Cat Suit. My Barbarian’s latest project, Familliar Tarot, begins with an exhibition at Lubov, NYC. In times of uncertainty, we turn to the cards. Tarot—replete with esoteric symbolism and performed by chance—functions as a score, activating multiple meanings through questions and placement to help us interpret our circumstances, reimagine the past, and glimpse possible futures. Where artist-mystics like Niki de Saint Phalle, Leonora Carrington, and Alejandro Jodorowsky reimagined the 22 trumps of the Major Arcana, My Barbarian begins instead with the Minor Arcana: the common, everyday experiences that make up most of our lives. Designing a new deck that starts with a suit of cats, the collective bridges two ubiquitous oracles of the moment. Both tarot and cats share a certain mystique; as symbols of independence and intimacy, humor and menace, cats mirror the conditions of our mediated, precarious age. Debuting the video installation Nine of Cats (2025) alongside sculptural works like Three of Cats (2025), the exhibition proposes divination as a creative strategy for living through anxiety under encroaching political oppression, reminding us that the joyful and tragic experiences foretold by the cards have already been lived by those who came before. This show is dedicated to Francisco. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614b7d861ab87d7fc8b17232/ed55a219-e709-4fd1-81d3-4feac9597bcf/tempImagePazKyg.jpg Home - The Book of My Barbarian. An unprecedented look at the contemporary collective’s theatrical art, charting their performances and exploring their social and creative commitments The first monographic publication on the art collective My Barbarian (Malik Gaines, Jade Gordon, and Alexandro Segade) offers new insights into the work of this singular group of performers. My Barbarian has used performance to theatricalize social issues, adapting narratives from modern plays, historical texts, and mass media; this volume accompanies a major retrospective celebrating the group’s twentieth anniversary. An overview essay relates their work’s formal qualities to several historical moments over this span: the club era following September 11, 2001; postcolonial theater after the 2008 financial collapse; and political theater responding to the pressing issues of today. Other contributions read the collective’s output through a lens of queer and other critical theory, and contextualize it within the twenty-first-century experimental performance scene. A richly illustrated visual chronology features texts on each of My Barbarian’s past works written by the artists. Performances and video works are re-created using stills alongside photos, drawings, scripts, and personal materials drawn from the artists’ archives, many never previously published.
