Synopsis

Nate, a performance artist, gets a coveted show in Manhattan, but when he begins his provocative piece, the city shuts down for COVID-19. Unswayed, he continues his performance for an audience of none—until tensions flare outside and the gallery hires private security to watch over him and his art.

Our take

As pandemic-panic raged on the streets of NYC, punk jester Michael M. Bilandic teamed up with DP Sean Price Williams for a guerilla-style dig at art world pretension and bunker mentality. Anarchically staged and endlessly quotable, Project Space 13 takes a cattle prod to our contemporary condition.
