The Bureau will celebrate the beginning of our stay at Cage with readings by Annie Lanzillotto and Zee Whitesides and a musical performance by Brett Every!

Cage will host the Bureau for the months of September and October. Cage is a space for dialogue, mutual support and production located on the Lower East Side of New York, which involves changing membership in ongoing response to material conditions. Cage is located at 83A Hester St., between Orchard and Allen–around the corner from Strange Loop Gallery.
