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.
