The Invisible Dog is thrilled to announce Thank You For Ur Service, 2Fik’s fourth solo exhibition at The Invisible Dog Art Center.
This multidisciplinary series (visual art, video and installation) stems from a traumatizing experience during a performance in 2021. 2Fik questions his relationship with his characters, 100 of them that he developed since the beginning of his career. After 20 years of practice as the photographer, the model and the creator of all his works, these questions awakened a deep sense of grief.

As apart of the Collective Threads exhibition and programming, The Invisible Dog is thrilled to welcome Kate Phillips as she leads an embroidery workshop.
Embroidery is an ancient craft, yet the act of using thread to adorn and transform a surface remains timeless. Throughout history, people have employed thread to convey images and words—whether in the form of monograms, labels, diary or signage. Embroidery can serve as a means of identity, storytelling, or even as an act of resistance. In this workshop, we will explore how this craft and its typographic potential can bring us together to experiment with texture and text.

An expression of pure 80s id, David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross geysers up craven capitalism, deranged method acting, and American maleness at its most revolting. But has its moment truly passed? Actors will read, Lucien will cook, guests will eat, and we will discuss this great play and its terrible politics.
