Project Description
Leopold Benches: A P(o)or(t)ch Theater is a collaborative performance-installation commissioned for Porch: An Architecture of Generosity, the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale. As artists active in the residential collective of the Poor Farm Experiment, Mark Jeffery, Kelly Kaczynski, and Judd Morrissey, created a set of performances to activate a pair of “Leopold Benches” built by Brad Killam and Michelle Grabner.
This performative intervention blends the retro technology of stereoscopic photography with live performance-based image-making that responds to work of the 20th century midwestern conservationist, Aldo Leopold, while interrogating the structures of the bench and porch as emblems of generosity and social porousness at a moment of sudden global isolationism. The project draws upon the concepts of “binocular vision”, and “binocular rivalry,” conditions in which differences in perception between the right and left eye produce either spatially enhanced 3d images or a chatter of irreconcilable views. It works with a 2-hour long score driven by a set of 12 original stereoscopic cards. The cards are interpreted by the three performers to enact durational acts of observation, environmental embodiment, “queer sitting”, and mournful arias in a poetic landscape where the roots and stems of the English and Italian languages circulate and recombine through lettristic garments made by Kristin Mariani.

Judd is an Associate Professor in the Art and Technology / Sound Practices (AT/SP) department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Kristin Mariani's practice is an ongoing conversation between art and design; acknowledging the slippery distinctions between the two disciplines, her investigations unfold in this unstable territory. Through the craft of making clothes, Kristin deploys aesthetic strategies, skill-based knowledge, and text to probe the historical, material, and labor-oriented underpinnings encapsulated in any effort to clothe a person. In her Text Toiles for Leopold Benches: A Po(o)r(t)ch Theatre, she addresses intimacy, care, language and boundaries, questioning how the production of gender is figured through fashion, place, and labor.
James Sommerfeldt is a Chicago-based footwear design innovator and Cordwainer he creates sculptural artwork for the feet. His approach examines footwear as functional designed objects, honoring purity of form and historic construction methods, forged ahead by conceptual perspective and material experimentation. Considered by many fashion experts as the Best Emerging Shoe Designer in the country, his collaborative design work has appeared at the MCA Chicago and the Guggenheim's Museum Store, with bespoke clientele throughout the USA. James is the current lecturer of footwear design at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
The Poor Farm is a not-for-profit art experiment and residency founded in 2008 at the former Waupaca County Poor Farm (built in 1876) in Little Wolf, Wisconsin.

The Tower: Drawing from Tarot in Times of Entropy
Artist and writer Lex Brown has been a private practitioner of Tarot for 20 years, providing personal readings to friends and weaving its allegories into her multimedia practice. She will give a brief talk on the formation of the Tarot, its archetypes, and how to access its rich symbology during times of instability. Interested visitors are invited to receive a personal, one-card reading.
Lex Brown is a multimedia artist who creates allegorical narratives about the Information Age. Working fluidly between installation, film, opera, painting, and sculpture, her work speaks to a spiritual experience beyond contemporary social and political structures. Brown has exhibited work at the Kennedy Center, MIT List Center, New Museum, the High Line, The Kitchen, The Baltimore Museum of Art, the Buffalo Institute of Contemporary Art, the International Center of Photography, and the Munch Museum. Her films have been presented at e-flux Screening Room, New York; Transmediale, Berlin; and the East End Film Festival, London.
Site Unscreened
Site Unscreened is a play on the phrase “sight unseen.” This interactive installation invites visitors to engage in a collective act of making — to begin a weaving or continue one left behind by another participant. It prompts reflection on how we perceive and shape landscapes without full knowledge of their pasts.
The act of weaving serves as a metaphor for the practice of landscape architecture — an ongoing negotiation between individual agency and collective inheritance. During the closing ceremony, I will work to reconcile the differences between individual weavings, bringing them together into one connected landscape that acknowledges both celebrated and erased narratives.
Tameka Baba is currently serving as an Assistant Professor of Practice and the Undergraduate Chair in Landscape Architecture at Ohio State University's Knowlton School. Her work focuses on the reclamation and transformation of underutilized or abandoned urban spaces, particularly those impacted by the decline of retail industries. She is passionate about creating spaces of commoning for underserved communities and rethinking the traditional concept of community gardens and public spaces. By incorporating traditional textile crafts such as weaving and sewing into her design process, she bridges the gap between art, public engagement, and ecological design. This approach underscores her commitment to innovative, community-driven landscape interventions prioritizing ongoing stewardship and care.
Words on Water: Venice
Akima Brackeen presents Words on Water: Venice, a participatory program and the second installment in an ongoing series that traces the deep connections between people and water. First activated in the Resource Room of the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago earlier this year, this iteration expands the communal archive by gathering new voices and reflections carried by water in Venice.
Rooted in the themes of Ritual, Memory, Place, Identity, Healing, and Joy, Words on Water: Venice invites participants to engage in a collective act of storytelling — to write, to remember, to offer their experiences in ways that embody the spirit of generosity at the heart of PORCH Fest.
Akima Brackeen is a designer, educator and researcher and director of Exhibit A. Her design practice blends architecture,digital media, and sound to investigate the social, political, and ecological dimensions of water access. This work exposes the systems of power and care and the material traces that shape perceptions and values within the built environment. Akima Brackeen is currently an Assistant Professor of Architecture at the University of Illinois,Urbana-Champaign.

