Don’t just take our
word for it…

“God bless companies like En Garde Arts, and whose founder, Anne Hamburger, asked Gancher for “the biggest, most ambitious site-specific piece that you’ve ever imagined, but never written, because you thought nobody would ever produce it”. That, friends, is how art this good gets made: real trust and investment in big, weird, specific, local ideas. Curiosity. Running screaming from the safe middle, which never turns out to be all that safe after all.”

“I was able to ricochet from show to show, the old familiar fear of missing something finally erasing the recent awfulness of missing everything.”

“Pero no nos confundamos. Esta obra no habla de las tragedias. Fandango para mariposas (y coyotes), celebra la fuerza, la resistencia y la imaginación”

“This is surely your only chance to watch stockbrokers strangling each other on Wall Street to the rhythms of a rock minuet.”
