New works on paper with accompanying performance piece by Jeffrey Burdian.

Burdian’s works on paper will be on view at the Bureau from 9/10-9/20.

The performance will take place on Friday, 9/19: reception at 7, performance at 7:30.

Read~Act is a cooperative performance piece by Jeffrey Burdian. Jeffrey will be laying naked and face down while visitors are urged to sit on him and read portions of books they bring or that are provided. This new and important piece will rattle your guts and most likely change your outlook on life as you know it. While the participant is reading aloud Jeffrey will react to both what is being read as well as the reader. Expectation of profound snippets of wisdom is appropriate. Each reader will have approximately 5 min to read depending on the vibe.

Please bring your books:)