What We Work For by Sheryl Oring*
Sheryl Oring returns to the U.S. Pavilion with What We Work For after an engaging performance over July 4th Weekend, where she recorded people’s reflections on the public reading of the Declaration of Independence, What Does Independence Mean to You?
Sheryl Oring examines critical social issues through projects that incorporate old and new media to tell stories, examine public opinion and foster open exchange. Using tools typically employed by journalists (the camera, the typewriter, the pen, the interview and the archive) she builds on experience in her former profession to create installations, performances, artist books and internet-based works that address themes of citizenship, free expression, first amendment rights, story-telling and activism through art.
Oring has shown her work at the O1SJ Biennial; Bryant Park in Manhattan; the Brooklyn Public Library; the Jewish Museum Berlin; and the McCormick Freedom Museum in Chicago. She has also presented work at Art in Odd Places in New York; the Art Prospect festival in St. Petersburg, Russia; Encuentro in Sao Paolo, Brazil; and the International Symposium on Electronic Art in Dubai. Oring received her MFA from the University of California at San Diego and worked as an Associate Professor of Art at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro prior to joining Wayne State University in Detroit as Professor and Chair of the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art and Art History.
She has completed public art commissions at the San Diego International Airport and at the Tampa International Airport. Collecting institutions include the Library of Congress; Museum of Modern Art; Tate Britain; Bibliothèque Nationale de Luxembourg; University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; La Jolla Athenaeum; Yale University; University of California, Irvine; and many other university libraries across the United States.

Conjure Woman
A gathering of sound, storytelling and song with Imani Uzuri
Conjure Woman explores and celebrates the archetype, iconography, and mythology of the conjure woman within African American culture, religion, and literature. Scholar Kameelah Martin writes: “A conjurer includes, but is certainly not limited to root workers, midwives, herbalists, persons born with a caul, or second sight, and others gifted with verbal or visual communication with the spirit world. The term conjure woman then, works as an umbrella term for the various forms of healing and spiritual practices with expressly African derivations.” For this intimate healing gathering, the audience will be invited to help Uzuri create a joyous communal tonal meditation as a sonic elixir for ourselves and for our world in a time of need.
About the Artist: Raised in rural North Carolina, Imani Uzuri is an award-winning vocalist, composer, experimental librettist, and improviser called “a post modernist Bessie Smith” by The Village Voice. She creates interdisciplinary works and performs at international venues and festivals. Her ritual performance was recently cited as one “with subtlety and vision” by The New York Times.
