I'll Raise You One...

Using the conflicting languages of teenage love and small stakes capitalism, I’ll Raise You One… is a continuous strip poker game performed in the public realm. Zefrey Throwell’s performance brings audiences to the threshold of titillation again and again. At the end of each round, when the participants typically exit and private affairs begin, playing members will get dressed and begin again, creating a nonsensical repetitive pattern that continues round after round. Transforming Art in General’s Storefront space into a stage, I’ll Raise You One… establishes a world of absurdity and purposelessness, letting the casual onlooker join in a guilt-free voyeurism, while teasing out a different outlook on our personal interactions and day to day routines.
