Background info
The Living Installation is an 20 year running established not for profit museum and gallery performance. The concept behind holding the shows at Michael Alan’s private studio is to break the void between the artist and viewer. It brings people in a behind the scenes private process. people are usually pushed back out contemporary art in 2019. The studio shows play on the notion of privacy, space, and the climate of art now.From the studio of Michael Alan, visionary native NY artist born 77′. World renowned, highly collected, NYC’s wild child. His work has been exhibited in major museum shows (MET, New Museum, Sprit Museum), over 15 solo exhibitions, in over 400 museum articles, Art Walk, Village Voice Best in Show, The New York Times video, Brooklyn museum permanent collection, and at AFA Gallery duo exhibition with Dali. He has made music with Tommy Ramone, The Residents, Ramsey Jones, Tim “Love” Lee, Kenny Scharf, Japanther, The Krays, Geneva Jachuzzi, and Jello Biafra.
The Living Installation is a live expressive surreal mediative experience, a living movie acted out.

Come to Bushwick, Brooklyn for an authentic, intimate view of an old NYC happening at Michael Alan’s private studio.
Artist couple, Michael Alan and Jadda Cat constantly morph materials, light, color, sound, and costume with their bodies mind and spirit to create ever-changing living sculpture. Michael Alan’s art comes to life! Jadda Cat’s energy transcends throughout eternity!
The Living Installation is a refreshening low-fi look into the essence of creation. It is a behind the scenes presentation of art rather than a gallery setting. The evening consists of wacky performance, body art, video projection, live music, and punk sounds, with comedic satirical elements, endless inspiration, and so much more. Over one hundred works of Michael Alan are on display.
This ongoing living art human project, has been going strong for close to 20 years in NYC, founded by Bushwick-born Michael Alan. He has been creating live shows in NYC since the 90s. He believes in preserving the raw essence of old New York.
