The Kitchen presents a multimedia project from Charles Atlas, continuing the institution's nearly 45-year relationship with the video art pioneer. In The Kitchen's gallery, two new video installations take a retrospective look at Atlas' work while offering a counterpoint to his interactive 2003 show Instant Fame! and its portraits of downtown figures (March 28-May 12).

The Kitchen presents an exhibition and series of performances from time-transcending Afrofuturist musical experimenter and multidisciplinary artist Camae Ayewa, aka Moor Mother. Using soundscape installation, film, collage, and poetry, Ayewa showcases the creative process of her upcoming second Moor Mother album, Analog Fluids of Sonic Black Holes, and its instrumental accompaniment, Sublime Methods of Spiritual Machines, which investigate the idea that every shadow has a history. Her work speaks about ancestral temporality and the embodiment of what remains and lingers: what takes shape and holds in the shadows of the physical world.

The Kitchen presents 'Julius Eastman: That Which Is Fundamental,' an interdisciplinary project of performances and a two-part exhibition, curated by artist Tiona Nekkia McCloden and Bowerbird founder Dustin Hurt, that comprises the most expansive demonstration yet of Julius Eastman's rousing creative output, January 19 - February 10, 2018.

The Kitchen, founded in 1971, has continued to serve as an important catalyst for a broad community of groundbreaking artists working across disciplines. In today's landscape, where contemporary artists and arts institutions are collaborating in new ways and generating new contexts for the continuing evolution of multi-disciplinary art, The Kitchen, as a nimble, smaller-scale organization, plays an especially vital role.

On Friday, November 10, 2017, STAGES St. Louis held its 16th annual Applause! Gala at the Ritz-Carlton in Clayton. Through the generosity of STAGES' loyal patrons and supporters of the arts, Applause! 2017 raised nearly $360,000 in support of the organization's Education and Artistic programs.

The Kitchen is pleased to present the world premiere of Yarn/Wire: Enno Poppe, October 6. Admired for the energy and precision they bring to performances of today's most adventurous music, this year Yarn/Wire are championing new work by Berlin-based composer Enno Poppe. Combining the complex timbres of percussion instruments hand-crank sirens, wood drums, cymbals, complex suspended metal plates, mallet percussion and found objects , all filtered through microtonal organs or paired with dense, perpetually moving piano complexity, and applied with the quartet's skills, this concert give rise to the sonic universe of Enno Poppe.

The Kitchen, founded in 1971, has continued to serve as an important catalyst for a broad community of groundbreaking artists working across disciplines. In today's landscape, where contemporary artists and arts institutions are collaborating in new ways and generating new contexts for the continuing evolution of multi-disciplinary art, The Kitchen, as a nimble, smaller-scale organization, plays an especially vital role: it provides emerging and established artists a hot-house environment for the presentation and discussion of their work, supporting and seeking to foster a vibrant, living dialogue among artists from every field and area of culture.

The Kitchen's Winter 2017 season, January 10-March 25, exemplifies the institution's commitment to a broad range of artists, and to collaboration and discourse among them.

The Kitchen will present the next installment of Synth Nights, its series devoted to the live performance of electronic music, on December 3 with composer, Lesley Flanigan and LA-based Lucky Dragons. A vocalist and instrument builder whose work reflects an elemental approach to her medium, Lesley Flanigan performs new work with handmade speaker feedback instruments alongside amplified voice, creating an intimate connection between gesture and sound-a kind of physical electronic music. Her work has been presented at venues and festivals internationally, including Sonar (Barcelona), The Pritzker Pavilion at Millennium Park (Chicago), the Guggenheim Museum (New York), ISSUE Project Room (Brooklyn), The Stone (New York), TransitioMX (Mexico City), CMKY Festival (Boulder), the Roskilde Museum of Contemporary Art (Denmark) and KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin.
