poolboy: The Visitors

poolboy is making a show about submissiveness and friendship. What happens is entirely in your control. The show is a weeklong discussion between two friends, between you and poolboy, between control and the object. Your computer is whitehot in your lap. Write your desire down on a notecard and watch it create reality.

performances: March 17-18 8:00pm-10:00pm 

performance, installation, vibes, tunes, IRL chaos

poolboy: The Visitors is a weeklong residency that invites viewers to become the raw material for an immersive IRL performance and party. poolboy00 is artist Sam Mayer’s online alter ego and the subject of poolboy00 (2020-present): an ongoing, durational reality show/interactive memoir/talk show for the streaming platform Twitch. In The Visitors, poolboy engages in a series of ever-escalating interactions with collaborators, spectators, and technology at daily open studios. At the end of the week poolboy00 and momgrab (artist Julia Mounsey) will perform and host a big party at 614 Gravier. poolboy: The Visitors is part installation, part interactive performance, and all vibes.
