Mobius Artist Event: Lani Asunción “Rooted Waves”
Rooted Waves follows the threads of Lani Asunción’s and Feda Eid’s work exploring identity in relationship to nature, place, geographies, and landscapes. Together these facets overlap into a surge of bold expression of self, history, community, and envisioned future.
Mobius Artist Event: Lani Asunción “Duty Free Paradise”
Duty-Free Paradise (DFP) (2020-23) plays on the tensions between lived and imagined Hawai’i. Through the lens of tourism, around which the Islands’ economy heavily circulates, this work explores the contradictions between perceptions and realities of island life as a paradise constructed through American pop culture, underwritten by militarism and biopolitics.
Mobius Artist Event: Hey There Kapplow “Deathbed Dreams”
American artist Hey There Kapplow hosts an experimental workshop experience investigating the shape of the uncomfortable gap between how we feel ourselves being internally, and how our external environments and communities shape, categorize and articulate us.
The process will involve reflecting together on our own eventual deaths and the difficulty that memorial rituals pose for capturing the nuance of being and then ceasing to be. We will also stay aware of our historical context, thinking together about exactly what it means for every human life to matter—to have value.
Mobius Artist Event: Kledia Spiro “Drawing in Air”
Kledia Spiro’s solo exhibition, Drawing in Air, delves into the fascinating interplay of weight, legacy, and the human experience. Over the last decade, Spiro has embarked on a quest to understand the meaning of "weight" in people's lives.

Mobius Artist Event Jeff Huckleberry in Choosing to Portage
Choosing to Portage brings together five artists who operate with deep reverence for the embodied knowledge that is passed down through skilled making processes and culturally specific materials. From distinctly different cultural backgrounds, these five artists’ work manifest quite diversely in the gallery: from illustrations that represent family to live task-based performance, from photography of ephemeral monuments to material translations of pre-existing objects, to poetic documentation and sculptural records of socially engaged projects, and more.
Evaporate Live Art Festival
Boston’s Mobius Artist Group presents Evaporate, a weekend’s worth of live art programming over the first weekend of November.
Evaporate takes advantage of the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum’s unique setting and the special sensitivity of artists who work in ephemeral ways, and whose practices are deeply informed by watery surroundings, featuring artists from Performance Art Bergen in Norway and from Boston’s own Mobius Artist Group.
Mobius Artist Event: Hey There Kapplow “De-Scriptions”
In response to traversing Björkö Konstnod’s landscape on foot, Kapplow will create “descriptions” of the internal and external discoveries made while walking by intertwining sound recordings, objects gathered on the journey, and writing into experimental texts that can only be fully “read” by engaging the hands, the ears, the whole body…
Mobius Artist Event: Tom Mackie BLOWWloween!

Mobius Artist Event: EL Putnam Rituals for Circuits
EL Putnam Rituals for Circuits
Rituals for Circuits is a new live performance work by artist-philosopher EL Putnam. Rather than treating technology and nature in opposition to each other, this performance treats them as existing as interconnected, ongoing relations of dynamic change and influence.
Incorporating projected video, electronics, and performed gestures, Rituals for Circuits focuses on embodied actions in the fluctuating connections between humans, technology, and the environment. This performance emerges from ongoing research in collaboration with author Mike McCormack and is inspired by the paintings of Dave Madigan.
