslime hourโ€ in the โ€œsplash zone,โ€ were offered beverages and a place to communally shower in the bathroom before engaging in some dry, quiet play in the โ€œsoft zone,โ€ and documented themselves while traveling through the โ€œliminal 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 Iโ€™m Big, Youโ€™re 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.
