Gnome Core - Feb 11th, 2pm at the Picnic Meadows behind “FDR Community Clubhouse”

Evicted from the Meadows at FDR
Alex Tatarsky is garden gnome par excellence – a disgruntled forest creature who’s been evicted from their magic land due to recent and imminent clearcutting at FDR Park. This funny, musical and politically awake creature will NOT be leaving the Meadows quietly. Read more.

The Artist

Alex Tatarsky (they/them) is an award-winning experimental performance artist. Called “a hilarious, finely tuned absurdist” (Theatre Jones) and “one of the most exciting and hilarious performance artists around” (Artspace), Tatarsky makes work in the unfortunate in-between zone of comedy, performance art, dance, theater, and deluded rant – sometimes with songs. They return to Philly from NYC after a hit run of Sad Boy in Harpy Land, which the NY Times heralded as “a thrilling and frenetic mental breakdown of a show!” They have performed in venues such as La Mama, MoMA PS1, The Kitchen, Judson Church, Abrons Arts Center, Skirball, Gibney, New Museum, and with artists such as Pig Iron, Aya Ogawa, Poncili Creacion, Trajal Harrell, Lilac Co, Zhe Zhe, David Levine, Marianna Ellenberg, Adrienne Truscott, Josephine Decker, and Eva Steinmetz.
