Monte Masi: Everybody’s Dream (had almost come true)

As Direct, Directed, Directly draws to a close, join us in the gallery for Monte Masi’s performance, Everybody’s Dream (had almost come true).

Masi and a cast of collaborators will seek out the chaos in consensus. Riffing on jazz phrasing, stock characters, the fever of big ideas and the thud of failure, they ask us: does everyone having a say mean everyone getting their way?

The first work in Masi’s 2025 Ephemeral Commission series, this piece of ‘mime in the expanded field’ rounds out Direct, Directed, Directly, an exhibition that captures the humour and frustration of trying to communicate.
