He worked on the City’s first Sludge (polite term) Management Plan and is intimately familiar with sewer overflows.

OVERFLOW : Musical Guest, SNARK
THURSDAY, JULY 25th | 7:00-8:00PM
Special musical guest, Snark, will perform aquatic music with saxophone and electronics, as part of Overflow, a 21 Skowhegan Alumni Show inquiring into how we relate to the waterways that support contemporary city life.
Location: Gallery 198
Bio:
Snark is a musician and visual artist who uses the tenor saxophone as a gateway to deep and untethered experiments in electronic manipulation, repetition, drone, and emotional frenzy. His catalogue of recordings tracks intimate partnerships with fellow adventure-seeking musicians, and takes shape in spacious long-form compositions and spontaneous improvisation. Inspired by rāga, ceremonial icaros, new age warmth and chthonic dissonance, the music aims to bring lessons from the Other Side.

FAGGOT BAGGAGE
SATURDAY, AUGUST 8TH, 6:00 - 9:00PM
An Exhibition + Performance by Ryan Bauer-Walsh
Ryan Bauer-Walsh airs their dirty laundry in an intimate act of exposure in FAGGOT BAGGAGE, a solo exhibition and live performance exploring trauma, grief, substance experimentation, survival, and release. The show features over 30 new paintings, each work functioning as both artifact and confession—revealed theatrically as part of an immersive performance experience.
Blurring the line between exhibition and performance art, FAGGOT BAGGAGE invites audiences into a deeply autobiographical body of work centered on loss, acceptance, and the unexpected joy that can emerge from letting go.
This event is presented by Gallery 198 in Brooklyn in conjunction with a two-week solo exhibition.
Doors open at 6:00pm; performance begins at 7:00pm and will run approximately 45 minutes. The August 8 opening performance will be followed by a birthday celebration for the artist, beginning at 9:00 PM. All are welcome.
