7.10 ‘Merikan Merkintile

P/H/A/O/N III will occur Friday, July 10th at 7pm featuring ‘MERIKAN MERKINTILE, the touring

collaboration of Leslie Rogers and Nelly Kate. The performance will take place on the jetty behind

the building, spilling out from Rogers’ minivan. Taking the form of a rogue variety show, the

performance differs from site to site and may include shiny flags, awkward situations with police,

music, spaghetti, cheese puffs, and questionable nudity.

Sunset Park, Brooklyn

Leslie Rogers (Detroit—sculpture/video/performance) draws from puppetry, slapstick

entertainment, gender tropes, and the fiber arts to disregard or erase perceived hierarchies

between performer and object, as well as amongst art forms and social groups.

Nelly Kate (Richmond—sound/print/intervention) interrogates notions of public and private space as well as issues of urban reclamation through a constellation of participatory performance, and site-specific installations of video and sound.
