Serving as a venue, gallery, studio, and performance space, the three explore the idea that the space may actually be a walk-in version of his brain. The conversation spans the DIY aesthetic to graphic design, marketing, and even the nature of conversation itself. And, it all begins with the topic of karaoke.

Who Is Mike Stasny?
Inspired by the intrinsic learning achieved by a state of childish “flow” while at play – Mike Stasny often refers to his work as “the same thing I was doing at 4, but on the scale of a 42-year-old”. He is a multi-disciplinary artist, musician, producer and curator from the midwest working and based out of Atlanta for the past 10 years. His primary focus is “creative place making” or “creative space design” in which he activates under-utilized locations with imaginative experiences that activate community in time, culture, the economy, and space.
