Recent McKnight Fellowship recipient Megan Mayer will perform material from rejected grant applications; Holo Lue Choy offers a work about trauma and manipulation, and sculptor and performance-based artist Jordan Rosenow explores precocity and intimacy through the relationship between bodies and construction objects.
