In February 2013, I began working closely with Jill McDermid, director and co-founder of Grace Exhibition Space, to organize their first benefit event. During the benefit we also introduced GES reMembership option. All very exciting additions to the ambitious programming already instituted by Jill. I edited the teaser video for the event and Keller created the epic score. | |

In May 2013, I began preparing the design media, marketing and PR needed for Grace Exhibition Space's exciting programming for the first annual Brooklyn International Performance Art Festival (BIPAF).

Guillermo Gomez Pena, Ron Athey, VestAndPage, W Christiawan and Rocio Boliver were among a few of the performers throughout the month. |
