OPEN LAB: Group Therapy Jam Band with Kyle b. co.

This fall, 2025 Artist-in-Residence Kyle b. co. is workshopping sessions of their project, which thinks through how one might address race as an embodied sense or an anxiety disorder, outside of the 1-on-1 structure of Treatment 1 (CRT T1). Group Therapy Jam Band sessions will take place with a guest musician or sound maker and host 3-5 participants who will build a sample pack together. Sign up together or join up with a stranger. Kyle b. co. is interested in how the inquiries and personal reflections that emerge from the sessions feed connection. The accompanying musicians will incorporate biofeedback into the process using contact microphones, radio signals and other approaches.

Group Therapy Jam Band will consist of two 2-hour sessions with 3-5 participants at 12PM and 3PM on the following Sundays:

Sun, October 12
Sun, October 19
Sun, November 9
Sun, November 30

With limited group sessions available, we kindly ask that you honor your reserved time. If you are not able to make it to a session, please cancel your reservation through Eventbrite or let us know ASAP at so that we can reopen the slot to another participant.


ABOUT THE ARTIST

Kyle b. co. is a trans-disciplinary artist, performer, educator, and baker based in Brooklyn, NY. They are a 2024-25 Franklin Furnace Fund recipient, a 2023 Smack Mellon Hot Pick, and were short-listed for the 2025 Creative Capital award in visual arts. They have received a RISCA Merit Fellowship in 3-D Arts and a Providence Arts, Culture, and Tourism Public Art Fellowship. Their work has found kinship at Hera Gallery, RISD Museum, Buoy Gallery, Zimmerli Museum of Art, Westbeth Gallery, Lucas, Lucas, and Grace Exhibition Space, among other spaces. Their practice engages with the task of mapping the present as a method of document and engagement with form. They work with materials of culture and personal history to make monuments of possibility. The matrices that hold an image may not be visible ‘til named. Their practice is one of futurity as they seek what can be sensed, not what is known. In various ways, they try to grasp at the transmission/translation of a feeling. Feeling(s) as a concept is unclear in its relationship to time. When did the feeling begin? Has the feeling ever stopped? Will you have this feeling again in the future? Their work spans both objects/installation and performance, the distinction between mediums not being that important. Their work is about feeling (&) connection(s).
