An Artists in Residence program sprang up at our New York property in 2014 and in 2016, we sent the concept on tour with our friends at Printed Matter, Inc. "40 Years / 40 Nights" celebrates the institution’s 40th year by showcasing a new crop of 40 artists from around the world across 2016, one of whom was Marta Rodriguez Maleck. During the night of 5/15/16, Maleck and a crew of friends created "Citizens of the Cosmos".

Marta Rodriguez Maleck [cargocollective.com/mmaleck] is a performer, sculptor, painter, and installation artist. Rodriguez Maleck employs music, disguise, and sarcasm as a means to create alternate realities. Her background in education, construction, and fashion have lead her to create art that attempts to challenge past social injustices, societal gender constructs, and prescribed behaviors. With an interest to engage a variety of audiences, Marta has exhibited her work in a myriad spaces, from the Ogden Museum of Southern Art to DIY house shows and everything in between. She is currently a member of Good Children Gallery, as well as the Aquarium Gallery, both based in New Orleans, LA.

Printed Matter presents COLAB TALKS, a group conversation with Colab:

An open inclusive format where all attending Colab Members have a chance to say whatever they want. The only restriction is time.

Two chairs, two mics, two minutes. One person speaks at a time.

COLAB TALKS is presented on occasion of the A More Store, on view at Printed Matter through May 14.
