Your Shopping Cart Is Not Empty
A day-long performance by Miao Jiaxin
Presented at The Casual Art Fair, October 2, 2016
Sorry Archive foregrounds a new project by Miao Jiaxin, unlicensed massage therapist, Airbnb jailer, and infamous Chinese businessman. At the Casual Art Fair, Sorry Archive offered a printed menu of the food, drinks, clothing, and other necessities available within a 30-minute bike ride of the fair at Chinatown's Seward Park. All of these items were available for purchase at-cost, and Jiaxin procured and transported them for free and on demand.
Bloomsday
An annual celebration of James Joyce's Ulysses every June 16, the single day over which the novel takes place. Its 18 episodes correspond to Homer's Odyssey.
Presented at Knockdown Center, June 16, 2015
Sorry Archive's installation reflects Episode Five, "The Lotus Eaters," a chapter full of heady fragrances, looping introspection, and veiled inaction. The letters INRI form "Iron Nails Ran In," Bloom's personal mnemonic for the words inscribed on Christ's cross by Pontius Pilate.
Maze Workshop at NO SCHOOL
Sorry Archive guided students as they imagined, created, and drew complex mazes as part of NO SCHOOL, a summer program for children in the Far Rockaways presented by Arts in Parts and led by Frank Traynor of the perfect nothing catalog.
The mazes had one entrance and one exit, and their pathways were winding and deceptive. The class published The Amazing Maze Zine, a set of 15 maze workbooks that can be copied and completed time and time again.
