Three AsFOUR have a piece in the new SuperHero exhibition at the Met museum which was unvieled this week.

The catacombs of The Sculpture Center were taken over by the work of "Director of Behaviour" Michael Portnoy. Sculptures and performances which felt a little like a casino from another planet, where the currency is strictly "Squirrel Dollars" and participation was encouraged or you were evacuated under order.
