Generative Texts
Writing beyond the human, together.

Never a Dull Moment on Grand Street
Artworks by Stephanie Loveless & Victoria van der Laan
Under the influence of proximity, the first visual exhibition at Kiddie Pool features two artists with very different practices who both call Grand Street home.
Stephanie Loveless a media artist and Director of the Center for Deep Listening at Rensselaer. Her work centers on sound and vocal embodiment, and has been presented globally.
Victoria van der Laan is a self-taught textile artist taking her familial heritage of quilt-making to new levels. Her innovative pay-what-you-can weekly offering on social media subverts the dominant art economy and wholly supports her work and family.
