Multimedia artist and performer Narcissister takes over KAJE's ground-level gallery throughout March to develop the mechanics of a new work in progress. This material is Narcissister's first experiment in the lead up to a large scale commission by Pioneer Works, to be performed in the Fall of 2024.

KAJE’s support for the project stresses the precarious value of true experimentation—wielding advancing intention through error, incongruence through unpredictability, generative action through the suspension of failure. Final results of the project will be revealed to the public as an installation with video documentation of various performative acts, on view March 30th & 31st, 12—6pm.

She was nominated for the ANTI Festival Live Art Prize in 2021 and is currently preparing for a 2024 performance commission at Pioneer Works in New York.
