Info:
J. Morrison proposes an escape from city life, and asks the question is "New York a prison?" Desiring to create a retreat from the norm, the artist invites your presence to accompany him on a new exploration. Continuing thematically with his recent performances of "Escape From New York" and "Escape From Houston", the piece pays homage to the likes of Sleep No More, David Lynch's the Black Lodge, and John Carpenter's film of the same name. Theatrical, provocative, and mysterious, the artist creates a new interactive, site-specific storyline for his journey into a new dimension.
