SECRET MALL APARTMENT

NYC PREMIERE Having lost their studio loft spaces to corporate developers of the Providence Place Mall, a group of Rhode Island artists plot revenge by inhabiting a secret, unused space inside the mall’s design. Over the next four years, the project grew in significance as the artists created a combination of living space, studio, art installation, and a communal center—and recorded their work on video. Jeremy Workman’s latest joint is a madcap rollercoaster  of wonder, and one of 2024’s most memorable rides. – Jaie Laplante
