Pieces have been performed, installed and exhibited internationally at art galleries, museums, concert halls, public parks, city streets, tiny closets, boats, the New York City subways, and the internet. New York venues include White Box, The Kitchen, LMAKProjects, Roulette, The Museum of Contextual Amputations (online), The Stone, and many outdoor locations.
