From October 9, 2025, to March 2, 2026, MOMA PS1 in MoMA PS1 Courtyard, 22-25 Jackson Avenue, Long Island City, Queens, New York New York City is hosting an exhibit by Vaginal Davis called ‘’’The Magnificent Product’’’. The exhibit features much of Davis’ work from the past 50 years and also features photographs by Berlin based photographer, Annette Frick. As a part of Vaginal Davis’ exhibit at MOMA PS1 in New York City, Kembra Pfahler‘s The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black performed in the courtyard of the museum on October 11.
At 10AM on the morning of the performance, the museum sent an email to all Eventbrite ticket holders stating: “Arrive by 3 p.m. to be sure you are able to experience the performance in its entirety. Due to expected high attendance, we highly encourage attendees to arrive in advance of performance start time.” Rain was predicted that day, and it did rain for some time but for the show the weather was clear.
Davis introduced the band at the beginning, who performed a number of both old and new songs. The courtyard of the museum was mostly full for the performance, with audience members even crowding onto the stairs which led up to the stage, which was under an awning. During the performance of “Underwear Drawer”, Pfahler and Alice Moy took underwear out from a box on the stage and threw it into the audience.
