Ridgewood Sick Center by Anna Roberts-Gevalt published as part of TULCA Festival of Visual Arts 2023 curated by Iarlaith Ní Fheorais.

Ridgewood Sick Center is a tour of a community center, run by an ancient organization of chronically ill people. We are led through the building where receptionists dispatch musicians to sick neighbors, archive of sick music history, library (organized by syndrome) full of books about the practices of sick artists. The librarian reminds us. All the workers are sick or were sick or will be.
