Link Spring/Break May Be a Little Older, but It Still Parties On
Description The show that started as a messy upstart sibling to the traditional fairs has grown up a bit, though it’s still packed with zany charms.
Event

"In 2017, Taraka Larson spent three and half weeks living in a gallery in Austin, Texas, with a snake. The space was part desert habitat, part throwback to her adolescence, and she wrote songs there. The songs became her first solo album, and the installation morphed into what’s here — an imagined, alternative version of her teenage bedroom. Sprawling, handmade and earnest, the project is quintessential Spring/Break, and Larson will be lounging and performing there for the run of the show. When you’ve been at the fair too long, go hang out and chat, or watch her trippy music videos and let them wash over you."
