L'ESCALIER

If It Bleeds can't— or won't— tell the difference between real fighting and fake fighting. Good actor or bad liar? Showman or sportsman? Bleeding, sweating, flopping, maybe crying, denying and/or testifying, winning or learning, faking, praying—give me some bluff with that— it’s just another body ripening in the spotlight, sustained by the fiction that everything happens ‘for a reason.’ Perfect? No. Undefeated? Yes! .

L’escalier is pleased to present (excerpts from) Isabelle Pauwels’ video “If it Bleeds” 2018, as part of this years Bruno Sports Bar Biennale on April 26th 9pm-3am!! More info to come! 🤼‍♀️🤼‍♂️

Thoughtful review of Vikky Alexander's show by James D. Campbell!

Vikky Alexander “Unnatural Horizon” L’Escalier The thematic integrity of Vikky Alexander’s art is always preserved, even when she pole vaults tenses with her trademark alacrity and calisthenic finesse.
