2boys.tv & Alexis O'Hara perform TESSERACT, a hybrid performance/installation/concert which takes its inspiration from the Planetarium, inviting us us to contemplate the birth and death of what we call the “universe”. The brainchild of Montreal art duo 2boys.tv (Stephen Lawson and Aaron Pollard) and close collaborator artist Alexis O'Hara, this performance considers the possibility of other dimensions.

Join us for our First Friday Afterparty after all the art shows in The Exchange wrap up!
This free event offers a welcoming, safe space for all communities to gather and celebrate art, drink, and dance. It will evolve into a dance party, with music this month by the talented BABA YAGA.
Five of the sixteen members of The Daughters of Reykjavík (Reykjavíkurdætur) the all-female rap crew, will be in attendance creating a unique, one-night immersive installation that combines sculpture and video.
Visitors will enter into a transformed diner. The daughters will be creating a shrine filled with memorabilia, symbolism, and quotes dedicated to their absent collective members throughout the night.
The video piece will be mostly produced in Iceland beforehand, allowing all members to participate in this overseas project.
