Description

EAI is pleased to offer access to an online showcase featuring EAI's 2025 collaboration with haul gallery.

EAI invited Brooklyn-based haul gallery (run by artists Erin Davis and Max C. Lee) to transform its office into a multidisciplinary site of performance, video, and art installation, highlighting the Raised-in-Brooklyn studio residency (RIB). Davis and Lee selected artists to show alongside videos from the EAI collection by Ilana Harris-Babou, Shelly Silver, and Martha Rosler, all born and raised in Brooklyn. This showcase includes a vibrant, multimedia selection of artworks by haul-affiliated artists including documentation of a performance by Shirt, a one-act play by Tess Walsh, and a multimedia artwork by Max Velez originally installed in EAI's office, alongside videos by Charlie Perez-Tlatenchi and Juliana Roccoforte-Novello. This program continued EAI’s ongoing public series inviting artists to convert our office into a performance environment, previously undertaken by Maggie Lee and Kristin Lucas. EAI and haul's event not only formed out of the participants' shared place of origin, but also centered how artists push against the increasingly hostile forces of gentrification and homogenization that Brooklyn faces.
