“CAVE fluctuates between being our home, our studio, the LEIMAY Ensemble studio, and a space for other artists; the private interweaves with the public, the personal with the social, and sometimes all of those spaces exist simultaneously. For some people, CAVE was a gallery, for others a center of butoh, for others the studio of the LEIMAY Ensemble, and for others an artist’s loft where they slept while staying or living in New York. From the beginning, CAVE has been a vortex defying categories. Live arts such as performance art, dance, experimental sound, and music were intermingled with photography, painting, sculpture, and installation. CAVE is constantly re-shaping in response to internal and external dynamics.”
