Riven Ratanavanh
Ornamentalism II
Durational performance. Ornamentalism II considers porcelain and ornamentation as a metaphor for Asian (American) experiences of un-embodiment and objectification, meditating on invisible wounds to reclaim ornament as weaponry.
Friday 7/18 - 6:30-8 pm

Anjuli Rathod, Randi Shandroski, Florencia Escudero and Emiri Fujimoto. 
SPAM SPA is the name of an instagram group focused on sharing images of clothes. Members in this group are Anjuli Rathod, Randi Shandroski, Florencia Escudero and Emiri Fujimoto. 

Inspired by TikTok content farms in China, this 10 minute performance is a chaotic meditation on the history of women who work in sales and perform this for hours on camera. From qvc to its current live stream manifestations, there is endless hours of footage of actors speaking to a mass unknown audience.  
Saturday, 7/19 - 4:00-4:15pm

Chanel Matsunami Govreau
Separate the Spine from the Body is a performance and soft sculptural activation confronting the devaluation of bodies in pain—chronically ill bodies, and bodies that resist legibility within systems of labor and productivity.  Inspired by sci-fi horror and daily rituals for survival, the artist channels a monstrous embodiment of invisible discomfort, contrasted with the ecstasy of contained violence and surrender.
Saturday, 7/20, 2:00-3:00pm

Anh Vo
Untitled: Breakfast, Vo revisits an early performance in which they danced naked over a boiling pot of Pho broth. This iteration will be accompanied by live drumming from Isaac Silber.

Camilla Carper
By the Pound featuring Laurel Atwell 
A sequel to a fashion show that hasn’t happened yet. Set near the end of the fashion cycle—where clothes go to be resurrected at the Goodwill Outlet, aka “The Bins”—this performance unfolds in a post-post-fashion landscape. Deranged influencers interview grailed boys and Depop girlies, probing how units of measurement are used to package human reality. By the Pound uses the attention economy to convert physical mass—pounds, grams, ounces—into time-based metrics: seconds, hover time, follows. Through the gravitational pull of spectacle and the density of discarded matter, the piece recalibrates the audience into an embodied present.

An Hà
Chè Thái takes the form of a makeshift dessert stall serving chè thái, a sweet and colorful Vietnamese dessert made with tropical fruit, jellies, and coconut milk. Here, the act of serving dessert becomes a medium of hospitality and cultural memory. In Chè Thái, Hà blurs the boundaries between art installation, street life, and communal performance. It is a gesture of generosity, a celebration of the Vietnamese diaspora, and a tender homage to the everyday poetry found in the streets of Vietnam and its echoes across the world. As the activation aligns with the closing reception, karaoke may become an integral part of the work, a celebratory gesture marking the closing of Warehouse Market. Rather than simply grabbing dessert and moving on, participants are invited to linger, sing, create new connections with one another. Karaoke enhances the communal rhythm of Chè Thái, transforming it into a dynamic space where voices overlap and the boundaries between artwork and audience dissolve even further.

Upstream Collective
Source Matters is an installation activating the gap between storage boxes, overlaying video projections of our making process onto hanging garments. Emerging from our publishing collective's inquiry into the theme of "source," we embrace nonlinear and polyvocal authorship, improvisation, and the textured traces of shared production.

Upstream is a Philly-based publishing and curatorial collective interested in tending to all our relations. This installation was created by Upstream members Maya Björnson, Mel Bleecker, Teri Ke, Noa Mori Machover, and Alec Tobin.

Thuy T. Nguyen (Infinithuy Studio)
Soft Archives
A triptych of silkscreened textile prints that explores body intimacy through abstracted gestures and layered gradients. In conversation with the Market’s emphasis on fashion and textiles as storytelling tools, Soft Archives offers a contemplative exploration of how memory can be held in form, texture, and visual rhythm.
Ongoing throughout 7/18-7/20

Farah Al Qasimi 
Everybody was Invited to a Party, 2018 pulls inspiration from the 1980s Arabic version of Sesame Street (Iftah Ya Simsim), using puppets to present language and letters as malleable objects without fixed meaning. The video seeks moments where failure to communicate creates a new opportunity.
Ongoing throughout 7/18-7/20

Harun Farocki and Antje Ehmann
Labour in a Single Shot is a project that we – Antje Ehmann and Harun Farocki – started in 2011. We have initiated video production workshops in 15 cities worldwide. From February 2013 on we are also setting up a series of exhibitions that will show selected workshop results in a larger context.

Constraints
The task of the workshops is to produce videos of 1 to 2 minutes in length, each taken in a single shot. The camera can be static, panning or travelling – only cuts are not allowed.

Labour
The subject of investigation is ‘labour’: paid and unpaid, material and immaterial, rich in tradition or altogether new. In some African countries an entire family lives from cultivating a tiny strip of land next to the highway. In many European countries farmers survive by leaving their soil uncultivated and being paid for it, an arrangement monitored by satellites.

