“Jaimie Warren: THE MIRACLE” is the artist’s first institutional solo show in New York and features daily activations and culminates in an over-the-top, collaborative musical production. Resembling a high school musical backdrop, a vintage Disney ride, or the campy gore of a community-built haunted house, the exhibition is a DIY, oversized supernatural set made up of animatronics, costumes, and special effects. Taken together, THE MIRACLE engages the capacity of popular entertainment to bring people together around shared cultural touchstones, producing a show defined by both strangeness and joy.
*Note that institutions may be temporarily closed to lessen the impact of COVID-19.
