Mr. Ben T. Matchstick!

Ben Matchstick is a maniac. I mean that in the really really good sense. Known for his work with Bread & Puppet Theater and Anias Mitchell's Hadestown, Ben is here today in the lab actualizing the artwork of Chris Thompson. Chris' piece in the Firehouse Gallery called Oeuvre=MassMedia+Transformation+Spectacle. The piece is basically 3 big wheels with choices to be made before making art to yield your "maximum artist potential" as it were. Ben's goal today was to spin the wheels three times and then create 3 performances for the end of the day. Here's a few videos of the start of the process:
