As the good, clean rain falls on this otherwise inglorious day—has the town ever looked more dour? has there ever been such a superabundance of long faces?—we interrupt the current ellipsis with a grab at some extremely low-lying fruit. In an email plugging an arriving show, the Storefront for Art & Architecture has finally joined the Watch™.

The project FASCIA unfolds as a series of live performances, video recordings and drawings, that engage in a visual dialogue with Steven Holl's and Vito Acconci's renowned design of the Storefront for Art and Architecture facade. Like Acconci and Holl, she challenges the traditional notion of facade as constituting a membrane that simultaneously separates and erotically joins the inside with the outside. FASCIA departs from the definition of the membrane-wall as both a marker and an embodiment of space.

Not exceptionally stupid, we know. That's why we weep.
