The centerpiece was Robert Ladislas Derr’s “All That Is Solid Melts Into Air” \u2014 an ice bench that visitors were invited to sit on as it slowly melted.<\/p>\n

Participants were asked to describe the experience on camera and see how long they could remain seated. The record stood at just over three minutes when we were there.<\/p>\n

We asked two participants how it felt. Both offered the same understandable assessment: “It’s cold.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Derr joined the event by live video, and the afternoon included a Know Your Rights training focused on protections against ICE.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The program concluded with a screening of Katherine Liberovskaya’s “Ice-Out SP,” accompanied by David Watson on live electric guitar.<\/p>\n