Camera Work
The task as set leads straight to basic questions of cinematographic form and raises essential questions about the filmmaking process itself. Almost every form of labour is repetitive. How can one find a beginning and an end when capturing it? Should the camera be still or moving? How to film the choreography of a workflow in one single shot in the best and most interesting way? Yet the workshop results show that a single shot of 1 or 2 minutes can already create a narrative, suspense or surprise. And this is precisely what we love about many of the workshop videos.

The Web Catalogue
The web catalogue is an archive that includes all the completed videos from all the workshops. It is not a selection of our favourite videos, but a documentation of everything that was produced.

To Open One's Eyes
Labour in a Single Shot aims to respond to and grapple with the specific characteristics of each of the project's 15 workshop cities and regions. In each city we see all kinds of labour going on every day: cobblers, cooks, waiters, window cleaners, nurses, tattoo-artists or garbage workers. But most of the work activities happen behind closed doors. Often labour is not only invisible but also unimaginable. Therefore it is vital to undertake research, to open one’s eyes and to set oneself into motion. Where can we see which kinds of labour? What is hidden? What happens in the centre of a city, what occurs at the periphery? What is characteristic and what is unusual with regard to each city? What kinds of labour processes set interesting cinematographic challenges?

To Use Video as if it were Film
We draw on the method of the earliest films, made at the end of the 19th century (such as the Lumière brothers’ Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory and Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat) in order to regain something of their decisiveness. These early films, made in a single continuous shot, declared that every detail of the moving world is worth considering and capturing. They were forced by the immobile camera to have a fixed point of view whereas the documentary films of today often tend to indecisive cascades of shots.

The single-shot film, in contrast, combines predetermination and openness, concept and contingency.

Workers Leaving their Workplaces in 15 Cities
The project also involves the production, in each workshop city, of contemporary remakes of the Lumières' film Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory. What kinds of workers do we still see leaving their workplaces, and where?

Sunnie Liu
TITHE
The tills that usually hold cash in cash registers have been removed and re-purposed as materials for an altar to the American Dream, a religious force that draws migrants across oceans and borders with blind faith in the myth of meritocracy and in the uniquely American flavor of capitalism rooted in the Protestant ethic. Max Weber writes about the origins of American capitalism in Christianity, and Rey Chow expands upon his work to explore how cross-ethnic cultural transactions are inevitable in late-stage capitalism.

This activated installation invites audiences to leave written offerings on the golden trays for the altar. The prompt would be: what have you sacrificed — physically, emotionally, and spiritually — for the American Dream?

Diane Severin Nguyen
Spring Snow/Spring Clothes
6:18 min., Two-channel HD Video with Sound
The work of artist Diane Severin Nguyen draws parallels between her art and the psychological warfare employed during the Vietnam War, particularly through the figure of Hanoi Hannah, a broadcaster who addressed US soldiers to evoke sympathy and discourage their efforts. Nguyen’s Spring Snow blends themes of silence, conflict, and haunting beauty, using imagery that evokes both familiarity and discomfort. The artist’s still lives, often featuring objects associated with femininity and domesticity, resist simple identification and are imbued with both visual allure and unease. (text: phmuseum)

Lubnah Ansari
Scales
The silver-gray shimmer and darting motion of the 400-million-year-old silverfish, nestled in cracks and crevices. Feeding on paper, cardboard, fabrics — tearing holes in what is woven to hold. Their composting logics quietly persist, unsettling the mechanisms of neoliberal order.

Lubnah is an artist, researcher, and community organizer. They come to the unceded homelands of the Munsee and Muhheaconneok people, by way of South Asia. Lubnah’s curiosities orbit around communal intimacies, silences, image making and postactivism.

Sariyah Abuzant
FordDat is a docufiction film that explores the role of an unofficial taxi vehicle vital to mobility in occupied Palestine, using the cases of Abu Dis and Al-Eizariya, two towns located in Area C of the West Bank. Manufactured by Ford Motor Company, this US vehicle has unintentionally functioned as the connective tissue of a fragmented landscape, navigating an apartheid system reinforced by the Oslo Accords. Operating illegally for over thirty years, the Ford Transit has not only sustained movement but also emerged as a tool of cultural sovereignty, community-structured infrastructure, and self-governance. A time capsule of Oslo’s failures, this vehicle offers a lens into the lived realities of Palestinian daily resistance and the unyielding struggle for the right to move.

Felisa Nguyen & Ching-Wei Wang (Way)
Dragons*
An ongoing series; Way and Nguyen engage with different markets—New York chinatowns, Buddhist temples, eBay—collecting statues of Chinese mythological creatures, specifically *not dragons. In varying installations, the artists impose a small gesture onto each pair, stripping them of inherited roles of pride and power, and instead allow them to adopt stances of play, shame, or surveillance.

floaters(between 2 times 2)
Embroidery thread, epoxy resin, bleached clothings
Dimension variable

Horizontal threads are stretched taut between four discrete points, each fixed, and forming a delicate grid of intersecting lines that support small resin spheres made from bleached, shredded fragments of my own clothing. If disturbed, the spheres fall to the ground, highlighting the tension between stability and disruption.
