Material Deviance in Contemporary American Culture (MDICAC) is an immersive installation, dance performance, and communal ritual. It takes a sideways look at our object based reality. Refracting stuff-centered culture back to ourselves, this dream state passes through shame, nostalgia, patriotism and the weight of inheritance. Do the objects imbued with so much of our worth start to take over and take on a life of their own? This cluttered landscape expands like a hoarder’s collection and contracts like an immigrant’s suitcase. It breathes like capitalism, filling an existential void whose appetite is endless. We uncover what is buried under the piles. We hold it in our hands. Estimated artist fee: $15,000/ performance, $22,000/week.
