Event Details

“Self-Brainwashing” Wild Immersive Foam Art Experience (Jan. 17 – Feb. 8)

Minnesota Street Project Foundation and re.riddle  present the U.S. debut of Self-Brainwashing, an immersive performance piece by acclaimed artist Michail Michailov. Performances run Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays beginning January 17, 2025 through February 8, 2025.

In this groundbreaking performance in a raw warehouse, participants are invited to wear white protective suits as they become gradually enveloped in ethereal, white foam. The experience creates a compelling duality of sensation—simultaneously delightful and disorienting—as participants find their senses both awakened and challenged by the surrounding foam environment. The performance artfully disrupts visual and physical delineations of space, body, and structure, inviting participants to reconsider their relationship with reality, artifice, illusion, and truth in contemporary culture.
