2013 was our third year working in collaboration at Smoke Farm’s Lo-Fi art & performance festival. We wanted to bring the glamour this year, and since some of our favorite Smoke Farm installations have been at nighttime, we persuaded the curators to haul in a piano and created the Woven Grass Nightclub. Complete with plenty of spots for lounging and a fancy tropical art deco entrance, the Nightclub hosted the yearly late-night singalong, featuring the vocal talents of Jed Dunkerly and the unflappable Anastasia Workman on piano.
