Praxis: Brainard Carey and Delia Bajo , interactive performance and conceptual art

In 1999, wife and husband team, Brainard Carey and Delia Bajo created Praxis, their art collaborative. They had a major exhibition in The Whitney Biennial in 2002.

"…this 2-person team offer visitors four free services: foot washes, hugs, Band-Aid applications to help heal visible or non-visible wounds, and gifts of dollar bills. Their interactive, nurturing performances offer alternative modes of economic and social exchange that serve as a comforting antidote to the potentially alienating effects of a world often dominated by technology and consumerism."[3] Debra Singer, curator.

Praxis also brings Museum of Non-visible Art to high-schools, internationally, creating workshops challenging perception and assumptions about art. Students exhibit their non-visible art and share with friends and family.

In their non-material capacities these works open portals to experiencing the social fiber, empowering individual and collective engagement in the essential artlife spectrum.

Praxis Team are currently writing books and evolving their Museum of Non-Visible Art. They have written two books published by Skyhorse in New York City, The Art of Hugging and The School of Wishing and have interviewed 1000’s of cultural producers on Yale Radio.

They live and work in New York City and New Haven, CT.
