June 7 - July 29 2012
Torsten Zenas Burns DEMOFORMANCES: YELLOW(MOBILERS)

Opening Reception: Thursday, June 7, 6 - 9 PM, part of the Dumbo First Thursday Gallery Night

Neither easy to categorize nor  to comprehend, Burns' work plumbs the recent cultural unconscious to address our anxieties of mortality and the potential for extending our Post-human life(form)s. He does this through the tropes of survivalism, re-imagined choreography, speculative fiction and collaborative relations.
