Activation of Interactive Performance – September 6, 2026 through January 10, 2027

Misty Choi‘s ongoing project CuppyBreak (2023–ongoing) consists of broken, misshapen, or dysfunctional cups activated through interactive performance. By serving drinks in unstable vessels designed to spill, fail, or interrupt habitual use, Choi invites participants to navigate discomfort, adaptation, and relational tension. During the residency, she will be using the GCAC Project Gallery as an open studio to develop a new series of cups informed by adaptive bodies, psychological relationships, and unstable spatial systems, culminating in a participatory café project in collaboration with Artists Village Café and a conceptual installation at the Grand Central Art Center.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Misty Choi (b. 1993, Seoul) explores disorientation, adaptation, and the unstable relationship between bodies and the environments they inhabit. Through performative sculpture, installation, and social practice, she transforms everyday systems and gestures into unfamiliar encounters that destabilize normative ways of moving, behaving, and relating to space.
